VW R36 - 6 Port Water Methanol Injection
What is Water Methanol?
Water Methanol is an auxiliary system that injects a mixture of 50% water & 50% Methanol into the engine. This interaction substantially raises the fuel octane levels to over 110 whilst drastically reducing cylinder temperatures and increasing air density.
Is it better than E85
Yes.... There are substantial trade offs when running E85 and further financial cost associated. If you are not using the vehicle for race/ drag applications, we would heavily recommend our customers and friends to invest in a water methanol kit.
