Turbo questions

How does alcohol injection work and how often do u have to fill it up and what does it cost?


What would be a good turbo setup on a stock bottom end car?

Can u run more psi on a stock bottom end car with alcohol injection?

Where can you buy the alcohol?



Plus any other info would be good.

Alcohol sprayed directly into the charged air stream has a substantial cooling effect and acts kind of like an inter-cooler. Alcohol’s cooling ability reduces detonation and allows higher boost levels to be run with low octane fuel.

best turbo setup for a stock bottom end car would probably be the kit from www.proturbokits.com
however, on the stock bottom end, you cannot run enough boost to really make the price of the system worthwhile. some people get away with it for awhile, but its better to have a forged bottom end so you can turn up the boost and make real power.

alcohol would help you run more psi a little safer on the stock bottom end without detonation, BUT, you will probably be nearing the point where just the HP is too great for the stock components (rod bolts etc), so you are still risking a blown engine.

uh, you can buy alcohol anywhere.

the "search" button is your friend if you want to learn more turbo stuff, its all been discussed here before, thats why no one really answers these type of questions..........i just happened to be bored.
