Alky + additives injection

1st engine on progress...
Most of the driving is on part throttle or not on boost. Using high octane gas or octane boosters are waste most of the time engine is running. Alky injection is great since it allows you to drive low octane gas and gives "additional octanes" and cooling when needed.
Has enyone tried to combine alky and other additives like octane booster, toluene, acetone, etc. ?

I think this would be the most economical way to have high octane fuel when you need it.

I think the pump used in the Aquamist system requires a lubricant additive to prolong the life of the pump. Not needed w/the Razor kit. 100% meth all day and she's happy.

Windshield washer fluid?

You could run windshield washer fluid in a pinch but you need to run the expensive winter blend and make sure it doesn't have any detergents or anything in it. Check your local race shop and you should be able to pick up 100% methanol for ~$2.25/gal which is usually cheaper than what you can buy the washer fluid for and you know you got 100% methanol then. Tune it once for that and no variances between brands and what not.

Just call around to your local speed shops and alternative fuel places and you should be able to buy it in any quantity you want. If not, you can always buy a barrel and have it shipped. It will last you a LONG time even if you run a lot of methanol. I find that a gallon of meth will last me at least a tank of gas. That's WAY cheaper than race gas no matter how you slice it.

Re: Alky + additives injection

If you cant find meth around your area. (like me..I've asked everyone around here and no one has it.

) Go to Wal-mart and get the stuff called HEET. 100% meth but it gets kinda pricy when you buy all of it in the store. (Its in the Yellow bottle not the red!!!!) I think its like $87 a bottle. Might be cheaper. I think I got a buy 1 get 1 free thing in IN when I picked my truck up. That saved some money.

I've got (3) gallon jugs filled with it right now in my garage for when ever I need it. With the lube mixxed in already. (I have the SMC kit

Re: Alky + additives injection

Klotz fuel lube by Uplon is the lube that mixes with fuel.

I too run the yellow bottles of HEET.
There is 4 to go packs here for $2, thats $.50 a btl.

I haven't got to drive it enough this year to justify buying a whole gallon at once...
Maybe next year.

100% denatured alky mixed with a bit of Klotz lube. Works like a champ :tup:

Re: Alky + additives injection

Go to a hardware store and find some denatured alcohol in the paint aisle. It runs $10-12/gallon though. Bulk at a Paint store should be less.

I use straight meth in my WRX, and have had great results...requires a lot of tuning though.
I was running a 50/50 alky/H2O mix for a while and it worked just as good.

I burn through a gallon every month and I have 2.0 liter...The Ty will be next...

My bud with a buick has injected everything imaginable in his GNX; water, ethanol, methanol, straight octane boost, tuolene, xylene, etc. He says everything has worked with no issues. It's all about heat absorption...that's why he sticks with water now. NACA wasn't stupid.

Re: Alky + additives injection

Yup, SLX Denatured Alky - about $10 at the hardware store. I used to mix with H2O as well and it makes things rust...so now it's straight alky. Xylene, Torco, or race fuel go in the fuel tank :cool:
