C6 Forced Induction/Nitrous - Methanol Injection. M1 vs. M3 vs. M5! Which one is right for me and why? - Ladies and gentlemen, With the advent of new types of Methanol, it's worth while that we build a light case study to discuss the merits and drawbacks of each fuel. I've run both M1 and M3 and had great results. I...
Methanol Injection. M1 vs. M3 vs. M5! Which one is right for me and why?
C7 Forced Induction/Nitrous - Methanol Injection Pros/Cons - Currently my build is running a P1X blower @ ~8psi. About to add catless headers and get the car on the dyno in the coming weeks. Just wanted to get a feel for those of you with a similar setup that decided to add meth injection and pulley down for more...
C6 Forced Induction/Nitrous - Methanol Pump Location - I had planned to mount my pump behind the WS washer tank on the frame, but without welding a bracket to the aluminum frame, I didn't see any way it would fit. I remember a post from a while back where it was mounted to the radiator support frame. After a little...

It took me some time but I've got them all cleaned out and my system working again. You can see the lines that were clogged in the photo.
C5 Forced Induction/Nitrous - Does Methanol go bad? - I've had methanol in a plastic 5 gallon gas container going on 3 years. I've been using it, but still have plenty left. It just dawned on me... does it ever go bad?
C5 Forced Induction/Nitrous - fire hazard? blow-off valves and methanol injection - I spray a 50/50 mixture (so it SHOULD be not flammable) of methanol and water into my intake. The blowoff valve is near to the methanol injection nozzle, however, I dont think it would matter... If Im in my garage, put the hood up, hit...
IMO - It's the only fuel to use for drag racing. Methanol without additives is very corrosive to aluminum and gaskets/o-rings. So alki carbs use specialized parts. You also have to understand that you burn twice as much methanol as gasoline. So alki carbs have massive jets and internal passages. When I was buying methanol in 55 gallon drums the cost was about $2.10 per gallon. You burn twice ...
