Meth install problems.. before and after
so i raced 09cobaltss1 before i added meth. we were dead even (maybe a half car by him.
(mods trifecta tunes 24 psi both cars. only difference i had a hahn ic and him on the stock ic).
The night after i installed the meth kit i raced the same car again and nothing changed at all.WTF. I changed my normal trifecta tune (23.5 psi, 12.1 a/f ratio, 14 degrees of timing) to byt/tf tune 26 psi, 19 degrees of timing, 13.0 a/f ratio. with basically no results.
-I had cel for bpv (p2261) and the rear o2 sensor.
-Also, i drove the car hard the whole day then stright to racing him. IDK if oil temps were sky rocketed and i had another 300 lbs on him with the other passanger plus me.
-the diaprham on the inside of the bpv is ripped. and the tuner byt said that is the problem.
im just really confused whats going on. I read on here other people having issues with boost leaks while adding the meth. the diaphram is on national back order and **** sucks right now.
i wanna solve this.

just normal -20 auto zone ****. i read some where that normal -20 is 30% meth and 70% water. then you need to add four qts of heet to make it 50/50.. but im only running 30/70
Outside of the possible boost leak you may be running to much water with that setup. I ran 75/25 on my S/C and my buddy out here runs 90/10 on his T/C. You need to find a shop that sells methanol and then cut it down with distilled water yourself.

There's nothing wrong with using windshield wiper fluid that has no detergents (the cheap stuff). If you add 3 bottles of yellow heet, you're at 50/50. You're probably spraying WAAAAAY too much like most people do at first. 13.0 and then consider the extra fuel from the meth. Did you data log? I bet its running insanely rich. I wouldn't run more than a 3 or 4 gph nozzle.
What psi are you starting at?

not tonight man.. laptop is in the truck and I'm about to hit the sack. Plus I'd like to run some better logs than what I have.
I think I'm free tomorrow if you want to head down here. If not then maybe this weekend

Hey pookie,I was buying my meth/water from snow performance when I was running the kit on my z-24 with the blower,big difference between that and regular washer stuff.I ordered a case which is 6 one gallon jugs.
Id prefer you didn't post logs of my tunes thanks lol..
And the BPV tear is an obvious problem, I don't know why you keep trying to race people with a broken car lol. Fix it, we'll meet up and check the tune and you'll be good to go.

im running a 80/20. no tune but i can def tell a difference when it sprays. feels like a smoother powerband
you do have a LED light that lets you know when it turns on right?
