NEW VIDEO - Part 2 - DIY - Stealth Water Methanol Injection System [SH2OMI] - Update 12.01.18
Hello Steem-Meisters,
Here's the update that you've all been eagerly waiting for ;)
The majority of the main components have all arrived now and so I quickly cobbled together the parts to give you a much better idea of how the system will (hopefully) work. I did mention in the previous post (link below) that I intended to discreetly fit the boost gauge into the back of the upper glove-box. Unfortunately when I removed the box, directly behind it is a heavy duty steel tube (chassis strengthening ?) and so there is no room whatsoever to fit it there. I will ponder this problem though and hopefully come up with a new location for it.
Any hoo, I hope you enjoy the video below. As usual I tend to waffle on a bit but it should at least be informative if a little,........ shall we say; dull ;)

...a rough idea on paper ;)
Catch you all later,

Brilliant bit of DIY modding love it! I should build one for my 7 😈
Thank you, glad you didn't fall asleep halfway thru video ;) lol
I'll work just as well on petrol as it does diesel tho water/meth ratio will vary to get the right A/F ratio and make most of the upgrade.
I watched a video a while back (can remember title) about how water/methanol injection doesn't risk engines blowing up as apparently it makes the extra torque while piston on down stroke (after peak cylinder pressure) because the mist slows detonation down a little. On petrol cars you can run higher compression ratios as water/meth prevents pre-ignition/auto ignition/detonation or whatever it is you call it lol.
