Is there some reason more people here aren't running methanol/water injection?

Default Is there some reason more people here aren't running methanol/water injection?

I've been reading about this and for 400 bucks it's a nice safety net to run higher boost. Also does anyone know if it would be more advantagous to run nozzles to each runner as opposed to misting before the tb?

well i've never used water injection before...but to answer your question about where to spray. i'm guessing it's for a more even distribution between the cylinders.
if it's sprayed before the TB...there's no way of telling which cylinder gets what amount.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I've seen some kits where there is only one nozzle before the tb. No biggie though, I have no issues with drilling my intake runners.

on the spearco injection system, it specifically says to inject it before the TB. don't ask why. it should be similar to a NOS kit.

I'd love to get sleeves, but if I go the resleeve route, I'm going for 2.2 liters (godzilla sleeves + deck plate+ longer rods) and that'll prolly be around 2k. However as a grad student all my cash flow is all negative right now and that's just not in the budget. 350 though is way more manageable kind of
