It works no matter what your setup because it cools intake temps, creates denser air, it is usually used for boosted/high comp motors to help with detonation. But no matter what the setup it works.

You can make your own by using windshield washer fluid and a product called Kleen. Google how to make methanol. It's actually very simple.

I also have some questions about water/meth injection, i have a turbo gsr making 300 whp and wondering if i could push the envelope to 400 with some water/meth injection? ive been exploring E85 but my car is old and i've seen what it does when it starts cleaning your fuel system out and i don't want to bugger up my fuel system.

With my Talon I gained roughly 28hp with methanol. I have seen some SRT-4's gain 40-50hp with it. But if you are NA, gains won't really be that much, IMO it's not worth it unless you are boosted.

WhitriceGSR, I don't know how honda's respond, but I would say 20-30hp increase on a really good tune.

I'm running a stock usdm b18c1 and really wanna push it to the max without building it, any other ideas or suggestions. Also wondering what brands i should be looking at and the cost of the methanol and availability itself. I have heard of a guy making 460 rwhp on a stock sr20 block with a meth injection which is what really got me curious and i'd like to see if any turbo honda guys have experimented trying to get up to 400 on a stock block.

I have never used on a Honda but did have it on my SC corvette... I gained 50WH just with adding meth.. i was able to lean out the car more and add 2 more degrees of timing

it's like running race gas all the time...

thats what i needed to hear, ive been looking at kits anywhere between 200 - 400 bucks, what kind did u use. And dirtyDA9 i no longer have my washer fluid bottle as i had to make room for intercooler piping, i will google how to make methanol right now but will a washer fluid pump and bottle have the required capacity and pressure?

If I remember right it was a Snow performance kit but I am not 100% sure... I used my Washerfluid res.. it was nice cause I would get a light when it was low... and you can use washer fluid as it's usually 50% meth

check this

I mixed the washer fluid with HEET, you are supposed to mix the washer fluid with heet before using it. Just buy another washer fluid reservior and pump.


Buy these:

ShurFlo Pump (adjustable peak flow pressure via allen screw)

Hobbs switch (controls activation via boost: Its adjustable!!!!!!!)

McMaster and Carr nozzles, Catalog page 1898 - 1901
www.mcmaster.com
#'s GPH@40psi GPH@100psi
3178K81 0.63 1.0
3178K82 1.26 2.0
3178K83 1.90 3.0
3178K84 2.53 4.0
3178K85 3.16 5.0
3178K86 6.32 10.0
3178K87 9.49 15.0
(nickle plated nozzles are best)

A few screwclamps and possibly a tank if you don't tap your existing windshield wiper reservoir

The key is activation point and choosing the proper nozzle flow. Activate the hobbs switch at a boost level that will allow the pump to flow enough injection yet will not bog the engine. This takes time to get down.

$160 total including shipping. Add the cost of hose, clamps and fittings. You're still probably under $180. And the setup works for years. . .

For the longest time I didn't even run a solenoid valve, I just ran a check valve. It did good. But got clogged over time running meth (ate away at the rubber hose). A good fuel filter (that can handle the psi) just before the check valve really helped this. So you can subtract the cost of a $35 solenoid. the check valve I got was around 10 bones.
