I want to lower my knock a little and higher boost so I'm looking into either a water, alcohol, or methanol injection. Does anybody know any threads with good write ups and possibly pics of the install?

Thanks:dsm:
 
I personally use 100% methanol for injection and love it. It allows me to run 28psi on 60-1 on 91 pump gas. I use a kit developed by Derek O'banion (searching for that name will yeild you a lot of info about water/methanol injection). There are also kits on ebay for under $200 now, which are using same pump (shurflo) and whole range of different solenoids. I have installed 2-3 of them on customer's cars, and so far they performed great.

I run 1gallon tank, which lasts me about 2.5 tank-fulls of fuel of mixed city/hwy/boosted driving. My gas mileage went up from 20mi/gal to 23mi/gal mostly due to methanol replacing over 30% of my fuel up on top. Since methanol is only $2.90/gal here, it's heck of a deal compared to racegas.

As for the wiring, there are diagramms everywhere on the net. If you have trouble fiding or reading one, PM me, and I'll post some directions here.
