Water Methanol   Printable Version Hummer Forum >> Hummer Lineup >> Hummer H1 >> Water Methanol Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> Water Methanol - 3/31/2008 5:36:07 PM    tavion2378   Posts: 32 Joined: 12/16/2007 Status: offline has anyone tried water meth injection in their turbo diesel H1's.  I am just curious I know this adds alot of timing hence raised cylinder pressures but I was wondering if it may have a significant cooling difference. _____________________________ 2001 Hummer H1 2003 Mustang Cobra twin turbo 790rwhp 110 octane 2005 Dodge Viper truck srt-10 crew cab 2002 SKM shifter Kart 2004 Suzuki Hayabusa Investment Realtor Residential and Commercial in WA state.

The 6.2s/6.5s are pretty much at there performance capacity with stock cylinder pressure, especially the block - 2 out of the three I know who did it cracked blocks within several thousand miles, and the third got rid of his before it cracked - he had made it to about 8000 with the water meth _____________________________ NV Customs!!!

With the system on I rarely exceed 850. Plus there is a definite performance boost, specially with a 50/50 water/meth mixture. " 850 is deg F of EGT sorry for not much info on it due to the older post has been deleted. _____________________________ eToolSmith Development (in reply to 3hummers) Post #: 6 RE: Water Methanol - 4/1/2008 11:40:08 AM    3hummers   Posts: 11687 Joined: 9/23/2007 Status: offline A little more info.

Why not build an intercooler and go that route. You get better performance, more torque, and a bigger impact at highway speeds where you spend quite a bit of time. Sure it's more expensive, but the benefits are better too.
