hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows where i can get premixed methanol/water??? im finalising the install of my water/methanol injection kit and want a relaible source for this... i really dont want to have to buy a drum of meth and have it around my house, lol!!! Way to dangerous.....

anyway seems testing is showing an increase of around 40 WHEEL hp across the powerband...... we are spraying this a charge coolant only, not a substitute to fuel....... it also has the benefit of steaming cleaning my engine internals which is nice......

heres alittle explanation for those interested :-)

if youve got forced induction, a big intercooler and a decent boost circuit you can really make this stuff work to massive effect, in essence its like driving in 1 deg C weather, even during 25+ deg C weather........

Bascially you spray this just after the inter-cooler outlet where it become steam and cools the warm/hot charge air.... this basically gives your super-cool charge air into the engine, the best bit is not revision to the tune is needed as this a simply charge coolant only..... when you use this as a fuel substitute your enter a different ball game where proper fail-safes need to be in place..... the way i will be using it is a simply like being in subzero temps..... if it runs out the car see's normal charge temp, and behaves as ESS always intended.....

I've been liaising with a few of my american friends who have the stage 2 ess kits and one particular guy made a dyno proven 485hp AT the WHEELS, with big tq numbers to boot, i believe that equates to about 550 odd engine hp.... The best thing is, this all equates to a SAFER supercharger kit as my EGTs, AITs, will be all lower.....

anyway back to the original question.... anyone know where i can buy premix methanol.... Lots of companies do it in american... my favourite being "devils own brew"....

One day, when I've figured out how I can insure it, I'll be using your car as a prototype for my mods, but in superior coupe form of course :D

lol.... i saw that coming...... insurance is really not that bad with certain companies....

anyhow ill tell you myself soon as ive got to remove this car from the company fleet policy.... they called me and said its too "extreme" and they are being forced to act, they gave me 4 months to remove it from the fleet..... ive had a good run so now i will have to pay what everyone else has to pay..... oohhh nooo..... who knows, it might very well be the end of this bugger!! lol....

Bunch of girls!!!

Good luck with finding cover at all, let alone at a reasonable price... Let me know how you get on, as that really is the major thing keeping a supercharger out of my car :evil:
 
Honestly it really is not that hard to mix. I ran an 80/20 mix on my Subaru and it is (when done correctly) very safe.

2.45 litres to 2.55 litres
With a 5 litre can it might be easier to measure out a 60/40 mix as each litre of a 5 litre total equals 20%. much easier to measure out in whole easy to see amounts. .45 and .55 litres is doable but just a little bit fiddly.

$20.00 per gallon. Holy crap! How fast would your setup use 1 gallon?

I just looked up the contract prices for methanol in Europe and America. 336 gallons cost 330 Euro or 85P per gallon. $1.34 per gallon in America. So that $20 can of devils brew has 67 cents of methanol in it along with $19.33 of water. :-o YIKES! Maybe you should by a barrel and mix your own.
