Default best pre turbo mixture

good evening.

after reading the commends of this man I started driving pre turbo injection in the firs place.

Yes atomisation is critical, but the technology is there.

However, if you add a second fluid, say methanol, Dalton proved with his law of partial pressures that the methanol doesn't know that the air is saturated with water vapour and goes on to vapourise as well. Add a 3rd, such as acetone (all available chemicals) and you get a 3rd tranch of cooling.

The net result is that you may be able to cool the air to slightly below ambient with the right mix. So your compressor becomes more efficient, you can throw away the intercooler, increasing your flow, and in some cases significantly improve the flow from turbo to inlet.

Its good, very very good.

I'm building a duel stage turbo set up.
between the first en second stage there is no room for a intercooler and I like the results of my WMI with pre turbo injection so far.

I want a second WMI system on board eats with a different mixture.
one for pre turbo injection and one for post intercooler injection.

but what would be the best pre turbo mixture to start with ?
I would like to come to near isothermal compression as close as possible.

I think:
-methanol.
-acetone.
-isopropyl alcohol.
-demineralised water.

would be the best to start with.
what proportions would work best ?

Sure, it will make it more efficient.
Practical an easy maintenance, may be not so much.

I have had some great results on the 70 % M1 to 30% distilled water sprayed pre-turbo.

O.K. I'll start with that.
ever tried acetone or isopropyl alcohol ?
