Methanol Injection
Methanol injection Benefits Include:-
- Increased
horsepower safely by 10-15%.
- Lowered
air temperatures by 50-200+ degrees.
- Decreased
cylinder temperatures up to 300 degrees.
- Reduced
effects of heat soak in warmer climates.
- Allowable
running of more boost and timing safely.
- Reduced
carbon and assistance maintaining a clean combustion chamber.
- Increased
octane at user programmable boost levels.
The main function of water methanol injection is to prevent
detonation. Detonation is produced by high temperatures and pressure developed
in the combustion chamber. Water has a high latent heat content, which
makes it extremely effective at preventing the onset of detonation. In
addition, water injection reduces the production of NOx (oxides of nitrogen).
Methanol, with its 116 octane and high flash point, additionally reduces the
chances of detonation. While water is not combustible, it has a greater
capacity to cool the intake air temps more than methanol alone. This is
why we recommend a 50/50 mixture being misted into your boosted engine.
Methanol effectively increases the octane rating of the fuel, allowing
performance gains when used in supercharged and turbocharged applications.
How’s that for a science lesson? You hook it up, and you will see what facts
and figures cannot describe adequately: a huge increase in your vehicle’s
performance! You can verify the change because you know your vehicle better
than anyone else. You won’t be disappointed, you’ll be excited about your performance
increases!
