Works best with petrols, though you should squirt it at the exhaust manifold, not the inlet

I'm not sure if I quite understand. Is he saying, his window washer reservoir has been filled with diesel and re-directed into this intake? So esseitially the car is over-fuelling to produce more power whenever he activates his window washer?

Edit to add: Providing he's removed his air filter

Kinda like an afterburner. For retards.

Kinda, but this way you're getting flames of power(tm) at the front of the car, where the magic happens

Do you think it makes a "belm" sound as it engages?!

OP, my car is a turbo'ed petrol.

Am I better off aiming the petrol into the inlet tract or like someone else said as an anti-lag/afterburner into the exhaust manifold or both?

[longblackcoat]

It only works if you're cadence clutching at the time you squirt the extra fuel, obviously. Otherwise it'd be a stupid idea.

I have a normally aspirated petrol, but it's a bit slow. Would this work for me? Should I use petrol or diesel? And what if a bird does a whoopsie on my windscreen and I'm going really fast?

[DanDC5]

I thought what he'd basically 'discovered' was a water injection system, then I noticed he'd put diesel in the washer tank. Oh dear.

I've heard of the washer bottle being redirected at the intercooler as a kind of heath-robinson cooling spray, but this is in a whole different league.

I'd love it if you could please post a picture of your air filter. That would make my day.

Good luck washing your windscreen.

I might re-route my heater fan into the engine intake, so when i put it to HI i get extra boost!

Surely you want cold air on intake?

[CBR JGWRR]

On second thoughts...

On a par with folding the back seats to make them lighter from a stupidity perspective, way ahead from a dying in a ball of flame perspective. . . . . . .

Keep up old pal!

Why do you want a picture of the air filter?

Yes. What a stupid thing to say.
