GrayZee Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I was wondering how many guys are running water injection? I am curious to know about the guys that have no intercooler at all and what sort of times they have been able to accomplish.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Well, I don't know about times and how significant H2O injection would be in lowering times. I have it but as of yet, it's not up and completely running yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 it's not really about lowering times.. Just seems like everyone does the IC route and you don't hear about any crazy water inj. setups. I am curious if there are any.. The only non-intercooled one I know of if mine, and it's not that crazy (yet) LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Try the search function with key words "methanol injection", I've already asked and there's quire a bit of knowledge compiled there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of anything specific? I already did a search and only found countless pages of references to meth injection, it's uses, cons, pros ect... I know all about it.. I have been using it for 2 years. What I did NOT find is any specific references to people that are using it and NOT using a intercooler as well.

alexideways Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Sorry, that is one of the questuions I asked: "is all those gains trough injec. only or, on top of intercooling?" and did'nt got any answer for that but, for the rest, I think it's all been well covered.

510six Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I ran a 10 sec 1/4 mile with no intercooler, just water/methanol injection from an old Spearco water injection system.If you don`t count the N20 shot.At the moment I am running a methanol injection system with no intercooler,but it`s a complex system .If I had to do it all over from scratch I would run 6 addition injectors on there own fuel rail and switch over to 100% methanol under boost.Methanol works , I am a beliver.

mc Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 i built the same inexpensive,simple alky injection set up as you posted ...i have no times to back up its benefits and it is sort of "intercooled" being a remote turbo install[long return pipe]..but it never pings on 87 octane...its doing something right.

What sort of boost levels do you run? I now have 3 nozzles, 2 in the charge pipe and one in the air intake. The first two power up at a mere 5psi, and the 3rd one not until 12psi. I'm looking to upgrade the pumps tho to run higher pressure/smaller nozzles. Maybe I can set a record for the fastest turboZ without a IC.. LOL With a bigger turbo and some better tires I imagine I can break into the 11's Damn I wish I had the benifit of a lighter 240 chassis... 510six's 10second run is certanly impressive but it's kinda in a different league at it is a lighter chassis and benifits from nitrous.

Garrett76Zt Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'm a meth addict as well. Hands down its the best way to have a QUICK Z that runs on the street, $$ wise. I run 26psi all day on pump gas with only 450cc injectors. I just fill up on meth at the track for $2.50 a gallon. As far as running without a IC. . . If i was to start over again, I would do meth before and IC. But it still wouldnt stop me from puttin on an IC eventually. I run staight Methanol BTW.

GrayZee Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'm a meth addict. Dude... say it ain't so... that stuff'll kill ya! Ha ha.. Yeah I guess one plus to not running a IC would be no pressure drop at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayZee Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 9psi is pretty conservative, I can run that without any water/meth. Mind you you said you were running 87octane. If I were you I'd start running 91octane and try a couple more lbs of boost. Ever try using a simple check-ball style manual boost controller? They work great you can get one on ebay for like $10 or even make one yourself. If you have a pop off valve on your manifold you'll wanna plug it with a 1" pipe plug as it'll start venting around 10psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
