Methanol this Thursday..

[Steedman07]

Nice Billy. glad it went well. glad i could help

Ya, thanks man. We didnt want to run it to "hot all the time" source..So we took apart the fuse box and piggybacked the right source under neath..Vortech actually has a pre-installed inlet just after the blower, thats where the meth line sprays...Very convenient..Oh, the car rips compared to before the meth..What a difference seeing as I dont have an after-cooler..

u get the low level light?

Not yet..I will soon though..For now I will check it every time I get gas, and keep a couple gallons in the trunk..But it went down only a little after all those dyno pulls,And its got the second biggest jet in there now..

Any ideas on how long a gallon typically lasts?

i loved my meth kit with my roots, that baby was so cold .i use to drive 30mins too the track and i would have people touch the supercharge and they we like damn that thing is cold....

If you tapped in to the windshield bottle cant you just use the low warning light for that to tell you how low it is ? Just thought that might save you a couple bucks if it does work that is cant see why not .

Depends how you drive it..Mine comes on at 4.5 lbs of boost..stay out of boost it will last a while..

We have a low level washer signal?? Didnt think we did..

 

[blownstang]

i could be rong but i thought we did

 

[Steedman07]

Dumb question but, has anyone added a bunch of ice cubes into the washer fluid tank along with the boost juice? Im assuming cold boost juice would be better?? I dunno..

 

[fieldy301]

^^^The only problem I would see with that is the ice would melt and dilute your solution...I read that some people with trunk mounted kits will wrap the tank in ice but i don't know if it actually made a difference

Just use these...

Just remember you need to figure out a way to get them out

I'm running the AIS stage 1 kit with two nozzles, one (3 gal/hr) directly into the compressor and a 12 gal/hr on the discharge side. With the relocated IAT sensor, I'm seeing temps in the 110* range. Running -20* washer fluid plus 2 bottles of Heet (methyl alcohol) per gal of fluid.

LOL.......

i would invest in the SafeInjection soon though Billy.

Ya I will..I checked it again tonite and it didnt go down hardly at all..And thats after driving it for 2 days..Granted I wasnt horseing around that much either...

 

[SteveP]

u think it isn't spraying correctly?

 

[Steedman07]

u think it isn't spraying correctly?

No, its workin fine,I can feel it when I romp on it..Between the cruise and highway traffic to and from work today,I really didnt hammer it that much..Which is exactly how I was hoping this would work..Have it when I need it, and not use it up during normal driving..But I need the safe light..

 

[ASRoff]

Try Dry Ice but vent the tank or BOOM!!!! LOL!!

I wouldn't keep a couple of gallons in the trunk. you will be surprised with how long it will last. I am running the 8qrt tank in the trunk and it will last me a couple of months. If you are using the MAF kit then you will only start to spray when you hit a certain voltage and then it will turn off after your voltage drops below the trigger. So just cruising around it just sits there waiting.

Are you running 100% meth or 49/51 meth/distilled water boost juice? If you are running the Boost Juice you might want to check around at local businesses to see if they sell Methanol. I can get a gallon of Methanol for around $2 and a gallon of distilled water for $1 so 2 gallons of mix for $3. The boost juice is around $30 for 4 gallons.

Its boost activated, and my buddy told me the same thing about buying it and mixing it myself..But if I only go through 1 gallon of boost juice every month or so, I may just take the easy way and get the boost juice around the corner of my work..thanks for the info though...
