Heys guys, just wanted to know if any of you has been using toluene as octane booster for a long time without any trouble in the evo. All we have in our counry is 90 RON, which is a death sentence for my evo. So need to do something about the fuel. Thinking of mixing 20% toluene. Will it damage anything? Sorry if this is a repost. Thanks for the help.

 

I used xylene for about a year and a half with no problems.

 

I know a guy who died breathing it in. Not only get you stoned but dead too! he spilled some in his shop and ignored (or got too stoned to care) ventilating it out of his shop. found dead on floor. carfull now

 

I used it, no problems so far. you will need to add a something as a lube for it like trans fluid.

 

Yup, it is toxic, but they use it in paints too. I didnt know it was so poisonous. Will be using in small amounts, so shouldnt be a prob, I think. Only thing is, is it bad for the car?

 

I have run 25% toluene and it didnt seem to hurt anything.

 

He either spilled a LOT of it in an airtight room, or he was really enjoying his experience inhaling it. Enough toluene in the air to kill you would have to be A TON, and you'd know good and well to get out of there if you valued your life (besides the fact that your eyes and other mucous membranes would be pretty pissed off as well).

 

dude, just go water injection.

 

Feel Sorry for him tho.

 

Aquamist or coolingmist? Does it work well? I hear that it reduces the intake air temp. so as to reduce the knock levels...right? The intercooler spray already does some of this job...but not enough i guess.

 

depends on your budget.....if you can, for sure the aquamist.

 

here is the aquamist setup. just need to add a water tank

 

Did some research. Can anyone give me a 'how to' on the aquamist setup. I want to keep the car stock, just want optimum engine performance given the abysmal octane rating we have. Also, does WI need major ECU tuning? coz here we dont have such opportunity. I will need a DIY on this matter.
