Methanol for Cooling Hot air charge on supercharger

[Old Skool Subbie]

Just wondering about something....

If lets say you have a car thats running a supercharger and you want to cool down the intake air comming thru it.

Would it be Rd leagal to run methanol to cool down the hot air charge ???

Just to clarify, you mean a meth/alky injection setup?

You do not run strictly meth but it is added to your air/fuel mixture to cool the intake charge. Cooler intake charge = bookoo more power for the stage 3 users

You could inject liquid LPG that would add cooling and fuel

Yes, a meth injection setup. Changes the A/F a bit though.

At the expense of your health? Meth/Alky is cheaper tho.

Methanol is a known carcinagin (spelling)

We use it in the Super Saloon, (418CID Chev) but the by-products of combustion make your eyes water (stream) and almost suffocates the nasal passages, but the big thing is that the exhaust gases are known to cause cancer !!

you can use a mixture of water and methanol to add density by cooling the intake "charge"

In a study conducted for the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), Swedish consultants Peter Ahlvik and Ake Brandberg at Ecotraffic compared the cancer potency of cars running on a wide range of fuels-diesel, petrol, methane (CNG is 80 per cent methane) and alcohols (methanol and ethanol). The most alarming finding of the study is that the cancer potency of diesel particulate is much higher compared to the total effect of all carcinogenic compounds present in petrol vehicles.

Ethanol, methanol and methane (CNG) are definitely cleaner options than diesel and petrol. The results confirm that although fuels like ethanol and methanol are cleaner than petrol and have lower cancer potency, the best option is CNG. Liquefied petroleum gas has not been investigated, but it is likely that this fuel would be somewhere between alcohols (methanol and ethanol) and CNG, say Ahlvik and Brandberg.
