Default Re: Aquamist HFS-3 system for 2010 ..... "Q and A"

Presently I am naturally aspirated but I have a Kenne Bell positive displacement supercharger that will be installed soon. However, I would like to install the HFS3-v3 before the install in order to become familiar with it. Once the SC is installed I plan to continue running the water/meth injection.

The Kenne Bell is a twin-screw "top mount" SC. That is, it sits on top of the engine replacing the intake manifold. Inside the SC are two anodized aluminum rotors and the associated mechanicals including steel bearing packs. Underneath the rotors is an aluminum aftercooler; the compressed air flows through this before entering the engine.

Q1: When the SC is installed I plan to inject water/meth pre-throttle body. Is this the optimum injection point for this system or should I inject post-throttle body?

Q2: Is methanol compatible with aluminum? Will I expect to see pitting and other corrosive effects on the anodized aluminum rotors and\or the aluminum aftercooler?

Q3: Will the steam or water vapor wash out the bearing packs in the SC?
