What gains could one expect with water/methanol injecting a naturally aspirated 7.3 idi?
Any and all experiences appreciated.

 

not to much, maybe 5-10 hp. and thats a big maybe.

 

What about a turboed one with a Banks cold air intake?

 

Again not much... Water injection should be used to cool egt's. If your looking for HP gains, then look elsewhere.

 

K. Thx.

 

I know its probably too late to do any good, but Banks has the Water-Methanol injection for the old IDI's and it gains you between 75-175hp. So 5-10hp I call BS. But it is a new system.

This is with all due respect to the Diesel Bomber up there. Probably at the time there wasn't much, but the new diesel technology has come a long way even since 2011.

 

Oh, sure, once I wear out my truck and sell it....

 

They did an article on this in Diesel Power magazine on a turbo 6.9 and picked up about 30hp/50ft-lbs running a 50/50 mix.

 

There's also a video displaying how the banks system works compared to others, and it maintains steady through the RPM ranges too, was a good watch

 

Geez man just tryin to help.
