Water Injection
So what do you guys put in your reservoir? Just water? I heard a 25% alcohol mixture is good since it evaporates well. If so what alcohol can you use? Rubbing alcohol from the store?

Re: Water Injection (Kack)
I'm new here - but thinking about purchasing a GSR and turbocharging it. I currently have an MR2 and use water injection.
I've tried all distilled water, a 50/50 mix of water and denatured alcohol, and all alcohol. On my car, it already runs rich, and I get best results with straight water. If you are running somewhat lean a 50/50 mix is a good place to start. Methanol is probably best, but denatured is almost as good (and can be purchased at local hardware stores). Make sure the setup you are using (pump, seals etc) can handle the alcohol.
BTW - is there an FAQ about turbocharging Integras? Thanks!
