What are the drawbacks to running Meth/alchohol injection?
I have heard these setups work great on turbo cars. I dont know of anyone with a honda running it and i dont want to be a guineia pig. I figure it should work the same on all motors if setup properly. What are the drawbacks of risks to it? Is it hard on the motor? Anyone with any info would be greatly appreciated

from what i have seen on a few import "race cars" they use a different injector and pump, and thats all i could tell that was different, they told me it was actually cheaper for them to run alcohol for actual race cars than it was to keep running race gas, it has an awesome burning rate and runs soooo cold, i would love to see someone with an additional type injector setup with an alcohol resevoir on a street car, i have seen it done on the LS1s with nitrous, they have a seperate pump, tank, just for the alcohol...
let me know what you find

Are you wanting to use it for additional fuel or for cooling? If you just want to cool the intake charge, you can stick with water injection which actually cools better than alky. The nice thing of course about water injection is its easy to plumb, maintain, supply, etc.
If you are looking for extra fuel, alky is an excellent choice. Most setups I've been involved with use some type of simple pump (a windshield washer pump) or a pump from a late 80's F150 truck (stainless internals prevent corrosion). For a nozzle, a nitrous fogger works great, or you can go to McMaster-Carr for some industrial nozzles which also work great.

I was wanting to use it to drop the intake charge and make more power on pump gas. i have heard of people running this in place of race fuel. I dont mind if i have to run C16 at the track but im looking for a way to run more boost on pump gas on the street.
