Can you run E85 gasohol and water in the water tank??

not sure Paul. Gas and water generally don't mix, so that would be an issue I think.

I've used methanol and ethanol with great results.

Anything wrong with using rubbing alcohol here??

Stuff used to be dirt cheap in the little quart bottles on sale..

one could "tip the tank" with water when running E85 but the E85 is allready 104 octane so you can run serioud boost on an engine like that so im not sure youd really need the water, an air/ari IC would work better in that app.

the germans ran a mix of 50/50 water and methanol (MW50 they called it- for methanol und wasser) on the boosted ww2 fighterplanes.. so half and half cant be way off! (2200 cui v12, 40-50 pounds of boost and NOS! now thats an engine)

(the import guys here run washerfluid on their hondas and bmw's btw.. so as long as it only contails demineralized water and possibly some alcohol content you should be fine)

Just thought I would share,
Cooling mist veriCool2 system has some VERY bad reviews by a friend of mine.

He used the system and it ended up with a blown motor and a trashed turbo. The style injector that came with the system came apart and went through the motor and out the exhaust. It damaged his motor and destroyed the turbine wheel.

I don't know all the details of the install.

I've heard good things about AquaMist tho

I've got the Devils Own progressive setup on my Procharged 468. I'm running a mixture of Winshield washer fluid and VEET right now per Devil's Own and I am running the dual nozzle setup as well with no Intercooler.

Welcome to the Club!!! :cheers:

Just my $.02 -
If you get the windshield washer fluid, which will be a combo of water and methanol, shake it to make sure it doesn't foam up real bad (which means lots of detergents - BAD).

I believe most of the time the cheapest stuff you can get is the most "pure" from a water / methanol standpoint. Also, pay attention to the temp rating. Most will say -20 deg.. THe lower the temp., the more the % of methanol! If you can stay consistent with the temp rating your tune will be more consistent as well. I think for winter, some stores will carry a more aggresive blend, but it might dissappear in the warm summer months, so you may need to think ahead on that deal.

BTW, for learning more and asking specific questions, Devil's Own has a nice little forum where their gurus hang around and answer questions etc. pretty much exclusively about water injection. There's other forms of transportation on there as well, like a turbocharged snowmobile with alky injection :unibrow:

I put the Devils Own boost switch activated kit on my car just recently and haven't had the chance to drive it yet. Seems like a nice quality kit. But, I added a water pressure switch in line as well to give a "pressure fault" Light in the dash if something were to go wrong (blown line, no water,etc)- it's also hooked up to my ignition box high speed timing retard so that it pulls timing (whatever I set in the box) when a pressure fault is realized (or if the system is disarmed via the dash switch). Its the only way I could think of to help protect my blow thru vortech supercharged application.

Good luck!

that is basically the system i am building. I have the benifit of a MoTeC ecu, so I can control timing and spray with that. I am also installing a pressure sensor connected to an LED and an LED that turns on simply when the pump is on.

I am using the Devil's own pump.

I dont really know why people would use washer fluid...? I just use RO water and methanol. I see no reason to run detergent through the motor. someone know something i dont?
