Where do you put methanol nozzle?

Where do you put methanol nozzle?

The most common location to place a nozzle is three to six inches from the throttle body. The nozzle should spray directly into the throttle body and should never be placed right before a tight-radius bend.

How long does it take to install methanol kit?

roughly four hours
The wiring portion of the system is easy and here the methanol injection pump is grounded. The controller is run inside and the Snow Performance instructions were easy to follow to wire it all up. The entire installation took roughly four hours including the wiring.

Why does water injection increase horsepower?

Water is normally injected either at the compressor inlet or in the diffuser just before the combustion chambers. Adding water increases the mass being accelerated out of the engine, increasing thrust and it also serves to cool the turbines.

Does methanol expire?

Store methanol vials in a cool, dry environment, away from VOC sources. Methanol vials should not be stored for longer than 3 months. If the storage environment is potentially compromised, storage time should be less than 3 months.

How much does methanol injection cost?

Pros: Meth injection kits are about $500-$750. The gains we observed (574 rwhp on pump gas 93 octane versus 616 rwhp with methanol injection added) are large.

How much methanol do you inject?

Up to approximately 30 psig of boost, water/methanol injection (using 50% methanol) will provide all the density increase/detonation control needed in most applications. Of course, intercooling and water/methanol injection would provide even greater benefits, especially beyond 30 psig of boost.

Can methanol go in plastic containers?

Plastic containers are not recommended for long-time storage or shipment of methanol because the solvent properties of methanol may degrade the plastic, causing the containers to lose structural integrity.

Does methanol absorb into plastic?

Methanol will eat away many types of plastic, so at the very least make sure your container is approved for the stuff.

Can you use windshield washer fluid for methanol injection?

Methanol can be purchased at VP Racing Fuels. -20 degree F rated, blue windshield washer fluid is acceptable for use as well, and is available at most service stations. Although some fluids rated to under -20 degrees F contain glycol and other copolymers, most windshield washer fluids are up to 40% methanol.

Does methanol make more power than ethanol?

Compared to ethanol, methanol has an even lower heating value of 20.0 MJ/kg. In other words, a gallon of ethanol has only two-thirds the energy of a gallon of gas, whereas methanol has less than half.
