Coming soon, the most elaborate Water-Methanol Setup ever!

Water injection is virtually a must in any roots type supercharger application, the kits have really come a long way in quality over the past two years.

To start things off for fuel I'll be using Snow performance boost juice 51% Water 49% Methanol, highest effective concentration for injection

Theres a number of companies now that have a similar product, Devils own calls it the brew, and Coolingmist has one now too.

Snow Performance Nitro Boost mixed in with the Boost Juice at a 12.5% (1/8th) Concentration


The base of the kit will be the Labonte Motorsports kit, they actually make the kits for Snow

150psi pump and all the needed hosing and fittings all 100% Methanol Compliant, I'll be ditching the Solenoid in favor of a more reliable checkvalve

Progressive Control is the way to go and I'll be using the VC-MAF


As mentioned I'll be using a checkvalve from Devil's Own since they are the only ones doing one in a Nickel Finish right now


For the injector I'll be getting that from Coolingmist.com size will be a 2.8 Gallons per hour @ 150 psi (M2)

For safety and monitoring purposes I'm using the IFS-10 - Alcohol Injection Fail Safe from Labonte. This has a an internal flow meter the can measure flow from 100ml/min up to 2.5L/min. It will also shut off things in the event flow drops below acceptable levels to prevent drying out the pump which damages it.


In conjunction with the fail safe unit to get a reading off the flow meter
IFG-20 - Digital Injection Flow Gauge Red


Total Parts cost will prob be around $600-650 and gains should be in the 30-50whp range, I'm considering getting a more sophisticated controller and 220psi pump for better atomization but I haven't decided yet. I'll prob also want a custom tank for the mixture.

The uber controller

It's elaborate and completely unnecessary! I myself like to keep things simple, functional, and easy to fix if something breaks, plus mine works just as well as that (except I don't have a fancy gauge telling me mine is spraying), but I do know its working because I can smell it when I get out of the car!

Something tells me you're going to be in for a little disappointment.

I think no one would go n2o if a 1.50 bottle of washer fluid would see the same gains >.<

boost juice is useless

running more than a 50/50 mix is dangerous, pretty much any company will state that about the kits

I like the peace of mind of just pouring it in then driving away

i run a 75/25 mix day in and day out.

methanol has a flash point of 185 degree's.

it burns clear.

this is why you do not run straight meth.

i wouldnt say its a "must" on every roots supercharged car


virtually NONE of the grand prix guys use it.. and they are getting into the 11s on the stock blower... 9s on a turbo. only a select few have used it and were still in the 13s because it is a tuning nightmare

the lsj ecm is a lot easier to tweak and mold to the users desires than the gtp ecm set up.

it's not a tuning nightmare. just take out 25% of the fuel, and add 4 degree's of timing and be done
