Have any of you made your own water methAnol injection? If so what parts and supplies were needed?

 

Pressure washer, lift pump, reservoir.



Nozzles.



Inverter big enough to run the pressure washer.



Either homemade electronics or one of these to interface it all together. DI-148 Data Acquisition Starter Kit - USB Data Acquisition system
Coolingmist Water Injection, alcohol injection and Methanol Injection systems

Pressure and temperature transducers to talk to the control circuits. Nitrous solenoids to control flow to the nozzles.

 

I just want to say that is totally awesome, how loud is the pressure washer?

 

Not loud enough. When I'm driving down the road and the tool box lid is closed I can hardly hear it.

When I go through all the time, money and innovation to do something like that, it sucks when it doesn't make enough noise to shake the whole vehicle and reverberate off canyon walls when I turn it on. The only "cool" thing it does is throw off enough EFI in my engine compartment to throw a lot of my digital electronics for a loop.

 

haha, how much of a difference can you tell after turning it on?

 

A few extra PSI, a tad lower EGT's, a bit faster.

 

Now you just need a homemade propane setup to go with that awesome water/meth

 

That is an awesome looking set up! Are you satisfied with it's performance? (Well, other than the 'lack' of noise isssue! . . LOL)

 

What happened to the laptop? 200 pounds of gear for 30hp doesn't seem like a really good deal to me. The same effect is achieved with a conventional pump (4lb.?), one hobbes switch and a $2 relay.

 

Can you wash your truck in the middle of the desert with your completely self-contained water injection kit? Huh? Huh? Huh?


If increased pressure doesn't result in better results, then I wonder why so many people are doing it...
