Meth question...

[Sean]

I have a simple question. Why not just put the nozzle at the throttle body. Most of us in the buick camp have been doing that 4 years. Not necc to reinvent the wheel. Simple works best imo!!

Works fine.I advocate the same thing. The "Thoery" that sparying water into the turbo works better is feed by the fact that the water wicks onto the IAT sensor and makes it read lower. But its more illusion then reality.

I played with all this stuff years ago. I found just ahead of the tb perpendicular to the blades worked best.

I would never recommend pre compressor injection, it seems like common sense..

if your a rational thinking human being and maintain your vehicle properly you should never be able to run your meth kit dry..(low level indicators are standard on most kits worth a damn) further more relying on it to piggy back your fuel system on a street car isnt a good idea it should only complement it. track cars are a different story. just my .02

Ask member Sean as he seems to have the answer for everything.

And yet a lowly K&N airfilter on a 7.3 truck turns the compressor blades into sand blasted swisscheese with typical driving in as little as 10,000-15,000 miles.

It's not like you guys inveted something new here. People have been spraying water into turbos for years.

There a reason most of them stopped.

You also don't want to vaporize the water before it gets to the cylinder. Sort of defeats the purpose of water injection. You want your water to steam conversion to occur in the chamber during the peak of the combustion process to take out as much latent heat as you can.

but whatever.

Also you have issue with puddling and water buildup in the charge pipping and intercoolers.

Best place to sray water is right ahead of the throttle blade. Shears nicely on the blade and does its job very effectively.

But 8 aquamist nozzles in each port like a nitrous system work good to and also helps with any potential for pooling and ponding in the intake manifold.

I can see where this is going. We never said we invented water methanol injection. We were asked by another member to respond to this discussion and we did.

And never mind the fact that we have performed our own testing on nozzles locations and various types of fluids. Or that I have personally been involved with over 1500 systems in the past 3 years and that I work with this everyday. Everything we must be saying is completely unwarranted or untrue.

Since it seems member Sean has all the answer when it comes to water injection we don't see a need for our involvement on this forum any longer. have a questions feel free to email us directly or find us on other forums which we sponsor.

i had a K&N on my old 7.3 for 35k and never had a problem with the turbo. it made 28lbs every day, i beat the shit out of that truck. turbo looked new when the truck was sold.

do you have alot of experience tuning meth on forced induction cars? i might be using a kit and will need some assistance on a dyno tuning it.
