I ran methonal threw my M62 for over 2yrs, never damaged anything, the teflon coating was still in its orginal state. The coating on the blowers rotors it mostly there for sound dampening from my understanding. In due time that coating would wear off on it own at some point in time. I also have the methonal spraying threw my tvs also with using e-85 for fuel. Now if you spray methonal after the blower your cooling everything after the blower basically the intake manifold only. Now if you spray before depending where you place the jet you could cool off much more. For example my methonal is spraying about 9inchs away from the throttle body in the intake, so not only am I cooling the intake partially down, I'm also cooling the throttle body, and the whole supercharger and the whole intake manifold down now. Which sounds better to you.

you can pulley down for more power with less heat basically.

If so that's a highly dangerous amount.

The most to run is 50/50!

The coating on the rotors is not teflon, it is ablative. The reason for the coatings is that it helps to make the clearance between the rotors as small as possible so that you get the most efficient compression of the air. When you spray any type of liquid into the blower it causes the ablative coating to wear faster because the liquid will cause less clearance between the rotors thus causing more wear. I have seen a few M62 that where the coating was eaten away by methanol, though I do not know what mixture they were running.

I would guesstimate a 65% and up mixture of meth to water ratio.

The highest I would run is 50/50. Keeps things safer.

Some people have NO trouble with the coating wearing off. I am not one of them..lol.. this is my m62 on a 50/50 mix after approximately 30k miles





Please note: this did not stop me from spraying it through the tvs...lol

My bad, sorry I confussed my self there, I had mine re-coated in a teflon coating on the m62, when I built my motor over a year ago. Prior to that, its a hit or miss on the coating wearing off, some seam to have the problem some do not. Like I noted in a early post I guess I am one of the lucky ones, for I have had no issue with the factory coating. I ran a 80meth/20water mix for roughly 2-2.5 yrs and 70k miles and the rotors were still mint looking they had a staining in color cause the fluid I ran had a purple dye color to it other than that a scratch here and there. I been running and 80/20 mix as well on the tvs for a while now and no problems yet. but everyone seems to have different outcomes. Also I'm not sure if this makes a differance but, I made my own mixture and I always use distillied/purified water.

you can run any mixture, at your own risk over 50/50 thou it becomes flammable after that. I havnt had any issues with a higher mixture of more that 50/50 least thus far.

I am a firm believer that either the coating is going to come off or its not. And no other environment variables or small amount of water/methanol will affect it. Kinda of a luck of the drawl.

Postive is the water/methanol will seal the blowers so its common to see a 2-3 psi increase in boost with methanol injection before the blower.

i would disagree with that, at least on our cars, boost levels have nothing to do with methanol spraying before or after the blower, or at all, i see the same level, only thing that increases boost that much is colder outside air temps
