nah that type of methanol, like the boost juice people run on FI so they can run more boost without detonation, you still run on gasoline, it just has methanol injection and in my case would have to be run all the time to prevent detonation if i decided to have 15:1 compression.
but i dont think i'll go that route

ohhh!! you mean ethanol/water injection. yeah thatd be fine. lol methane is kinda iffy. nitro methane is propane and oxygen its supposedly unlike anything else lol. like raw super NOS lol

Best bet is to design a system that can function on its own.

yeah those were all things i had thought about, but i dont think i'm going to run that high of compression anyways, i'm just going to do the highest i can without the pistons coming out of the block, which with the h23 crank and rods is going to be around 13.
and if i have to run 110 octane so be it

Nah .... methanol injection is right for what he's talking about. Ethanol is coolant and water/meth injection is for boost applications to drop the boost charge temp so a denser charge gets into the cylinder. Since L2R is planning to be NA, the water injection is useless. The meth injection raises the effective octane so the 15:1 CR doesn't blow the motor up ....... which presents a little problem ....... what if the bottle runs out, the pump dies or you get a bad tank of gas???? On a high boost system, the water/meth system can restrict high boost when empty ..... on an NA that needs the injection, it goes boom!!!

there's a DIY on one of these sites that shows how to go to a TSX manifold, which is i guess the best manifold for our cars; but it turned out it didn't really provide any practical results for the work involved.

My bad .... I was thinking ethylene glycol > coolant. Ethanol > Everclear ..... yeah, drink it!!! You first!
