Combining Methanol Injection With Air To Air Intercooler

It’s a well know fact that when working with forced induction applications, the key to making horsepower safely is in keeping the air temperatures as cool as possible. It’s no secret a cooler denser air charge will produce more power and will help eliminate engine knock. Aka detonation. Because most air to air systems are generally only 60-75% efficient. By combining water methanol injection with a highly efficient air to air intercooler, nearly all the remaining heat left over after the intercooler can be reduced. In addition, users will also receive a substantial octane enhancement further protecting their engine.

Can I use Intercooler Spray Bar?

Absolutely. The goal is to achieve the lowest air charge temperatures possible. Devices such as an intercooler spray bar also know as a intercooler chiller work to help improve the air to air intercooler efficiency by spraying a fine mist of either co2 or nitrous oxide on the outside of the intercooler. While water methanol injection works from within the intercooler piping attacking the hot air directly.

Can Water Injection Be Used As Intercooler Chiller.

Yes, you can arrange the nozzles to spray directly on the outside of your intercooler in which it would be performing as an intercooler chiller. However, it is much more effective by placing the nozzles inside the intercooler piping after the intercooler allowing the water methanol mixture to mix with the incoming air charge. Not only will it perform as a coolingmist, it will also act as an octane enhancer. This is an added plus which a intercooler spray bar does not offer.
