Snow Performance Methanol Kit and APS Turbo Back
Tested and Tuned on Evolution 9
You just had your Evolution tuned for Ca 91 and your 300tq
and 300hp at the wheels is just not enough. So you have the
car tuned for race gas. Now the car performs how you always
wanted but the price of race gas just isn't appealing to the
wallet. What do you do now? The answer is Methanol
Injection.
Methanol Injection has been around for decades and the first
widespread use was during WWII on supercharged and
turbocharged aircraft. In 1942, the German Luftwaffe
increased the horsepower of its' aircraft from 1776HP to
2240HP using 50/50% water/methanol injection. Later it was
used in the Formula 1 racing circuit before being banned for
adding too much power.
Speaking from FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE on Daily Driven Shop
cars and countless customer cars, methanol/water injection
is safe when the car is owned by an educated meticulous
person. If you don't know how to maintain your car and/or
don't like to constantly verify everything is correct there
is good chance you will damage your car. We have never had
any of our customers methanol kits ruin an engine to date.
Reason being good installation and good owners. Yes
we have had a pump fail. Good thing for the Safe injection
being installed CORRECTLY.
Our test bed vehicle is a perfect stock Evolution 9 with
less than 1000 miles on it. We began our testing with some
baseline Dyno runs. The baseline testing netted
approximately 219 HP and 222 TQ. This happened to be 4-5 HP
less than a majority of the stock Evolution 9s we have base
lined. This could be due to the extremely low mileage of the
test Evo. |
