Proper water/methanol systems flex science vs brand ego. Proven in motorsport for 20+ years, these kits are modular for easy expansion, servicing, and upgrades. Real world function inspires every design feature.
The USRT Method often involves multistage injection. Air is hottest inside the turbocharger and then drops in the piping just after. Next, it passes through the intercooler where a big IAT reduction occurs. Spraying the ideal fluid mixture at specified pump pressure with the right volume in the proper position at the correct time matters critically.

HEAT, WATER, METHANOL, & EVAPORATION DETAILS:
"Latent heat" is measured in "kiloJoules/kilogram" (kJ/kg) units. To convert a single kg of water at 100 ºC to a kg of steam at 100º C, the water must absorb 2260 kJ of heat. This takes time = speed x distance. It's critical that spray evaporates quickly and within the correct zones (designated by color in the top image) to produce excellent results. |
Only 1099 kJ/kg is needed to completely evaporate methanol. Thus, a given mass of it absorbs less heat (cools less) than the same amount of water. However, it cool much FASTER. -critically helpful when intake pipe sections are sort and/or bendy. -in cold weather, too. Pure alcohol may be advantageous at the drag strip. Blends are most effective in real world conditions. |
