    DevilsOwn's Benefits Include:

    •Increase horsepower safely by 10-15%.
    •Lower air temperatures by 50-200+ degrees.
    •Decrease cylinder temperatures up to 300 degrees.
    •Reduce the effects of heat soak in warmer climates.
    •Allows you to safely run more boost and timing.
    •Reduces carbon and helps maintain a clean combustion chamber.
    •Increases octane at user programmable boost levels.
    The main function of water methanol injection is preventing detonation. Detonation is caused by high temperatures and pressure developed in the combustion chamber. Water has a high latent heat content, which makes it extremely effective at preventing the onset of detonation. Water injection also reduces the production of NOx (oxides of nitrogen). Methanol, with its 116 octane and high flash point, further reduces the chances of detonation. While water is not combustible, it has a greater capacity to cool the intake air temps more than methanol alone. This is why we recommend a 50/50 mixture being misted into your boosted engine. Methanol also effectively increases the octane rating of the fuel, allowing performance gains when used in supercharged and turbocharged applications.

    Depends... on my older XTO, didn't have enough boost to make it worth my while... only a 5 hp boost. Dunno if it's the low boost pressure or the automatic transmission.

    On another turbo Crosswind (apparently in better condition), gave an estimated 10-15 hp boost (estimated from the time sheets)... on one Focus TDCi I tested, the extra power was huge.

    On a newer XUV, with an MT and a turbo, should be good for some extra pep. If you have an AT, I'm not sure.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Have you tried LPG fogging?

    Nitrous? On a diesel? No way.. and not by itself.

    If you want an automatic Crosswind to go faster, you have two choices... swap in a bigger turbo and reprogram your fuel pump for more fuel... or sell it and buy a faster AUV.

    It's called LPG/Propane Fumigation.

    It temporarily adds power in diesel engines. I have heard it used for big rig trucks that have to go up hills and mountain roads. I think it would also be applicable to smaller diesel engines.
