the purpose of Water Methanol System is for cooling at high boost right ...
there is risk if the methanol tank empty and you don't notice it, you will have a blown engine.

Thanks Guys and hope more Forumers can drop in and share...

why are you considering Water Methanol System ? you want to boost 2.0bar ? or you suspect your intake air-temp too high ? mind to share ...

Your afr can run leaner with it.

stock engine internals can run water-meth injection for high boost? will it damage the stock internals in the long run?

It's like buying candy each time your kids cry. WMS is nothing new, cooler air make extra horsy. For street car I think it's wasting your $ but track/drag use it is worthy. Why not use $ for other long term potential power for our turbo car, if for street car?

More boost, more heat. Boosting 2bar for 10 sec (street) damage is so minimal as oppose to continuous 2-3 mins in track. Why worry?

Guys, please stop posting what you heard from hearsay, that doesn't add up to quality answers and when things are repeated they are being taken for granted which doesn't help at all.

I'm using WI for a long time in my S2000 and I'm considering it too for my Evo X here in MY.

So first stop on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engines)

There's a lot of stuff available on one of the major makers of WI systems, which is where Aquamist comes in. They're not only the system maker which is running in my S2000, but also in Rallye cars.

Check out first their excellent website of tech articles: http://www.aquamist.co.uk/dc/technic/technic.html

This one pretty much sums it up why you should have WI in your forced induction car.

Lastly, go to their forum and check inside, Evo & Subi use it a lot and you find qualified answers from people who used it and are still using it, besides you get excellent answer from Richard @ Aquamist, who knows soooo much about this topic.

Just my two cents,

Thanks for the great sharing...

So, who's going first in installing? It naturally all depends on what you aim for, if you just want to more safety (in prevent knocking), more hp, less fuel consumption or combinations of these you still have to keep in mind that there's no way around a proper re-tune to get to optimal results.

As you're changing the mixture in your combustion chamber just adding water actually has a negative effect on your hp.
