Water, nitrous oxide, ethanol, and methanol - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Ok im somewhat familiar with water injection. the nature of water gives higher compression at lower temps....very goof for turbo cars, and the vapors also eat the carbon deposits found on the inside of the intake and whatnot. little to no knocks and extends the power band. now ive been hearing that ethanol and methanol can also be used with the water and they provide extra power as well as the maintenance water has. Im also wondering if using nitrous will throw off or cause unwanted chemical reactions to take place when using all these additives. Anybody feel like expanding on this?

water? i'm no expert, but i know that water cant be compressed, so, if it's in your intake, it'll go into the cylinders and mix with fuel...isnt water in fuel bad?

I've heard of Aquahol. Alcohol + water.

Never looked into it though.
