I was wondering if its possible to use octane booster fluid for Alcohol Inj instead of Alcohol?
Would it have the same effect or make things worse?

Thanks!

good question... insnt octane boost supoose to be mixed with a full tank of gass? i dunno

Yes octane boosters are meant to go in the fuel tank e.g. a bottle of octane booster mixed up with the whole fuel tank.

But if used in the pure (concentrated) form, by pouring directly into alcohol injection tank, without any mixing, would it do the same as alcohol???

i don't think so, cause octane booster only raiser the octane in about .xx and alcohol raises it complete points,a nd isnt octane booster toulene?

octane booster is expensive as hell compared to a good alcohol fuel... i pay $15 for a full 5 gallon drum of methanol, works great... just use that..

Well that makes sense (depending upon the availability). Do you use methanol in its pure form? or a 50/50 mixture with water?

just use it straight....it's pretty cheap

where do you get your drum of methanol at........... is there anything else that we can run in it that we can get from any regular store

Where the hell do you buy it that cheap? I buy denatured wood alcohol from home depot for like $3.99 a gallon!

BTW: jwcardy if you read the back label of a can of denatured alcohol it says it is a clean burning fuel......contenets: methanol. So its the same stuff you just pay more for it.

Running it straight will just raise combustion chamber/ Exhaust gas temps and take away all the good efects of methanol injection. Read the High Performance Honda Builder's Handbook by Joe Pettitt. He explains in detail water/methanol injection. Also he explains every aspect of turbocharging a honda engine. Its a great read and you can pick it up for about $20.

so, how should u mix it ?

I know that 50/50 is safe I heard 60/40 some-where but I never tried that..... Too much water wont hurt the engine but it will hurt performance. Too much alcohol will still stop detonation but produces too many BTU's and can cause hot spots.

yeah, i've always been wery on injecting water into the combustion chambers.

Does this apply to alcohol too?

People have been using straight water for years. mixing alcohol w/ the water just helps you gain back any power your loosing from the water while stopping detonation. Alcohol releases more BTU's than gasoline when it burns so too much is bad.........50/50 should be fine.
