Default Water Methanol Injection System Installation Guide

For those of you who may be interested in installing a Water Methanol Injection System, I have prepared an article that appears in http://www.audipages.com/upgrades/WM...emArticle.html.

My thanks to Paul for hosting this article.

I already read your write up on AudiPages...PaulW brought to our attention over on QW...Very cool and well written, sir.

On another subject from a past thread: Have you tried recoding your trans to 00032 = sport PLUS control of 1st gear in tip mode ?

Not only holding 1st to redline (or user shift) in tip mode, but gaining the ability to downshift to 1st anywhere within it's speed range is an addictive function.
Being able to use this at will (not just the inconvenient occasional downshift to 1st with the kick-down switch at extreme slow speed...hard to control and unpredictable) awakens a monster, esp during lower speed cornering.
Once you've tried it, you'll never go back

A great guide, but I have to wonder to what purpose on a Naturally Aspirated motor. Where is the 20bhp coming in.. that seems overly optimistic.

I have Water Meth Injection on my 440bhp BiTurbo S4, my install used the windscreen washer tank so was very easily installed. As this was a boosted car I set it to come on above 6psi boost.. as there was no point below. Which where an A8/S8 is the whole time, no forced induction!

Naturally aspirated motor at about 310hp expected without tuning and using water methanol should yield about ten percent increase. So being conservation rather than saying 30hp I believe that a 20hp increase is achieved. I chose not to use the windscreen washer tank for other than its intended use and to be more discrete with the installation. I am using a 50/50 solution. I control when the extra boost is needed with the use of separate switches.

The "accounts" system over there seems to not be working. I haven't been able to recover my account or update. The SysAdmin functions don't seem to work lately.

I used the wayback machine and saved the writeup as a PDF.
Pics are included.
Enjoy.
