What would be the benefits of fitting WI to my RICA remapped D5 and running water and methanol?
Where would I fit the nozzle and what size would you recommend?
Many thanks

That's what I would like to know as well, just bought a V70 2.4d, tuned to 200 HP AND I have an aquamist 1S system that I managed to salvage from my totalled V40 T4 :-(
I would like to put that to good use as well.
So anyone? Richard maybe :-)
Furthermore, what would be the optimal methanol/water mixture for diesel?
Thanks,

Methanol, according to some research paper has the effect of modifiying the burnt speed of flame front of a diesel engine. Some paper say it speeds it up and some said it doesnt alter the speed.
As far as the burnt period, the diesel combustion process is much shorter than the gasoline engine. So alterating the burnt rate with methanol (if true) will open up a lot of posibilities on chemically tuning the diesel engne. I need to read up more SAE papers. All the information are out there, just need to have enough hours a day to do it.
