Your adding methanol/water together your not adding 100% of one or the other. 100% water would quence the flame but no kit manufacturer or any person would recommend doing so. On the other hand 100% methanol would not only over advance timing but would probably blow your engine up, again no one advising to do so.Mach1 said:I agree with alot of what you are saying..Yes I agree normal combustion=H2O..Ok so now you want to go and add more?
So you are saying that there is no point where too much water is bad for the engine? Can we add gallons and gallons, since more is better, alot must be even better.
You didn't address the Meth extending the burn dwell on my diesel. Over advancing the burn???
Dont they have a new process of bending metal using hydroforming, which when it first appeared, it was actually damaging the metal with stress factures because the process wasn't controlled.
BTW, you can actually quence the flame on a compression ignition engine by inducing TOO MUCH water to the CC.
Theres a happy medium, I have heard 13%meth by volume as a good start. This percentage has reached a concensus of keeping timing relatively the same but still seeing the benefits of WMI.
Your not flooding your engine with WMI. Sure you can go through gallons of methanol/water mixes over the course of using WMI, but those gallons were used over a long time, lots of strokes of the pistons, lots of fuel being used.
Water injection is simple yet very effective. Its benefits are somewhat unbelievable due to its simplicity but they are very real. The internals of an engine that was running on WMI vrs. the internals of an engine that was not would be significantly different. There would be no comparison.
