Meth or Alcohol?

[snakebite]

Which do u guys think is better? And what brand system is the best? im new to the evo game and never had anyexperiance with meth or alcohol. any info will be great apprecated thanks.

Methanol's chemical forumla is CH3OH, and it is a form of alcohol, just as isopropanol and ethanol are.

Methanol has the best overall properties in terms of detonation controll and heat absorbtion, and it is readily available, hence why it it used most of the time.

I'm not here to sell directly, but I certanly recomend you take a look at our systems, as they are available from supporting vendors on this site such as Ultimate CC.

I use a water/ethanol mix, because ethanol, in its de-natured state ( methylated spirits) is much easier to get hold of here in the UK. It is also a bit safer to handle then methanol. A 50/50 mix of water and alky is also a fair bit safer to store, say in the trunk or your garage.

You get the most power running 100% meth.

^^^ I agree. Is there E85 where you're located?

I disagree! At the top of this water injection section there is a sticky regarding which mixture to use. 100% water will make more power than 100% meth ever could. 100% alky is only easier to tune thats all.

Honestly you get into a huge debate on mixtures. We recomend a 50/50 mix because:

1) Its effective. It allows fantastic temperature drops on the intake side, while also absorbing a lot of excess heat in combustion. It boosts octane to levels that most people will not/do not need in their tune. 50/50 water methanol will provide enough resistance to detonation (aka octane) for most aggressive tunes to be run without soark knock. At the same time, the heat absorbtion is also a good way to prevent any pre-igniton issues as well.

2) It's safe. It has a fairly high flash point.

3) It's cheap.

Having said all that, people have accomplished good results with pure meth, pure water, and everything in between.

I used boost juice from snow performance when i had snow kit on my Z. Easy and inexpensive.
