Crystal Meth, for that boooosted car.

It is called meth injection if you are injecting meth.

If you're using a mixture of meth and water, can you call it WmAeTtEhR?

Because its the water thats acting as an anti-detonated, the methanol/ethanol is just increasing the volatility.

Its like calling a turbo a "exhaust back pressure generator"
lol

Also, since everybody calls it "meth injection", people are starting to beleive that that is what it is, just pure meth injection.
I cnat tell you how many times Ive talked about possibly doing a water injection setup only to be met with the reply of "Why would you inject water?" or "Dont you mean meth injection?" :facepalm:

Maybe Im just obsessive about semantics...

I guess. If you are taking the alchohol into account in terms of tuning your AFR, such that you are essentially substituting some alcohol for some gasoline, then you can definitely say that the alcohol is an antidetonant. Its basically semantics. Alcohol is a darn sight less volatile than pretty much any gasoline we run on a regular basis anyway. And one way or the other it is being injected. Lots of people seem to like pure methanol injection because with its ability to evaporate so easaly you can inject a much higher volume before hitting quench raltive to water or a mix. You also run pig rich, or run with a tune dependent on it, use a ton of fluid, pay more for fluid, risk fire issues, etc. But it does work well to cool IATs and it pretty well eliminates detonation even if you go way beyond MBT.

Pretty much everyone refers to it as water/meth or water/meth injection as far as I can see.

Yeah, what if you are injecting solely meth.

rleete 04-13-2010 12:51 PM

What about if we just inject a fuel. Say, gasoline, for instance. We can use a regular stock injector, but we need something to control it. How about a piggyback, like a powercard?

Dayam, I'm a freaking genius!

I saw it on SYFY. Fuel pumps explode all the time. Now injectors, filters, lines, FPRs, those wont blow up ever. And fuel pumps wont blow up if they are in the back, even in a rear-end colission. Thank goodness Hyper is around to help us.

Or maybe you don't understand what methanol/ethanol does. It's LESS volatile (HIGHER octane rating). It raises the detonation threshold not by reducing the temperature of the charge, but by raising octane (and adding a bit of oxygen to the mixture as well).

The supercharger set up he used to have will be rusting for years to come.

And apparently you dont know what "Volatile" is.
Volatility is how well a liquid vaporizes.
Ethanol/Methanol have higher volatility, so it vaporizes better, thus reducing the temperature of the charged air.

Although Methanol/Ethanol have a higher octane rating, they are actually more prone to preignition, this isnt a problem when running on pure alcohol like they do with drag cars and whatnot, but it is a problem when running on gasoline because the preignition can stimulate detonation. This is why youre not supposed to run pure "meth" injection, because if you inject enough the tendency to pre-ignite will overwhelm the lower IATs.

This is well documented in "The High speed internal combustion engine" written by Harry R. Ricardo, who was pretty much the founder of water injection as we know it today.

Being a chemist I can vouche for this assessment of volatilization. However, this fact does play a role in them having a higher octane rating (but is not the only one). The water is mainly used in conjunction with the alcohols as it has a relatively massive specific heat capacity to other solvents.

Heat Capacities:
Water (liquid) = 4.1813 J/(g*K)
Water (gas) = 2.080 J/(g*K)
MeOH (liquid) = 2.48 J/(g*K)
EtOH (liquid) = 2.44 J/(g*K)

Hm, thats a pretty substantial difference in specific heat capacity.

Now the bit about pre-ignition and whatnot I have mixed feeling about.
The source is very reputable, but also very old.
And so many people are very successful with E85 which is a mix od petrol and ethanol.

It may be possible that there is a very strange relationship between concentration of ethanol and detonation. Which would make sense because it is a balancing act between IATs, octane, and detonation threshold.

There was a time when he was a sane and sensible person. Long time ago though.

He graduated from South Miami High School in 1993 (which would make him about 35 today). He is somehow related to Thier Alberto Peraza, however I'm not certain of the relationship.
