"Cold Air Intake"
IMO using (wasting) water injection to compensate for a poor intake design is not a very smart idea. A proper, effective cold air intake (i.e. one that prevents any engine bay air being ingested) is a benefit all the time. Water injection is only useful when it's on (usually when under load) and for as long as there's water in the tank.

but methanol? is methanol really necessary. i mean wouldnt play water be suffice?
Water is good, methanol is better. It absorbs more heat when it vapourises.

Why wouldn't it? The air will be cooler and denser, which increases mass airflow. The ECU will know that and react accordingly.

When are you going to get around to installing this??

Im about to tackle mine. I was looking the other day and didn't see any good spots for the tank or pump.....What are your plans? And where are you supposed to mount the spray nozzle? This water injection is new to me.

i think the best spot (if in the engine bay) would be at the passenger-side corner behind the strut where the start assist container thing is/was.
i removed it since it leaked ALOT when i tried pouring some coolant in it one day..
seems like an appropriate place to me.

about the Cold air intake.. i would think that by the time the air reached the throttle body. the engine bay would heat the plumbing back to regular temps thus cancelling off most if not all the cool temps that were traveling through.
just a personal opinion NOT A FACT. lol.

The colder the air is when it enters the intake, the colder it will be when it gets to the engine, no matter what happens along the way. That is a fact.

See my post above yours.

AM I wrong in thinking that the air temp sensor is used in fuel correction?
Is it just a general temp range or for finer calculations?

If it's just a general range then I guess it would work fine being injected at any point.
