    Just finished an installation of a methanol injection system on my 87 biturbo and thinking about it for the mondial 8. anyone have any opinions? Would appreciate your thoughts (new member).

    Is this the only mod you are making for the Ferrari? On a forced induction car it can allow higher boost; on an NA car you can run higher compression. But without making other mods the only thing it can do is allow you to run a bit more ignition advance which may or may not make any difference at all, depending on the engine.

    Frankly, without either a blower or a plan to install higher compression pistons, I wouldn't bother.

    hey Freddie
    i just installed the AEM kit in my turbo 328.
    its not dialed in yet so i cant give you actual details right now.

    however i did spray it on a dyno and dropped my slightly lean 12.0/12.3:1 A/F ratio down to 10:1. peak power only increased a few hp bbut my midrange power jumped between 20-30 hp throughout the powerband. this is with no tuning or adjustments, nothing. just the spray.
    since then i tuned the car for the correct A/F ratio, but again the meth is not dialed in yet.

    basically the methane makes your engine think its running on race fuel when your really running unleaded. so you can run a more advanced timing curve. however, it works best as an intercooler for forced induction systems. i like it better than air-to-air or water-to-air. how do you like it in the Bi-Turbo? did you turn up the boost? i bet that car is a sleeper ;)
