Water/Methanol Injection - The 50 Percent Solution
Water/Methanol Injection - The 50 Percent Solution
Thanks to modern electronics, water/methanol injection is the hottest thing to hit blown/turbocharged engines in yearsWe're sure you've heard the stories about how nitrous oxide was first pioneered on German fighter planes during World War II--the Focke-Wulf and Messerschmitt interceptors used nitrous in conjunction with superchargers to step up the power. But what a lot of people don't know is that they also injected a water/methanol mixture for the same reason. Adding a mix of water and methanol to the intake airstream does several useful things that add up to a major improvement in an engine's detonation threshold. Used alone or in conjunction with an intercooler, water/methanol injection allows more ignition timing, lowers intake air temperature, and provides an additional source of very high-octane fuel. The automakers have also experimented with water injection, most notably on the '62 Oldsmobile F-85 Turbo Jetfire, the Saab 99 Turbo S, and the prototypes for the legendary Buick turbo G-body cars.
