Any of you high end power freeks fitted a water/methanol injectio system?

Im looking into doing this to keep the boost up on the turbo through out the rev range and speed..

any more info on this?

I am sure Roy may have an idea about this, sure he has tried it.

Thanks mate.

Sounds like a worthwhile mod – they are like £300 odd though, then its fitting about £100 I would say? (2 hours to fit)

With turbo cars / forced induction I believe it is a worthwhile mod to keep the charge temps down therefore making the air dense on the intake.

Worth checking out some jap forums dude. There's nothing they don't know about getting every last bhp via forced induction, they'll be able to offer you some advice.

Jubs,
Try : sxoc.co.uk (http://www.sxoc.co.uk/vbb) or Scoobycity (http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php)

Really any of theforced induction Jap car forums will have the knowledge of this.

Has water injection been discussed on the TTOC (http://www.ttoc.co.uk/) ?

Cheers

Quite true, I noticed that when i used to visit there for my dad when he had his TT, not many engine modder's as such.

Have you had a boost gauge fitted at all, good for keeping an eye on those boost levels.

Cheers

You'd be better off buying a larger or more efficient intercooler as a way of reducing you inlet temps, setting up a water /methanol system is not as easy as bolting it on and away you go.

Have you thought about getting remapped using methanol ? It's easly available, and I found some very good gains to be had from running 10-15% methanol and SUL.

Just see this.

yeah im going stage 2 on the car, so looked into a different map. APR stage 2 is very good.
Intercooler is already on the cards will defo buy one.

I won’t fit this methanol kit my self, never would even try lol. but yeah I just want full boost through out the gears. At the moment its boosting all over the place?
