I know 100% methanol 'can' be slightly corrosive but it wouldn't say it's highly corrosive. 50/50 water-meth comes out as a mist and is vaporized almost instantly cooling the charge. But I understand your concern..but to me it's really a non-concern. LS guys have been running 100% meth no problems!

Do you know what your peak boost pressure will be and do you know exactly how effective the water/meth injection will be at lowering charge temps ?
Also does your ECU tuning have a fail safe tune for when the water/meth injection runs out of liquid or pump/injector failure because they do ?

I dont know the max boost but i think over 2bar.
The meth system dont need be integrated in software at the moment.
Fuel is not the problem.

Are they not tuning for the fact that the water/meth is an added fuel and not just a charge cooler.

Who is doing the tuning on your car ?

Thanks capristo

I had my custom made downpipes with heat protection. The rest of exhaust is currently stock. I like it because its not too loud.

I think with your quest for speed it would be worth going with aftermarket wheels to both widen your track and reduce weight.

HRE P101's in those same sizes for example, would come in at sub 9 kg (20 lbs) for the fronts and 10 kg (22.2 lbs) for the rear. That's a rotational weight saving of 9.5 kg (21 lbs) which is equivalent to taking 33.3 kg (73.5 lbs) out of the vehicle.

Thank you
Yes, a meth kit is always a good solution. It protects the engine and always keeps it clean.
