Hi all,
My first post here and new to the forum in general but not new to my love for speed, cars and everything related to it hah!
As the title states I've went ahead and purchased a methanol injection system (found here):
https://www.snowperformance.net/sta...el-braided-line-4an-fittings-sno-2132-brd.asp
It'll be running on a 2018 Mustang GT 5.0 (commuter and never tracked).
I purchased the above because I've always heard methanol / water cleans cylinder heads and valves well with statements on YouTube easy to find. Along with a catch can:
https://www.americanmuscle.com/jlt-v30-black-oil-separator-passenger-side-2018-gt.html
I'm well aware most here are running turbos and superchargers and jargon I'm not even in the field with this car (yet, heh).
My main concern though is I live in the PNW. Typically outside temperatures are often just above freezing so I'm not too concerned about air-intake temps. What I'm looking at is the cleaning properties and obviously increase in hp and torque of this upgrade. And moisture, slow, drizzly, never ending, damp, soggy moisture (curses to all mold and mildew!).
I'm also in the market for proper tires for such an environment. If anyone has suggestions?
What I'm looking to NOT run is E85 as I don't like the corrosive properties of ethanol toward rubber (it's not really bad at all but I nitpick on everything when it comes to my commuter car that eventually will get sold).
In short, does anyone here have a methanol/H2O mixture ratio they've found effective for colder weather? I know this is a critically technical question (and I should just find out myself for my specific car's personality). But I wanted to ask as I'm new to Mustangs and muscle. Last thing I want to do is throw throttle to a system I don't have tuned properly.
Edit: Anyone have some commentaries? I haven't found anything to suggest my concerns are valid but I don't want to pretend I know anything about methanol injection (apart from some chemistry I've taken). My thought is I should run heavier on the methanol?
