Lightbulb Alcohol Injection

Has anyone done this on an Evo yet. If so, what system and some details needed because I'm thinking about doing this

You can also look into Propane injection, its popular with the 3000gt/stealth and crowd

I would say contact WORKS, they are the only ones that I know of making kits for the EVO.

I posted in a thread on alternative fuels. And any injection kit (there is about a dozen brands) will work on just about any vehicle. You're welcome to pay more for a rebadged kit, hint hint.

"I will be running Methanol/Water injection soon. It's a supplemental system controlled by an AEM EMS to give knock protection, cooling and added fueling. You can run any mixture of methanol with the system you want, but more methanol equals more lubricant (klotz) needed and more maintenance.

It is possible to run straight propane and straight methanol, but it would be a major hastle for the setup and maintenance. Check out Anarky on the supraforums. His Supra is going to run propane for daily driving with throttleless operation, and have methanol for WOT."

"First off, don't pour methanol into your gas tank. The system is a methanol injection system that is very similar to a nitrous oxide system. It injects a fine mist of methanol and water (you pick the percentage) into the intake stream before the thottlebody. The mixture vaporizes and goes into your combustion chambers. There is a second tank (3 gallon), and as I repeat you can run any mixture of alcohol and water you want. You need a lubricant (klotz) added to the methanol to protect various metals. The 50/50 methanol system reduce knock and is the equivalent of running race gas all day long. If you use straight methanol in the system and go for the high flow kit, you can use your stock fuel system and large turbos. The inventor runs a stock fuel system and a T78 turbo.

Forget nitromethane, it's an Evo and I'm sure you haven't maxed out your potential enough to want some crazy science expirement. He's planning on injecting propane (104 octane) and controling it with the AEM EMS. This can also be throttless because more propane equals higher rpms, less equals lower."

nothing. the best place to inject water is about 6 inch before the throtle body i think. but you can inject anywhere that is convenient after the intercooler.
