for those worried about water corrosion, just remember one of the main byproducts of combustion IS water so engines are completely used to processing it.

[@michaelblacktree]

I don't know where people get the idea it'll rust the engine. Like he mentioned in the video, the water/meth solution actually "steam cleans" the engine internals.

[@erlannalan]

yeah, if they are worried with water corrosion they should buy or make their own distilled water. it's not that hard honestly. The steam deep clean and high temperature of the internal engine will also make sure to make the corrosion build up hard to develop.

[@RaptorFPV]

Heat the mirror in your bathroom with a hair dryer and breath on it, look what happens. Heat a pan over 100°C and put a water droplet in it, look what happens. I wouldn´t worry about water corrosion in a heated engine, in a cold engine it´s a different thing. So, if you´re paranoid, warm up your engine, then turn on the injection system. ~15min. before turning off the engine turn off the injection system so the combustion chamber dries out, then have a restful sleep.

[@steveyoutube1709]

It’s very important to run a fail safe because it detects if water isn’t flowing ( clogged injector, empty tank etc), and prevent additional boost/timing

[@xani666]

I'd imagine ECU would instantly detect knocking and tune it down no ?

[@steveyoutube1709]

@@xani666 aftermarket maybe, factory dodge will retard a little timing… boost depends on how that’s controlled

[@lightmetalinc.6488]

It won't affect your tune as much as you think and when it comes to ignition timing, if you were already in a safe place, it's only going to be safer from the charge cooling. Unless you're adding timing for power gains because you were knock limited before, but you need a dyno to prove any gains. Also cooler air is more dense and will run a fixed tune leaner and vice versa hot air will enrich it, this is why IAT (intake air temp) sensors are integral to ECU compensations, likely already programmed.

[@jake_3946]

this is how i blew my n54 twice, never doing methanol again

[@lightmetalinc.6488]

@@jake_3946 The key is to tune it on normal fuel 98RON (AUS) or 93 Octane (US) then add the methanol as a safety net, that way you're not on the ragged edge of your tune relying on the methanol to keep you knock resistant. In effect if the methanol system stops working you still have a safe tune on normal fuel.

Water/Meth is hard on wideband 02 sensors. That being said it works great, dropped my temps by almost 100F.

That fitting in the silicone coupler will pop out eventually! I installed mine the same way, except my nozzle holder was plastic not metal, and it took about a year of daily driving but eventually I had to figure out how to get to stop popping out. You can find throttle body spacers that have a provision for a methanol nozzle BTW. I also run about 2 bar of boost and target .85. I've had mine for probably about 3 years now and my engine hasn't rusted. Lol

I've been using water/denatured alcohol injection on my turbo 1hz diesel for years and it works. More power and lower egt's

[@KarzKreated]

Something to keep in mind as I just learned myself while installing a custom multi port W/M system is a flow control solenoid may be required if you have more than one nozzle. My system utilizes 1 nozzle per intake port on a 2.3L Ecoboost, so 4 nozzles total. Even with a check valve, the engine vacuum at idle pulled the fluid through the pump, through 18ft of line, through a filter and check valve into cylinders 3 & 4. So, if you plan to run a similar system, I suggest incorporating a solenoid. I would say it's required for multi port setups. 🙂

[@vagcentral2252]

I installed water methanol on my car a couple years back. I used the snow performance 2.5 and integrated the 52mm gauge in the car. Highly recommend that kit. Just more wiring but guage doubles as psi read out. Brought my temps down from roughly 35c to 0-3c on logs and kept my valves clean. If you're running 51/49 menthol you honestly don't need to upgrade your intercooler. If you do this on your daily driver please save your self the hassle and just upgrade to the biggest tank that you can fit. The tank in this video will last 10 min of wot pulls. If you don't wanna deal with methanol go for port injection you can add more power and keep the valves clean. Best part only add gas.

Installed a snow performance stage 1 kit. Only downside is it only comes with 2 nozzles a size 6 and a 9. Wanting to get a size 4. Its also worth noting if you have a standalone ecu such as a haltech ecu you do not need the controller. Your ecu should come with a water injection page and you can set your ecu to control your water injection. With settings under water injection(advanced) you can set it to turn on with map,tps, rpm limitation triggers and you can set it to turn on while using launch control.

[@az_3kgt714]

And the halt ech ecus also has 2 seperate look up tables to compansate for afr/lambda and ignition timing with out tweaking your base fuel and ignition tables. So your tune only works while its spraying..like it has 2 maps all the time.

[@jacobormsby9241]

just one minor correction: you definitely COULD see some additional power by simply having the system installed on the car. The system will cool the air, cooler air = denser air. Denser air = more power, as long as you have an ecu that will auto-correct even a small amount of AFR. You most certainly wont get the most out of it this way though.

[@ajidamarjati]

So in theory i can install them on my GE8 Jazz? 😂

[@mmx512]

Hi! Great video, thanks! Small correction though regarding AFRs. You have mentioned that because methanol has a lower stoichiometric ratio you should lower your target AFR in ECU. I believe that's not how it works because O2 sensor doesn't actually measure the mass of fuel, it measures only oxygen (that's why it's call an oxygen sensor) and outputs lambda of which the stoichiometric ratio is 1 regardless the type of fuel. It is then displayed as AFR for gasoline in ECU for convenience/familiarity. So even if you go, for example, full methanol instead of gas, your gasoline AFR that O2 sensor displays stoichiometric value would still be 14.7:1, to see real methanol AFR in that case you'd just need to setup your gauge to display methanol AFR, but the lambda and the mass of methanol would be the same.

Sitting here wondering if I can throw it onto a motorcycle🤔

[@collinclay3803]

Im not expert on these systems but what I can tell you is a motorcycle engine works in the same way any other 4 stroke fuel injected engine works. One question I have is if there is a noticeable power increase on NA engines. I imagine there’s is a big increase in safety/reliability but I’m sure the big power jumps come from using this system on boosted applications. (Again I’m no expert so this is all based off conjecture)

[@Mylity66]

Ah me too, further, how would soomeone go about modifying a carbureted motorcycle to use water inyection.... ive been reading on it, and as far as i can tell it can and has been done with great success, the question that remains in my mind is how do I go about doing it with scrap.... I was thinking maybe modifying a normal carburator to have 2 needles, the normal one pulling gasoline and a second one pulling water. The gasoline gets pulled up like a tiny drop and it gets pulverized by the piston creating great negative pressure towards the engine.... i don't see why wouldn't an Ethanol/water mixture do the same. Only problem is with carbs you have to go completely by feel when adjusting, no fancy computerized settings and fine tunning. Just listen to the engine.

[@shariqkamal649]

Nice videos keep us entertained

[@EDesigns_FL]

Manifold pressure is only one metric that should be used in determining spray volume: RPM should also be used, and I'm surprised that the Snow Performance ECU doesn't monitor this. Though the system looks okay, the fact that it doesn't use RPM in calculating how much to inject makes is very inefficient. It will inject more than necessary at low RPM's and may not inject enough at high RPM's.

[@d4a]

Imt afraid you don't understand how a turbocharged engine works. The engine can't build boost at low rpm. This system never injects anything below 3800 and then it starts with a small quantity and injects progressively

[@EDesigns_FL]

@@d4a My primary vehicle is turbocharged and I have had several others. I also have been using water injection systems before you were even alive. It's you who lacks knowledge on this subject. If your engine is not building max boast before 3800 rpm, then it's an incredibly poorly designed system. While it might be acceptable for a 1/4 mile track car, that is a ridiculous amount of turbo lag for a street or road course vehicle. Further, relying upon a single pressure sensor to control a water injection system is a certain recipe for a catastrophic failure. RPM mapping also prevents water from getting injected at low speeds where is could cause a hydro-lock.

[@michaelblacktree]

I think the Snow Performance kit can be considered as a "starter kit" for water/meth injection. They give you a simple controller, just to get you started. But as mentioned above, a better controller would be ideal. I think some aftermarket ECUs can do that.

[@EDesigns_FL]

@@michaelblacktree That's a kind way to describe it, but, at the price it's being sold for, I would use slightly harsher adjectives. The first water injection system I used was an Edlbrock Vara-jection and it was far more capable then the Snow, and was a fraction of the price. Aquamist probably makes the best system now. Snow had to have paid this YT'er, because there is no way that he doesn't appreciate how bad their injection system is.

Most E46 setups use a front-mount intercooler, so intake temps shouldn't be an issue. If you have access to E85, that will help control knock. So you don't really need water/methanol injection.

[@holycrossgleam777]

I think EGR system will be great on meth water fuel injection Just a though 😊

[@scottc74]

Just fyi, as far as I know, your O2 sensor reads O2 which is a result of Lambda. It doesn’t know or care what type of fuel you’re running, it reads how far you are from Lambda. The A/F reading is just a calculation for gasoline. It’s probably less confusing to set your gauge to display Lambda.

[@benedictgoodman3995]

Awesome video as always, d4a. You’re one of my favorite KZbinrs. I was wondering, is there any way to run water+methanol injection on an n/a setup and see a substantial increase in power (10-30%)? It seems like you’d be able to have stupid advanced timing on an engine that can handle the pressure, considering there’s extra cooling and no boost. (So small chance of knock.) The reason I ask is for under $1000 and straight forward installation, this would be a great mod before adding a turbo. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

[@d4a]

Thank you for the kind words. The deal with NA engines is that most of them are not knock limited, and increasing timing further beyond max power usually leads to power loss rather than knock. It's usually only very high compression ratio NA engines that run a significant risk of knock. So, in general, water meth injection will not yield significant power increase with an NA engine. It's a good idea if high octane gas isn't available or in extremely hot climates and to keep the internals clean but it won't allow for big power gains because there's no boost or timing to be increased. The only time when water-methanol can get power on NA is if the engine knocks before optimal ignition timing, but in that case, water meth is just a band-aid rather than the solution to the root cause.

[@mariabarbarapereiranascime1592]

Was just look at this kit online..

[@oikkuoek]

An issue with this system: The spray pattern. When any liquid is "Atomized" especially in pressurized environment, more pressure extends the liquid form of matter, the system needs a pressure chamber i.e fuel rail, where the pump feeds the liquid and the liquid pressure can be regulated. Then the actual mist feed into the intake is done with solenoid, fast moving electro magnetic valve. This way you'll have regulated amount of mist with no droplets that can damage your engine. If you simply hose your liquid inside your engine, the mist turns into squirt when the pump shuts off, or turns on. Depending on your boost pressure, you'll then have 60% or less actual mist, and rest of the feed is still liquid. This is especially bad when you are at your target boost level and your revs are high. The engine is using a lot of air, so your intake contents are used fast, while most of the pump offerings is liquid due to high pressure. Yes, the possibility for the liquid to vaporize while hitting your intake valve is high, but also the liquid getting inside your combustion chamber is at it's highest. The silliest thing to do is dump a fortune into your rotating assembly and then kill it with a cheap garden hose system.

Why is it ok to inject before the roots supercharger? It seems it would be better to cool the charge AFTER the supercharger has compressed/heated the air than before. I live in the desert driving a Mini R53 and WMI seems like a perfect fit in this environment.

[@michaelblacktree]

The water/meth mixture helps to fill the gaps between the rotors and the casing, which slightly improves the blower efficiency. Plus it provides some cooling for the blower. That said, with some blowers the coating on the rotors can't handle fuel or other chemicals. So it's a good idea to check on that.

Does this have any measurable effect without forced induction?

[@DaveFromColorado]

I've heard of a lot of people using just water injection.... how do you feel about that, and could you help explain the benefits and setbacks of using just water over water / methanol injection?

[@d4a]

I did in the previous video

[@DaveFromColorado]

@@d4a ... for some odd reason thought I had already watched it ... whether or not I did is a moot point, I will go back and watch it again.

will the vapor affect the map sensor ?

[@flyonbyya]

Although the relative location and distance of the nozzle is important… How about the angle of discharges impact on cylinder to cylinder distribution?

I have a mechanical diesel, can I do boost based method kit?

[@liamjackson4454]

What intercooler are you using, I’m planning a similar build and in need of an intercooler

The hills are beautiful to ride, where is this?

Bosnia

@@d4a Never knew it was this nice, I'll put it on my holiday list. This year Czech republic, Hungary and Romania, hopefully the next year Bosnia.

Is it worth to install this kit in order to just keep engine clean? I have ea113 engine with enough power but want to keep it without carbon deposits

[@arlokkkk]

Thanks for the video but is it better to just get a flex fuel sensor and go e85? Please advise. Thanks

This works for disels too right?

[@user-gr8ko2bu4w]

what would this do for my 7.3 diesel power stroke

[@collinclay3803]

How would the setup be modified for a engine with dual throttle bodies or even ITB’s? I have a vq37vhr that I would like to boost. Seeing as you can’t spray directly into the turbo/centrifugal SC my assumption is that you would somehow need to split the line and plug it into both of the intake pipes? Is this the best way to go about it or is there another solution that would work better? Any ideas would be appreciated!! I live in texas where ambient temps easily reach 40c in the summer time and this system would be a huge benefit for my future build projects!

[@datorr7470]

I plan on endurance racing my audi with 1.8t. Intake is right next to turbo and well, hot air. So i have been thinking of this setup after the intercooler. How long does this setup last time wise?

[@johnnyappleseed9254]

They recommend the tank and pump be installed below the intake manifold to insure there isn’t any gravity fed leaking of fluid into engine, correct? I have tried calling tech support at Snow performance but they were completely unhelpful. Well, they did say the kit with a solenoid could be installed either way but didn’t explain why. Im assuming the solenoid acts as a valve to stop fluid from free flowing and that’s why it can be installed either way, whereas, the kits without a solenoid have to be installed as shown in your video to avoid leaking. I just ordered mine yesterday so I’m trying to familiarize myself as much as possible with all of this before diving into the install. Thanks

I ordered the stage 2.5 diesel universal kit
