Water/Alcohol Injection on NA Motor?
We all know the use of WA Injection on boosted applications helps cool the intake temps and egt's down. Would there be any benifit for an NA 1uz, for the science of cooler air = denser air = more power?

I don't think you will see many benefits at all. Spend the money on something else.
For boosted cars it lowers temp and brings up octane. Which lowers chances of detonation and lets you raise boost.
Personally I don't think it's really needed over a properly built car. All it acts is like a bandaid.
Also, not sure how the 1uz intake manifold is designed, but distribution of the meth might also be a problem as toyota/lexus didn't have the idea of distributing liquids in their manifold when it was designed.
Just my 2 cents

there actually are some good gain for NA cars from meth injection. also will help keep the motor cleaned out and healthy if used properly. lower IATs and EGTs and its so easy and cheap to buy not only the kit but the meth too

I agree with RE... Though with met injected. You will gain horsepower/torque. But just to a certain percent. I don't think it will be as help full for Na's as it would on FI engines. But all of the kits i have put on...make the engine perform like poop. Unless they get the ECU tuned for the Injection.

well of course it will help a boosted application more because most ppl use it as a band aid for lack of octane also if your maxing out a small turbo at say 20psi then you spray meth its going to really cool that charge down that is super hot from maxing out the little guy and make a huge difference.
but they do work and work well on na cars and they dont run bad what so ever if they are jetted correctly

i just wanted to do a simple hook up. put a msd window switch on for like 3500 rpms or something and have a pump, hook it to my window wiper tank, the a line, check valve, and then a misting sprayer. 50/50 alcohol/water. worth it or not?
