By "w/m inj kit" I assume you mean a water/methanol injection kit. Methanol is one type of alcohol. So a "w/m inj kit" is the same thing as an "alcohol inj kit". For 600rwhp I recommend pure 100 (motor) octane unleaded race fuel. A "w/m inj kit" should work fine too, as long as it's properly installed, well maintained, and regularly tested. If the turbo you choose is capable of more than 600rwhp (which I hope it is not), your boost control will have to be rock-solid. Again, you don't want the soap and the bug-melting chemicals in windshield washer fluid running through your w/m inj pump or your engine. I recommend 90% alcohol/methanol, and 10% water for your optimal horsepower & octane boost. 60% water & 40% alcohol is cheaper, of course and perhaps slightly higher in pure octane boost. However, octane does not = horsepower. You loose too many BTUs of heat with 60% water...and therefore too much horsepower is lost along with that reduction in heat! 60/40 might be fine for some ricer honduh or 'billy rustang owner (no offense) trying to put a hitch in his giddyap, but for an Mkiv Supra Turbo running 25psi+ of boost, it just isn't anywhere near optimal.

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners. Last edited by pwpanas; 07-30-2011 at 11:56 AM. |
