What is the main reason you install a water/meth kit on TT cars. What benefit do you get out of it. How does it aid you in tuning?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in simple terms, its almost like running higher octane gas. It helps with temps, pre-detonation/knock, and allows you to up the boost or timing to make more power.

Yeap, I already know this. I wanted to hear from Nik to see what he had to say.

My wild *** guess would be that the customer doesn't have access to E85.

I understand that it can have that impact and it adds in cooling but they also use it on e85 systems as well. He tuned a car running e90 which is 114 octane and added meth to it so I'm also curious about the use of meth with e85 as it does not require additional cooling and you can remove a heck of a lot of timing using Ignite 114. I know, I'm tuned on it lol!

Meth + E85 makes no sense to me. E85 is already a higher octane than meth and burns just as cool. I must be missing something.

And that is the million dollar question!

Water meth = Unicorn Tears :rofl2:

In all seriousness, the benefit of adding a water methanol injection systems aids in providing cooler intake charge temperature, increases octane, provides an additional 200 cc of fuel flow (depending on nozzle sizing), and is a great knock suppressant. In regards to how it aids in tuning, if it used with any fuel it will increase the octane rating even with E85 as the tendency for knock to occur is minimized. Consistency in power is another reason, with most fuels, especially on hot days you will notice a drop in power, the water is able to evaporate under the high temperatures in the cylinder and as it evaporates it is able to take the heat away with it. Where we are located a lot of gas stations do no have E85 so going with the 93 and water/meth is a great substitute as we have seen very similar numbers if not more power than E85. Hopefully this is able to answer your initial question. :)

Thanks Nik!

Temps were a bit warm today. I assume there would be a few more ponies with cooler temps?

You are correct sir...it was close to 90 degrees in the dyno room :(

*Fourth Gear pull*

Video:

That torque curve is flat like a table top. That's got to be a ton of fun to drive!

I don't get the 4th gear pulls, 5th is 1:1....

Less load on the clutch

Revving all the way to 7800 on boost? What are your thoughts on that Nik?

Stock throttle cut is 7500, we set the rev limiter to 7700 (stock rev limiter is 7650), we have not seen any issues in regards to revving up to that RPM. I know there are a number of guys who have run into issues with their oil pumps failing before then or slightly after that range. Then again it is a stock component that was not made to see these RPM levels over an extended period of time, with that being said there is additional stress that is being put on this component.

Thanks! I know (at least in layman's terms) that revs stress a motor more than boost does so I have often seen tuners actually lower the rev limit on boosted cars.. You guys have a good rep though so just wanted to your thoughts on it. :tup:

Get a clutch that's worth a damn then, when you showed the 4th vs 5th gear pull it's clear that 4th gear pulls are not truly representative of your tuning capability.

5th gear pulls are just about numbers and are known as glory pulls. The tuning will still be done in 4th gear! Numbers don't really mean much other than bragging rights. I and many that actually use car at the track or for pure pleasure are most concerned in how the car performs over baseline on the road and track.

Yup. Dude doesn't realize that 99% of the dyno graphs on this site are 4th gear pulls.

There seems to be a lot of I know what I don't know going around!

2nd that.
