INCREASING POWER!!! - DIY Water/Methanol Kit - Sketches & MusingssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #cars7 years ago

Hello Folks,

For those of you who have been following my plans to design and build a cheap and stealthy water/methanol injection kit (SH2OMI) for my little Skoda Fabia; I thought I would share a few of my doodlings from my sketch book. PLEASE NOTE: None of these pictures show the definitive and finalized design as yet but will give you guys a heads-up as to my thinking on the project options and direction.

Here's my last posting on the subject: https://steemit.com/cars/@eggmeister/more-power-water-methanol-injection-product-placement

A potential series & parallel schematic of the electrical circuit.

Taking water (& methanol) feed from the windscreen washer pipe (inserting check valve & T connector between factory fitted connectors) with the aid of the specialist 'VW Washer Pipe Repair Kit' connectors. The check valve (rectangle with left pointing arrow in it) will prevent sucking in atmospheric air via the washer jet nozzles.

A slightly different version requiring two check valves but not the expensive VW Repair kit as the connections are made beyond the corrugated pipe work and utilizing a small section of the factory fit smooth pipe work. To be honest though, for ease and durability I think I'll probably go the 'vw washer pipe repair kit' route [above].

A greatly appreciate any advice and all comments on this fore-coming project.
Many thanks for your time,

Thats sweet! good drawings. I need to study up and learn what is going on here.

You could fit a simple system to your motorbike ;)
I presume it's not forced induction (turbo or supercharger) so just a simple tank and solenoid valve and the vacuum on the intake will automatically meter in the water/methanol thru the misting nozzle based on your throttle inputs. Perhaps an extra 10-15% power could be attained, plus the benefit of steam cleaning the valves, valve seats & piston crowns.
Simples :)

I sold the bike so I could get a 4x4 jeep. I will be posting about it.

Okie doke, maybe you could W.M.I. the jeep? ;)

Helpful post thank you again for sharing this great post

I will be bring more great info on this project as soon as I can :)
