Has anybody heard of alcohol injection????

[angelo_t]

having this installed in my Hlux, will this really improve my hp and fuel consumption?has anybody tried this?

Yeap can burn holes in pistons and make aluminum porous.

Most people mix water and methanol.

Not much use in a standard engine.

The main advantage was that if you were running high boost and used water and methanol injection you could run a higher compression and more timing advance to stop pinging.

Water and methanol injection is old school now.

I've read a bunch of write ups on this type of system as installed on trucks in the US like F250's, Rams, GM 2500's etc.

The main company which is used is Snow Performance

No personal experience with this type of system, but it is supposed to dramatically drop intake temps from the intertcooler, and pretty massively reduce exhaust temperatures... could be a good thing if your towing.

Good luck with the install, keep us updated on how it goes.

My missus got a bottle of that rare breed as well as some top shelf vodka for her 21st(almost 2years ago) and she wont let me open either of them... I haven't tried WT rare breed, maybe i should. I do love the premixed stuff.
