I will be getting some for the next pod run ill give my intercooler a good spray of it just befor i run should be nice and cold charge temps then 8)

Isn't that CO2? Hope you plant a couple of trees for each run :-D

It is defo Co2. I used to run a spray bar. But i pulled it a long time ago. The bert place for water or meth is in the engine by far. Lots of people that are scared or know little about this. But its the way to a safer more powerful motor

I agree with you on that scott - I have looked into the cyro kit for my top mount but to be honest it is throwing good money to try and fix a problems that would be solved by a front mount. Water/Meth Inj would make it even better if mapped for it too

Do you think i should just use water and forget the meth to the mix?? whats your honests thoughts i only want to use for cooling, i will do some data logging with and without it running and look to make it a fair test as possible by doing the test on a day with the temps being the same and go for the same run etc.

I would stick to water tbh. The cost of methanol is quite steep. Also you need a licence to store and sell it. ITs hard to get hold of these days.
Methanol will damage your intercooler core. It will attack aluminum. ITs is also very flamable.
As i said if you decide to use meth call me and i will sort you a price.
