    I chose methanol injection and 93 octane. There is no dependable e85 near me. But i have run e85. Once i found out the variables of e85 i went methanol. Much simpler and you know what your getting everytime.

      So for future reference I can do E85 and then 93 together? Or use both of them of which is available to me while riding? And another thing, what do I put in the AEM kit? Is it a certain fluid I put in there while I’m running either gasoline?

    AWESOME educational video!!! I learned so much, and helped me solidify my decision to plan a water-methanol system instead of the E50-E85, also because I live in Canada's west coast, there are few fuelling stations with E85. Thanks again!

    You only use W/M when you're on boost vs e85 at all times.
    You must have a flex fuel kit installed where there's no e85 around or planning to travel or you're stuck. Also is corrosive so you must use "special" injection systems to be compatible and so you gotta buy other parts to support the set up whereas W/M don't, as it's being sprayed from a reservoir not the gas tank.
    E85 gives lots of fuel issues compared to W/M plus e85 sucks in the winter.
    W/M is the way to go, I'm getting a kit for the summer, more convenient, less expensive and meant for daily driving.

      Missing a few points, methanol is corrosive and does also attract water just like E-85. I'm going to be running both for the best of both worlds.

    I have a 98 S366 supra 6spd. Been contemplating which route: E85 or Meth/Water injection. I have two E85 stations near me. My goal is about 650HP. The shop I have in mind estimates about $6500 to fully convert my car to E85 w/ flex fuel (parts and labor). I already have a HKS Vpro, 1000cc injectors, walbro 450 ready to be installed. I just need to purchase a quality meth kit (have the snow performance stage 3 in mind). Other mods I have are Tomei 264 cams, HKS DLI, and the usual bolt ons. What do you recommend? Been in this scene since 2004 and I've heard so many horror stories on meth kits failing...but with technology now, surely fail-safes have improved a lot better?

      I'd go E85 if you have access to it and since you're going to setup flex fuel you won't have to really worry about mixing regular gas with the E85 since if it's setup right the fuel map and boost levels should all adjust accordingly. With an S366, 1000ccs and E85 you should have no problem hitting 650. E85 will help spool up some as well since your exhaust volume will be higher.
      From what I've seen the new meth kits are more reliable than the earlier kits.

    Intercooler or MeOH water injection? What is better? Intercooler works all the time, Methanol water needs careful tuning , correct?

    • @TunerTestDrive
      @TunerTestDrive  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      For any kind of forced induction you should be intercooling the hot charged air. MeOh injection is a way to run more of that cooled charge air (boost) and mitigate the harmful effects of knock/pre-detonation. So the intercooler and MeOh injection serve two different functions.

    is flex fuel the same as e-85? Royal Farms has what they call Flex Fuel 104 I assume 104 is the octane rating which is about what e-85 is supposed to have (105) but I'm not sure I can assume the actual ethanol content. I'm running a full bolt ons Stage 2 Plus 2015 BMW 335i and am thinking about doing a meth kit too, already have the connector on my VRSF charge pipe so I'm set up for it. I do hear that the best set up for my car is running 50/50 meth/water and on a E-20 map if I'm on a stock fuel system. I assume I would need a custom map to really get the benefits of meth though, what do you think?

      flex fuel means ur computer has a flex fuel sensor that can read and analize either e85 or any other octane ur using. 104 octane is GAS not ETHANOL. ur confused bro. E85 is not 104 gas octane although it equals about 105 octance it is NOT GAS ITS ETHANOL. theyre different fuels. u can run 50/50 but plenty run straight M1 which is methanol
