Water Methanol Injection Installation

  • This video is about Water Methanol Injection. No, really... it is. Water Methanol Injection was developed between World War I and World War II to help overloaded aircraft generate enough power to get off the ground and climb in altitude quickly. Of course, this kit is newer than that, but it works on cars, too. It works best on vehicles that are force-inducted. Essentially it offers higher final compression, and power output by cooling the intake charge and raising the octane of your air fuel mixture. There are loads of other benefits like fuel economy, its ability to steam clean the intake, combustion chamber and exhaust, but most people use it solely for the power benefits it provides. I've had this kit for a while and it was long overdue that I make a video about installing it now that I've got the bugs worked out on this car. I'm not sure how many first generation Elantras on the planet have water methanol injection installed, but I'm sure I could count them on one hand. Perhaps one finger?
    The car I'm installing it on is equipped with a 1990 DSM ECU, wiring harness, ECMlink and my airflow metering system has been converted to Speed Density using GM sensors. This engine management system does not control or integrate with this water methanol injection kit, but it does offer all the tuning capabilities necessary to compensate for tuning changes that are required to get the most out of this piggyback system. I demonstrate the unboxing, part modifications, wiring, mounting bracket fabrication, parts modifications, a failsafe mechanism with schematics and details about how it works, and then I test my work. I'm not the first person to do this, but in my searches I did not find good information about installing a failsafe mechanism that wasn't bought at a retail store as a kit. Sometimes the kit is impractical as it requires driver interaction. I wanted something automatic so that I don't even have to think about it. I have enough on my mind in the staging lanes at the track to think about before I make a drag pass. That list is full.
    Also: at one point a text overlay informs everyone that some of my advice only applies to OBD-II cars. I started the game with a 2nd generation Eclipse which shares the same basic engine and engine controls... but its error checking routines are different. On a 1g you can disconnect the factory boost control solenoid and it doesn't generate a check engine light. This is not the case for a second generation car. That means the relay installation for a 1g (like the car I'm doing this on) does not require the use of all 5 pins. You don't need 87 or the red wire with the inline resistors to build a working failsafe system, you just need 87a. I don't feel bad for having demonstrated how to wire it in a second generation OBD-II car. The system works either way, and perhaps there's a benefit for the voltage your car generates while the failsafe relay switches its operation, but it wasn't unnecessary in my case if I didn't have that red wire. It would only be necessary on OBD-II cars (Like Subaru WRX, Mazda RX-7, EVO, etc... OBD-II cars are typically built 1995 or later. I have no idea what happened to my text overlay at 27:28? It looks correct on my master file, and I've exported it twice and I can't fix it. It's supposed to read "This advice is for OBD-II cars, OBD-I cars do not perform BCS circuit checks."
    Anyway I hope you enjoy the video. It was fun to make. If you want to know more about the history of Water Methanol Injection, there's a wikipedia page, of course there are forums on AEM's website that didn't answer any of my questions, the ECMtuning forums and Google if you need information beyond what's here... and there's a link to my Patreon page if you find my videos helpful and are interested in sponsoring my production so that I can keep doing these CZcams-y things. Thank you for watching!

    PS: Yeah, I screwed up the ending screen links and graphics. It would take a day to export this again so I'm leaving it that way.

    Another video....that makes my weekend! And this kit finally makes it on the Elantra! Can’t wait to see the difference it makes on the track and the tune. I say, you need to make an intercooler sprayer next? With a windshield wiper pump, (the Mirage assembly you already have??) and nozzles from the garden section of Lowe’s. That way, you’ll kill some of that heat soak on the intercooler between passes. Thanks again for another greatly produced how to on this kit. Can’t wait for the next video!

  • @HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP

    Thank you, Sir. As to your comment of not being able to find methanol in your grocery store- where I live, in Central NY we use washer fluid that's rated for NEGATIVE 20F, perfect for your application. The only major concern, is having to change your oil more often under heavy or more frequent use. The water portion mostly boils away, keeping combustion chambers clean- but it also tends to homogenize to the oil under high revs, making a foam (colloid) in the pan, that is easily removed with a proper kerosene flush before oil change. Your engine is going to be very happy when you get this dialed in. Now- if I could just convince you into researching a "REAR mounted" turbo setup; many videos here, no intercooler, no lag, easy & cheap with your DIY skills. Stealth AF.

    • @littlerhino2006

    • @HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP
      @HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP Před 6 lety +3

      No, the mere length of aluminum tubing is a huge heat sink, moving through the air; you can install one- but it's usually superfluous. Check this link- czcams.com/users/results?search_query=rear+mounted+turbo What's nice- if you have fab skills and some decent tools- you don't have to spend huge money on a "kit". DIY is yours, anyway. Make it yours! The 2 costly extras are a decent oil scavenge pump, and longer charge tubing. No more cooking and coking your turbo. It's all about volume- not psi.

      I am currently developing a flex a meth kit for myself with the potential for selling them. With the new map switching that the flex fuel cobb stuff offers the idea is that when you arm the meth kit it will map switch to the meth map. Fail safe will be off a pressure transducer in the line that will look for low pressure and too high of pressure and the ecu can map switch off of that. Subaru ECU's are pretty advanced now.

      @Jafromobile  Před 6 lety +8

      Thanks man! IIRC, you have the Snow Performance kit... if it also has a failsafe ground, you could do the same sort of thing. I'm just going to compensate fuel and timing in the cells wherever it's on and let the MW50 float switch control high/low boost. Are there any benefits of connecting the two? I dunno? There are so many people using so many different methods, it's hard to tell what's best? I just knew I needed to make mine idiot-proof because... well... it's mine after all...

It will effect your tune and you’ll be refilling your tank frequently. With that said, Looking forward to another vid in which you address the issue. Yay for more Jafro vids!

    Water/Methanol injection is just so genius. You clean your intake, lower emissions, lower temps, reduce knock and make more power. You should see these standard on normal cars. But the people driving them couldnt be bothered with filling up. I would love to implement this system on my tdi car or even a NA car.

I've been hard on this motor and apparently I'm not the first, Pistons and head look like someone threw gravel in the thing at some point. I didn't have time to deal with it then so I knocked off the sharp spots and put it back together, ran another season and a half racing it before I decided it was time to retire it.

Four counting the FWD one in the Hyundai. It still works like new. When it turns 500 drag passes, 100,000 miles old and finally lets go, someone will post "SEE, I TOLD YOU YOU WERE RIDING THE CLUTCH!"

    I use the boost guage to monitor MPG. If your using more turbo on the flats at your normal speed. Even leaky tires can bump the needle from -10 average to -5 . They are quite sensitive in vacuum.

    Jafro! On the tuning front, you can do like I do: I've got a tiny acer ultrabook running only the tuning software required for my setup on it, stuck in the glove box with a car laptop charger. The ultrabook was payment for helping my neighbors take some old furniture to good will, and the car laptop charger was $20 on Amazon.

    I don’t have any problem with how you have done this. I just hope your present wiring harness doesn’t fail you on the track or off! If it matters for one part, it should matter for all or why bother! Just saying! I get off my box now and say good job and smart thinking on how this system was addressed. Not everyone will be onboard, but they’re probably just jealous because you came up with a common sense solution to the problem and they are clueless. You should be proud of this and I hope it yields what you want on the track. I do not advocate it’s use off, however!🙄😠😲

  • @numinous4789
    @numinous4789 Před 6 lety +4

    I run in-tank E25 in conjunction with methanol injection on my Speed 3. The ethanol mix alone is sufficient for the added octane I need to run the timing and boost levels (~25psi) to safely get 390/385 @ the wheels (in good weather) on my fully bolted setup with a GT2871. I threw/tuned for the methanol on top of the E25 mix to have an extra safety layer, lowering cylinder temps hundreds of degrees more, adding even more octane, cleaning my intake valves (I'm direct-injected), and minimizing the power loss I experience in our Texas summertime heat due to lower oxygen density in much hotter air, which gives rise to higher BATs.
    I know supposedly 50/50 is the best mix to run, but after extensive (years and years, thousands of drivers) experimentation on our platform, almost everyone ends up on spraying pure M1 (100%), finding it far superior. After trying 50/50, 70/30, 80/20, etc., our Speeds just seem to love 100% much more, making better power and staying much happier. Just goes to show there's no one-size-fits-all approach; different platforms respond differently.

      1-year later comment update:
      One thing I've learned is that push-to-connect fittings with ALWAYS leak, it's just a matter of time. Converting to stainless lines and -AN connectors is expensive, so I recommend just going to all compression fittings, which still avail the use of 1/4" OD nylon lines found it most kits. This is a much better solution, in my view.

    Dude you are smart when it comes to the electronics and fitment of everything. Like putting a puzzle together, I must ask. How did you get all your knowledge? Its a loaded question but I was wondering if you went to certain classes or if you just did independent study? Thats sick man, good job.

  • @snype2live
    @snype2live Před 6 lety

    You should add a dry nitrous kit after the intercooler (a small shot 30hp) to cool your intake temps. For every degree you bring down your intake temps it's like a 2rwhp gain. I did this on a neon I worked on and it went from beating a car by a fender to beating it by busses.

    I would've put the pump under the hood somewhere that is as close to the injector as possible. I know that the injector has a check valve and backflow and all that but this is a non-continuous pressurized system, so for me having near instantaneous injection response is more important.

  • @MariosEvoCy
    @MariosEvoCy Před 6 lety

    A boost gauge is not to log boost, not to do boost leak testing, nor does it replace the logging device, it is a merely complementary device as an added verification of things. It is there so you can look at it while you are driving, make sure to put it at a spot where you can actually see the intended max boost on it easily. The reason you should have one is in case you are running an aftermarket boost controller and not controlling boost through the ecu, and it so happens for any given reason such as is a split on a hose between your 3 port and the internal or external gate, which will lead to overboosting, and or there is a malfunction with the controller not maintaining boost up to the set limit but exceeds that, or the wastegate is malfunctioning. For such reasons you need to be able to see when the turbo system overboosts even by a small margin, so as to take your foot off the throttle. Also, methanol bonds its molecules on the benzene ones and being a highly oxygenated fuel forces the benzene molecules to be burnt more completelely and more uniformly , it does not stabilize benzene molecular structure in any way. Apart from that methanol binds all the "negative" substances that are in a benzene pump fuel mix thus allowing benzene to reach its full anti-knocking potential and higher octane rating. Lastly it also cools down the combustion chamber keeping cylinder pressures in check. All these factors plus the cooling the water offers to the intake air, allows you to run higher boost pressure on denser air along with more advance timing. Good video, good work, keep it up.

      Easily 4 of the most under-rated musicians recording today. I wouldn't say that had I not just seen them live. I didn't completely get Troy Sanders until I saw him work on stage, but now he's been elevated from-just being a better bassist than I am-to being an equal with his bandmates. Excellent stage presence and he brings a ton of texture to their vocals. I was expecting them to sound as bad as all of the live video of their performances, but I witnessed the same perfection in person that they achieve in the studio. I own everything they've recorded except for a few of their spinoff projects, and I've got nothing but love for Atlanta Georgia. There is only one Brent Hinds. There is only one Brann Dailor. Nobody else has their chops. I'm extremely proud of Bill's newfound sobriety and how it has transformed his compositional style and ability and how he maintained that through the loss of his mother. He writes most of their music. I love Mastodon because I love drums, I play all the things they have that have strings on them and fully-understand their music's complexity, and they don't sound like anyone else. Their videos are also hilarious. Kuba, you've got excellent taste! Why aren't you subscribed? Oh wait... I forgot. You have good taste. ;)

      i´m a musician as well and absolutely agree with you about mastodons´ perfection! unfortunately i haven´t see them yet, but i´m sure one day they will be in germany again and it´ll be ass kicking great! troy is hilarious, besides being a genius. as well are brann, brent and bill, they all have a unique sense of humor and sound. right now i can´t stop listening to jaguar god (one of the best solos brent ever did), show yourself, motherload and their ep cold dark place. which one is/are occupieing your mind at the moment?

    Correct me if I misunderstand how it's wired, but if the dummy load is just switched between battery and a simple open-collector output, then dissipation of the dummy load would be (14.5v^2) / 37R = 5.7W. At a glance, those resistors look like 0.5W carbon film resistors.
    While perhaps the overstress to the individual resistors might be acceptable in something that is only occasionally and briefly energized, the net ~6W dissipation inside such a tiny volume is probably going to get way too hot for the heat shrink.
    Inexpensive 5W to 10W wirewound 33, 36, or 39 ohm resistors can be found on ebay or mouser. Ones with mounting tabs or cases can also be found if it's desirable to affix it to something instead. For example:

      I'm thumbing this. Great info! I'm not an electrician. Like so many other things I just used what I had. When I wired it, and when I made the diagram... I had the fog of my 1995 Eclipse's BCS solenoid behavior stuck in my head from experience. My GSX is OBD-II. My Elantra is OBD-I. I made the distinction between them in the text overlays because by the time I figured out I don't even need that wire, the video was shot, animations finished, voiceover done, and because it applied to second generation cars, I left it the way it was. My ECU does NOT check for a BCS. Should that resistor pack fail or cause a problem, I'm just going to remove it. I'm going to leave pin 87 blank. YOUR INFO IS GOLD for people with OBD-II, for nearly everyone in the Subaru crowd, the Mazdaspeed crew, everyone whose stock BCS is required by the ECU. So far my proof of concept HAS worked, though, and after driving around for 20 minutes with that wire lit up, it's been cool to the touch (so far).

    I installed a Cooling Mist kit, used my windshield washer tank. Has an adjustable pressure switch that's set to 12psi, a simple indicator light inside let's me know when it activates. I just check the level every couple days and refill as necessary. Also a pre-turbo nozzel has helped my small Garrett T-3 seem like a bigger turbo, I'm guessing my air charge is cooled a bit before going into the intercooler.
