Water meth- does anyone run it?

[martziniuk]

I'm finding myself getting getting more and more tempted by the benefits of running a water methanol kit. Does anyone on here run one as I've not seen any posts lately and what do you think for everyday driving?

I bought a Labonte S4 kit but ended up not fitting.  Partly because of lack of known / trusted tuners where I am in Germany and also Im not 100% happy with my software as it is, dont want to further complicate things, rather just go for new Mapping 1st.  The Apr I have isnt adjustable either to help map to the W/Meth kit

Revo would be well suited to a W/Meth kit

Sell me it 
I would run it with the Stage 2+ map and would not get the map changed for it. I would be just happy to run lower octane fuel and take advantage of lower intake temps and possibly better mpg.

Sold it a bit back back mate sorry

[martziniuk]

No probs  . Anyone else fitted one?

I think there is a long term issue with wm in our engines as it seems to cause premature failure of the throttle body motor depending on where abouts you spray the meth.

I can't remember who I sold it to but I'd be interested in seeing the results

Yeah I had read that happened in one case, something to do with a plastic throttle slide.

Yep, but if it is injected after, either by direct port or using one of the Throttle/manifold adaptor plates, then the issue should be resolved.

Apparently

Hmm I'll look into that but it sounds more complicated and expensive

The bsh throttle body pipe is one ready-made solution.

This would still pass the Butterfly valve though in the throttle body

Not more complicated to be honest.  Seen them for about $70-80

Yup but the only way to bypass the butterfly flap is to drill port(s) for the injector(s) in the intake manifold itself.

Can use one of these.
