I know Tstone, 100%METH and Euthanasia have done it. Perhaps they will chime in with numbers.

They don't necessarily take more. It's just what people have done to make power instead of having/using E85.

No kidding it wouldn't flood your motor going through a filter first. And 3gph is nothing to spray. I sprayed 14gph in my supercharger set up post throttle body. And yes you can hydro lock a motor with meth.

You missed the point of the comment. I was comparing standing water being taken in (which you asserted), to water that is misted to a lower micron that the absolute rating of your air filter (reinforcement of a comment made by poster above you which you were refuting). I do not see anywhere me mentioning running it through an air filter. I have mounted to top of the cone of an air filter before, but that is beside the point.

it's like saying


and



are the same.

I am not denying that you "can" hydrolock a motor with water/meth. Most hydrolocks from the 10+ water/meth forums I am on are due to install error. Improper wiring, bad nozzle location, wrong choice of nozzle, use outside parameters, etc. None of which are the fault of the kit.

Old trick that works but the naysayers scare most away. When you do the math there is not much water that makes it in each cylinder when it's reved.

I was not comparing them one in the same. I was replying them to the 2 highlighted comments in your first post.

First you say you can't hydro lock a motor with water/meth and now you say you "can" at fault of the meth kit. That's what riceburner started this talk up with. His meth staying on.

Checked twice, still not seeing where I said you can't. Please quote where I made this statement, as I am obviously missing it. I simply refuted your comment comparing water/meth to CAI water ingestion.

Bluelighting how did you make that pressure switch to let you know when the pump is working and where did you put the light at?

I ran the AEM kit and it came with a wiring schematic. The controller controlled the LED.. here's the schematic




But you can wire the LED in parallel with the pump power. That'd be the best way to do it.
If you don't understand that ^^ then let me know, i'll make a picture for you.

I just bought a pressure switch that I could cut and plug the meth hose into both sides. Then run the wiring to an led light inside my car. So when the pump kicked on the pressure switch would send power to the light.

Ya my meth kit isn't fancy like tstone's haha

Here's my quick little schematic of how to wire in the LED... The A and C mark the anode and cathode end of the LED. The anode is the longer lead of the LED and goes on the positive side. The cathode is the shorter lead and goes on the ground side like in the picture

Yes. Often referred to as a Hobbs Switch



Wait.. is that what kind of pressure switch you guys are talking about?

The only downfall to just tapping into power like your diagram is the light will tell you if the pump is getting power but not if it's actually pumping.

Mine has the quick connect fittings on it for the meth line and I placed it in between the pump and nozzle. So pump kicks on and triggers the switch.

Idk he had just said a pressure switch which sounds like a good idea cause then he will know when meth is going through it and sounds easy to do and so does your route. Ive read a lot of good reviews on devils on how good there products hold up but they dont come with the low meth light and a flow meter... is the flow meter the same thing as we are talking about? the pressure light? and how hard is it to make a low level light? honestly i dont think it necessary cause i can just look at the tank and see how much meth i have but just in case i think it might be nice to have.

Nason adjustable Pressure Switch
Is this what i need?

Soooooo
I have the Snow kit, can I use like a 3gph nozzle for IAT cooling purposes only ?
To help cool the hot charge I get from having water to air at the strip ?
Like maybe 20 degrees or more.....

Thanks

This is how coolingmist did their failsafes in the late 90's and early 00's.
