Question Blueish fluid injected into intake??

I saw on a turbo 280ZX a guy had a bottle of blue fluid mounted on his core support that he was injecting into his intake to further cool air. He told me what it was but I've already forgot. Can this be done to an NA?

Sounds like water/alchohol injection to cool down his intake charge. Won't do a thing for an NA.

I agree with Trochoid, sounds like Methanol/water injection. I hopefully will be doing something similar a little bit later as my turbo project progresses!

He's a RICER!!! Prolly ran a hose from his winshield washer bottle, just to look cool. Check in the back of his car for a blue, spray painted fire extinguisher, with a NOS sticker.
