Like water injection, but far better.
People only use water I think as thats whats legal to use on Rallycars etc, and Alcohol inj is against the rules, and most road mods are derived from Racing/Rallying...
Anyone know anything about it?
Ive heard tons about it on US forums, people running mega power with no intercooler at all, just alky injection
I drive it daily and put about 250 miles a week on it. 31 pounds of boost (what's that, like 2.1 bar?) on pump gas and alcohol, all day and every day.
I use an injection kit that uses it's own nozzle and fuel source, similar to the Aquamist kit.

It's very nice, I was getting some big knock at 20-21 psi on pump gas before, but with the alcohol injection 31 pounds daily is no problem.
I've had it higher, like 35 psi/2.4 bar, but it made me nervous pouring that much boost into my daily driver.
My car performs as well on 93 octane plus methanol injection as it did running straight 110 octane in the tank, it honestly is the best money I have spent on my car aside from the bigger turbo.
At 31 psi it's made 680 RWHP, but keep in mind that's through a heavy automatic transmission and a fairly loose torque converter, that would be closer to 750 through a standard trans.
That bests what I could do on plain pump gas by a little over 100 RWHP, hard to complain with that!
What do they mean by alcohol? Pure alcohol no? Methanol it seems from what he wrote? Where do you buy methanol or pure 100% alcohol from n what it cost?
