Methanol? Done any testing?

Post by powerbbs »

I was doing some research on some basic "bolt on" mods for your engine to help with things like HP and torque. I found an interesting product that involves a new injection system into the air intake that injects a 50/50 methanol and water mixture into the intake tube/manifold.

This creates a cooling effect (by the low evaporation rate of the water) on the intake chamber to help keep your engine cool from the methanol injection and at the same time offers a high octane (up to 120) gas into the engine offering up to like 50RWHP at WOT.

The kit is way cheap (like 160.00) and actually has been featured in quite a few automotive magazines (High-Tech Performance, Diesel World,Fast FX, Diesel Builder, Mustang Enthusiast, Hot Rod, Diesel Power, Import Tuner, etc) and has kits universally for both Diesel and gas. They have Stage 1 (stock), Stage 2 (Stock/turbo) and Stage 3 (turbo/superchargers) injection systems, as well as systems that work on engines with or without MAF sensors.

The system already comes with a high pressure pump (150-180psi), reservour for the "fuel" and adjustable soleniods and activation switches and hoses, and injection nozzles.

I was wondering if you have done any testing with these types of systems in any of your test vehicles and if the "custom tunes" your dealers offer can do things to help improve the performance of these types of systems?

I guess a simpler way to ask is: Have you tested on any Methanol Injection Systems with your Predator Product?

We have tuned several Methanol set ups and have worked closely with Snow Performance on some tuning aspects of using Meth.
Any of our CMR dealers have the ability to create custom tunes for use with Meth injection.

That's the answer I'm looking for. It's sweet that you're quoting the same company I'm planning on buying the injection kit from, that makes me very excited to get the predator.

Thanks for that!

Hey this sounds sweet.

Almost like a motor friendly lesser NOS system

Any long term side effects known?
