Ls6 intake distribution
Hey guys.
I figured i would post this here this since i am running a methanol injection kit on my boosted car and thought a wet nitrous kit has similar characteristics.
I have done a few searches but haven't found any solid answers. Has anyone done any testing to see at what hp level do our intakes start having dist problems? Right now, i am running a dual nozzle set-up...225ml & 675ml (279ml/min & 774ml/min respectively), spraying straight methanol. I just dynoed 638rwhp with this set-up. I have thought about doing a direct port set-up with 8 smaller nozzles, however not only is this more complicated and expensive, but if one of the nozzles was clogged, i would never know it and of course lose my engine.
So...how much more methanol can i spray before i have to worry about one or more cyinders running leaner than others?
Thanks for any input,
-Jarrod

Its more a problem of rpm than actual amount. More ppl will experience issues when they spray at too low of an rpm where the intake charge isnt moving as fast. I say this based off the amount of ppl that have successfully shot 200, 250 etc wet on nozzle setups. I would think a plate system would give better atomization. Other than that, not sure what the limits are.

The nozzles I have messed with, NX Shark, NOS ?, Dyno tune, all fogged very nicely, but looking at the video clips of Nitrous Daves Plate, the plate looks to atomize extremely well.

Did you happen to see the video that FJO made injecting methenal? They made a video showing inside an intake tube with 600 or so CFM flowing, then sprayed the methenal. I'm sure I saw it posted in the forced induction section.
