Water meth
luckyGti:
I run a snow performance stage 3 kit with 7 gallon tank in the boot, definitely a noticeable gain in power and well worth it imo.
James will be able to give a better explanation of the benefits/gains as mine isn't set-up to it's full potential at the moment.

james:
i have been playing with mine running 50/50 60/40 70/30 and 100% meth
100% meth is epic! lol but i now run 70/30.
i get around 60/70BHP from it due to me running loads of advance timing. :drinking:
The car needs to be mapped to it :happy2:
skiddusmarkus:
The main benefits are that it cools inlet charge and cylinder temps, allowing you to run more boost/timing.
Water is better at cooling the inlet charge and methanol is superior in the cylinders, plus it also boosts octane.This is why people run a mix, although some run a small % of methanol to stop water freezing in cold conditions.
I have it fitted but atm its just spraying water.The reason being is methanol is highly toxic and I don't particularly want to store something so flammable in large quantities.
When my car was mapped, it was done with the WO off(not what I asked for), so when its on, it actually loses around 8bhp as you have to lean off the mixture when spraying and this hasn't been done as yet.
james:
i have tried to see if it is flammable 50/50 and does not burn
but burns at 70/30.
bacillus:
Just remember that aluminium and methanol are not best buddies...
