Great content and well explained. How about any possibility of rust inside the engine since water is sprayed eg valves, pistons, piston rings? Does it get rust afer few years of using wmi kit?
All of this is happening at hundreds of miles per hour inside the charge air system, I have yet to see a real world example of rusting! I assume it does not sit there long enough to oxidise
One thing that has me a little nervous about WMI kits is ensuring there is an equal allocation of function/effect across all cylinders. How well do these injectors atomize, and what location is best for integration to ensure appropriate mix before it hits the cylinders. I know this is a RS3, and I drive a G80CXD, but similar risks across any platform, and IM considering building out an RS3 as well. So Im appreciating these vids.
Spraying 6-8 inches before the throttle body gives you optimal atomisation across all 5 cylinders. When we see setups spraying after the throttle body we notice more knock corrections in cylinder 5 which tells us that all 5 cylinders are not getting an even mixture
Running pure methanol doesn’t have many gains over running 50:50. I’ve done a lot of tests on this. Pure meth does not cool as well as 50:50. The difference is negligible power wise. Meth is highly flammable and burns invisible, so I don’t like advising people to run pure methanol. Especially on road cars! Some people run pure methanol as they’ve ran out of injector on their car so they use it to add more fuel to the car.
I have a 2018 TTRS as my daily and had a generic stage 1+tune with absolutely mental bangs that sounded incredible. Took it for a stage 2 map at MRC and told them I wanted to keep the short but super loud pops and bangs wen exhaust open(or in dynamic) and they confirmed possible. Wen picking up car and driving it home the pops and bangs were so soft I felt truly gutted. Called them up the next day and they basically said we only use oem pops and bangs and nothing harder than this. I asked them why and they said because of fuel consumption. I said I don’t care about fuel consumption and asked to have the more aggressive pops & bangs but they confirmed they would not give me what I wanted. Cars drives great but doesn’t feel much if any quicker than the stage 1+ I had. But really more gutted about the pops being so tame now. Would bring it to you but I live in devon I own my own garage by the way but not a specialist on these.
Give us a call. We can tune this car remotely for you and put our engine safety algorithms in place along with map switching, rolling launch control and switchable pops and bangs. We use a really special strategy for our pops and bangs which is why they sound very different from any other 5 cylinder tuner. We offer a 30 day money back guarantee on our software, if you are not happy in any way shape or form, we will refund you over the phone. We are that confident 😊
I just want super loud bangs unlike most maps. Not sure why they were so loud before and not now? Could this have something to do with the turbo wastegate now being “more closed” so less noisy? Or the exhaust flaps not opening fully? Felt like flames we’re coming out before.
@@tdg176I can’t comment on someone else’s tune as they would be using a totally different strategy than ours, but what I can guarantee is that we can give you exactly what you’re after 🤓
@@InfinitPerformancek interested. Currently got 4 maps low boost , 99 ron map, octane booster map and immobilizer map. Would it be possible to keep one or two or 3 of the current tunes I have but with your loud pop map also? And how is this done remotely?
@@tdg176we don’t edit anyone else’s tune, but we can offer you the same - Immobiliser map 97 octane map / stock map 99 octane map 99 octane map + octane booster Our map switching is also a bit easier and through the cruise control stick instead of the brake pedal. You will not be disappointed! Tuning is done via either an Android device or any laptop running windows. Process takes 20 minutes!
Well, very nice video mate. I've seen it 3 times in general but it's time to ask you something. I want to use methanol for fuel at my 1.8 ea888gen3 is38 car. What's the best mixture for power gains?
If you read the labels on your average blue windshield washer fluids, it's 50% methanol and 50% water. You would still use it to clean your windshield as per normal.
You are correct, blue windscreen washer fluid (not concentrate, only ready mix) has atleast 40% methanol in it. You can run that in your water methanol injection system. It is not not as ‘neat’ as a pure 50/50 home brew water methanol mix but it does the job and doesn’t cause any ill effects. The blue dye is also useful as it can show you if you have any leaks in your system :)
Pretty good gains is that anout 12% increase on stock power? So with the meth added and mapped in does intake temperatures stay the same as stock temperatures or with meth and more boost does it run cooler than stock temperatures

The blue dye is also useful as it can show you if you have any leaks in your system :) We fit the pump in the engine bay as that gives us a stealth install with nothing visible inside the car. No ugly pumps or meth tanks in the boot where it would usually be located.
@@InfinitPerformance so this must be UK specific, in most EU countries methanol concentration in windscreen washer fluid is much less than 40%, some countries allow only 5-10% or its entirely banned
It is a byproduct of the water methanol injection kit, you are now spraying a fuel into the engine that the engine is not accommodating for therefore some of it gets burned off in the exhaust in certain situations like overrun when you lift off the throttle :)
Sorry if the question is already asked, if you spray the meth mix from the wiper reservoir onto the windscreen, would that be safe ? Getting some meth onto the windscreen
The WMI sprays in all maps, but the ECU does not allow map 4 to be used if the WMI is not spraying. We monitor the combustion process in all maps and if it is not optimal, it will kick you out of the map. This goes for all maps. Map 3 for example is for 99 octane, if you use 97 or 95 octane it will kick you out of map 3.
I keep getting impressed the more I learn about Gt-Flashers. BTW I'm Paul E. from FB. I just messaged you the other day about VP racing Super Sauce the green E85 stuff. One more question if I may? Do you use AEM over Snow because of preference or is AEM a better WMI kit? Thank You for answering my noobie questions.@@InfinitPerformance
@@leosrule5412 aem is the simplest kit to install and setup and never, ever gives us any issues. Over 150 kits installed over the last 5 years and never had a single issue. This is why we use AEM!
Ethanol runs a lot cooler, but an e20/25 mix is pretty low so it would still be pretty beneficial. I would imagine you are running that low of a mix as you have either ran out of injector or fuel pump flow. In which case you would benefit from meth as it is another fuel source for the engine so will allow you to run a tiny bit more boost and definitely more ignition. But remember to have failsafes in place!
Is the map 4 safety function only available for the rs3 5 pot vehicles or are you also introducing this feature in maps for the gen3 ea888 with water/meth?
We are working on it for the 4 cylinder platform, is this something you would be interested in if we were to make it? We have map switching available for the Ea888 but have not introduced safeties just yet!
Water has a higher octane than methanol as it doesn’t ignite & absorbs more heat by volume than methanol but it evaporates a LOT slower than methanol hence why you use methanol
A few points here that I didn’t actually speak about in the video about why we use 50:50 water methanol. You are correct, waters octane content is infinite. Because it can not ignite. However keep in mind as water does not ignite it cannot be used as an energy source inside the cylinder, you are now filling the cylinder with something that can not make any energy. All the water can do is is raise the effective octane level inside the cylinder via the thermodynamic process that takes place. With methanol, as it is a fuel that has a higher octane content it can create energy :) Water can also freeze in cold climates which would be far from ideal to run in a car.
@@InfinitPerformance that’s right tho pure water will allow for more ignition, plus run leaner with more boost than with methanol but your need a system with multiple smaller nozzles & failsafe to run it in those conditions not something I’d be doing on AEM’s basic nozzle options and push fits. 👍🏻
@@Boostaddicts_YTprecisely :) for that type of port meth setup I’d be looking into a different setup with AN fittings! Port meth injection does have less of a cooling effect though and usually the applications for port meth injection are when people need more fuelling! Tuning for pure water is also extremely tricky which I have seen very few master, as yes you get to increase the ignition but again you need to play with lambda to get more power out of the car.
