Thread: Methonal...

methanol injection is actually more efficient that an intercooler. Intercooler can only bring temps down to ambient temps. Methanol injection can bring down the temps more. Some of the main grand prix vendors push against methanol injection because it cuts intercooler sales and why they say it does not work . But if you look around at other cars like cobalts ss, "which have eaton 62" mustangs/lightnings "which haveEaton 112" lots of them run this... So don't read into some of the others B.S. about it not working. Shoot most ALL buick grand nationals, run methanol injection. Most modded subbies, wrx, speed 3, speed6, srt4 run alky. Just some key people in this market that preach against it because it effects there pocket book.

most of the cars you mentioned run a turbo. turbo cars LIVE on methanol. on a blown car it does work and it is effective, but unless you do it right then it is NOT as effective as an intercooler. i guarantee if i bolted an intercooler on my car i would have been way better off than running meth through the blower with a single nozzle.

the only way to make it work well is TWO NOZZLES IN THE LIM AND ONE NOZZLE IN THE TB SPACER/BLOWER INLET. fact.

X2 the reason why methanol is not the best solution on our cars is the setup of the LIM on our cars. Location is key and there isn't much room to work on a L67 lim. A good solution would be to make a phenolic spacer with a couple of nozzles positioned near the V outlet of the supercharger.

Umm, I listed off the eaton suppercharger that commonly is on it from the factory But the cars thats its most common on are turboed. Its just as effective. Just the intercooler vendors put up alot of bad info about it not working.

But if you look around at other cars like cobalts ss, "which have eaton 62" mustangs/lightnings "which haveEaton 112" lots of them run this...

I have played with meth injection on quite a few eaton supercharged cars. No need to make it over complicated and run the nozzles after the blower.
