Help, water-meth nozzle install

M3jamaica · 07-16-2018, 03:57 AM

Want to use the water meth mix just for cooling and sefety porpoises on a ess595 kit. I would add a small nozzle without an extra tune for it. Where could I best place the nozzle? On the intake plenum?

If just one nozzle, it should go on the compressor discharge pipe on the way to the plenum or on the plenum inlet. The earlier the better for equal dispersion.

This may work better on a non IC car than on an IC car. Normally you put the nozzle after the IC, but you can’t do that on an air water IC manifold unless you use those expensive individual port/nozzle ITBs — I forget who makes them. They are very nice and very expensive.

Understand, my problem is that where I am we only have 90 octane gas(10%ethanol 90), so in worried to detonate with a supercharger. I was looking at the 550 kit non intercooled which would allow me to use the meth to increase cooling and octane, but I also like the 595 kit intercooled, just not sure how the 91 tune will work with our fuel. At ESS they suggested I add some torco octane booster, but I heard it destroys the plugs....I really don't know what to do.....
