I would run a 60/40 or 70/30 mix of meth to water in your situation Reign...

I'll be doing a 80/20 or maybe 90/10 mix mainly becuase I don't need the cooling but need the extra fuel with the 2871r

 

im running 100% meth no water

 

ummm thats not good.

 

why not? the kit can handle it and i need the increase in fuel on this 16g upgrade

 

being extreeeeeemmmmlyyyy flammable.


hows ur tune for it? 100% meth makes ur car very rich. and ultimatly need to reduce fueling. since pure methanol is tech a type of fuel. ur switching one fuel for another.

i love meth

I'm trying to understand the kit works.

So if I

Yes that's how it work and that's the kit I bought. And you will need to retune the whole car with the meth kit I don't know if trifecta has a tune out for it though. I have hpt so I increased my timing a little, meth also riches the car out when spraying so I leaned it out a little when the meth kicks on.[/QUOTE]

My tune is good not perfect but its getting there and yes i know it richens it out thats why i lean it out when meth is spraying i said that a couple of post above you

 

i heard that Meth is really coarse for the engine too.

But I need to research that too

 

A few things. 5-7 gph is too big. How much power are you really running? I used to use a 6 gph nozzle on a Labonte progressive injection system on a Legacy GT with a Blouch Dominator 3 (GT 30 in a Subaru fitment). That nozzle was enough for 400 whp. More is not better. If you use a progressive system, it's hard to get a consistent spray during transition periods. I had an 8 gph nozzle in there for a while, and found that it wouldn't spray consistently sometimes.

Also, it is imperative that you tune. If you run WI without tuning, there's a good chance you'll be running way too rich, and may very well be losing power. Either that, or you are going to confuse the ECU, and it will be doing awful things to attempt to compensate.

There are 2 other things that come to mind, and why I haven't considered running meth on this car. First is that this engine loves to run hot. Don't know if cooling it down by an extra 200-300F EGT will be good for it. Secondly, doesn't this car always run in closed loop? I'm not sure it will be easy to account for the extra fuel from the WI system.

Datalog, datalog, datalog. Whatever tune you get might look fine for dyno runs, but it might suck on the street or road course with long transition periods.

Even if you get it tuned. Don't even think about cheapening out and running without a fail safe!!!


The Labonte was good, but if I had to do it all over again, I would go with Aquamist HFS-6.

 

Snow Performance injection kits IMO are probably the best kit out there right now. They are also the most expensive. If we were to do this kit for the LNF, it would probabaly come with the CoolingMist kit.

They are very affordable and I know a lot of the BMW guys use them. They also have a lot of the safety features that you can buy for those who wants piece of mind.

100% meth? Your kidding right?

 

Waste of money, and water cools better than meth.

 

umm $4 a gallon and i waste a gallon a week and race fuel station is 15 minutes away. i mean i know we are in a recession, but damn maybe you shouldnt buy a meth kit in the first place. im not just looking for the cooling mod i need the extra fuel. with the 16g i need all the fuel i can get.

 

wang speed of course water is btr cooling than meth. bc meth is adding fueling and timing. water is to cool it town. hence running more meth than water usually especially with the 91 octane we have out here

and I talked to devils own personally. they said 5-7 GPH was perfect

 

i run 100% meth and my car is fine, runs great, my buddy ran 100% meth on his redline for over a year, and currently runs 100% meth on his 600 wheel tvs sc'd new camaro ss

 

hmm didnt know TVS made a SC for the camaro

 

sure water is cooler then meth but meth is cooler then gas so its not like its hurting anything
