I was at canadian tire last night and i noticed they have something like distilled water and its in a 3.78L just like windshield washer fluid. I read the back and it said that its for diluting coolant and four use in batteries and household clothing irons. It doesnt have build up like regular tap water. Not for human consumption.

My question: Would it be safe to use this for my 50/50 mixture for meth injection kit? Im buying my 3.78L jug of meth at the irving. I figured if it was safe to use i would pick up a case of the water at $1.99 for a jug or maybe even a couple cases?

Let me know asap!

 

Yes its safe to use with meth. When mixing with coolant you dont want water that has a bunch of crap in it. iiunno the batteries...lol. But yes, it can be used.

 

ok cool, i will pick up a case or 2 today. Thats what you should use as well damien. Its the same size as the jug of meth so it will be 50/50

 

Just go to Shoppers Drug Mart and buy a 4L jug of Distilled Water, its like $1.89, then go to Home Depot or Canadian Tire and buy a 4L jug of Methanol or Methal Hydrate, exact same thimg and way cheaper

 

i went and bought the stuff from canadian tire. Its called Turbo Power deionized water. I cost me not quite $9 for 4 jugs of it.

i might be going with meth here in a few do you guys know what demineralized water would do because i have access to an unlimited supply for free and i just wanna know if it would be safe to run in the car

 

im curious and not to sound like an idiot either but what does the meth kits do and is it only for superchargers?

 

They act as an octane booster and they give you lower iat2 temps...And no they arent just for superchargers, i have seen them for naturally aspirated vehicles...

 

probably wouldn't do anything for my car then seeing as it can run off of 87 octane.

 

well u could always run surpreme with meth in your car it's cheap now!!! accually looking forward to april if prices stay down!!! and yeah i'm new to this stuff but i believe it's shot into your intake cooling the air down which in return more horsepower!! correct me if i'm wrong

 

surpreme won't do anything for my car it was designed to run on regular and surpreme just means im dumping more money for nothing (ive tried running surpreme, aside from cleaning the engine every so often it doesn't do anything but take my money) mind you when I pay off my car and have the money to install the turbo I want to do to it then supreme will make a difference

 

yeah or you could get a tb spacer so you dont have to drill a hole into your intake incase you have to go back to the dealer lol

 

what are we looking at in terms of iat2 temps stock, and after installing a meth kit, big difference?

 

yes when I ran my meth kit with my 2.8" pulley i never got over 140 degrees F during a 3 gear wot run, even during the hot summer days.....the summer before I would be over 170 degrees F without meth and a H/e. The bump in octane and tuning is where you see most of the gains, but yes it keeps the IAT2 temps under control during a WOT run, makes no difference just cruising around becuase the meth kit only engages at wot.

 

are you still out west ryan? just wondering if you or greg could install my pulley/hub and injectors and a tune. no rush or anything :P maybe i will pick up a meth kit too and get tuned for that at the same time. i'll make it worth your while $$ hah

 

dealer? heck I have enough time trying to find the right parts for my car let alone issues with a dealer remb mine ain't no cobalt 90% of my parts come from the dealer sadly ive already spent $700 on barely anything just to get rid of a noise lol and $130 on a cv joint cause the boot was $115 lol so it was cheaper to buy the whole unit lol.

 

this may sound stupid but what is "wot" i see it everywhere on here and am puzzled?

 

wot is "wide open throttle" and don't feel stupid were both in the same boat I had to ask this question on an integra board so you can just imagine how stupid I felt.

 

jeez robbie use punctuation in that sentence lol, felt like it just kept going on and on

 

It's actually preferable to use distilled water in alky/water injection systems. The distillation process removes the minerals commonly found in tap water that can build up and clog nozzles, damage pumps, etc. Unless you have a water softener, imagine all the hard water spots and calcium buildup you get in your shower from tap water also doing the same thing to your water injection system.

As already mentioned you also want to use it for your engine cooling system. The Havoline DEX-COOL that GM uses like most other modern coolants is designed to neutralize acid and other contaminants and will react to the minerals in tap water. If you try to do the extended drain intervals on DEX-COOL and have filled it up using tap water it will cause the coolant to break down much faster and turn into the sludge-o'-death it's commonly known for becoming. As for the battery usage, if you have an older type of non-sealed battery that you have to top off occasionally you want to use distilled water because the minerals in tap water can react to the hydrochloric acid in the battery, build up on, then damage the lead and zinc plates in the battery.

At least here in the US, nearly every major grocery store chain carries gallon jugs (3.78L) of distilled water in the bottled water/beverage section and it's usually cheaper than the jugs available at automotive parts and other stores. It's the exact the same thing and is just a super "filtered" water (using a distillation process that heats and evaporates the water which then condenses on the distillation container and drains back into a collection device leaving the minerals behind). The stuff you buy at grocery stores is bottled in containers meeting health standards and the water itself is perfectly safe to drink but your body just doesn't get the required minerals and trace elements it does from normal water.

 

hey I failed english class lol, well close to it anyways just passed with 65% or something stupid like that

 

Yep i am home Pm me and we can arrange to get you set up with the injectors and tune



Exactly whaat I was told as well when I ran my meth kit Great explanation of why to use distilled water over tap water

 

Im possibly gonna need a tune in the spring, but gonna have to wait and see. How much do you charge? I might be putting all my plans on hold because me and the gf are looking at buying a house, so if we do that, there will be no money for the cobalt. Atleast not for a few years...LOL

 

it'll only be around april or so, but i will send you a message so we can work something out.
thanks again ryan!

 

PM me and we can discuss
