Found This Pre-Turbo Water-Meth Device

I thought this was interesting:

http://killerbeeperformance.com/indu...cooling/i-fog/

There is a pretty good document on the website about it, attempting to debunk many of the arguments people have made on the Internet against pre-turbo injection.

I thought an interesting experiment would be to use this device between stages in a compound set up, since there is typically no intercooling between stages.

That's a really interesting article, very informative. Thanks for sharing!

I've been thinking of getting into Water-Meth since I added the EFI. With the extra added power, I'm seeing higher EGTs than before with the little Banks tuner - especially in the 100*+ Oklahoma summer weather. I've yet to do any research on the subject, but those numbers contained within the attached PDF are VERY tempting.

Would this replace conventional water-methanol injection systems that have to be permanently attached to the engine? I get a little nervous when it comes to any kind of permanent modification. Especially something that can't be ordered from a shop that specializes in that kind of work.

I'm not sure I would call it a permanent modification.

One installs the methanol injection nozzles in the intake track at the airhorn… And most aftermarket airhorns already have 1/8 inch NPT holes for things such as these.

If you wanted to remove the standard methanol injection then you could merely install 1/8 inch plugs.

What interested me the most in the writing was not only the debunking of common beliefs, but that injecting pre-turbo can change the turbo map - making the smaller turbo operate like a bigger one.
