I read the post on AIS website about windshield washer fluid and all, but Im wondering, does anyone have a specific "brand" or place they buy their windshield washer fluid? Thanks.

What did everyone wire their pump to if you mounted in the trunk?

Peaks very popular. If you can't get Peak there are plenty other brands (some generic) which you can also use. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sure it will. Our stage 1 type systems use an adjustable diaphragm boost switch that can be adjusted to activate between 1-25 psi. The switch is adjusted using a 5/64" allen wrench.

Why do you ask?

I have a question that might've been asked, but there's a lot of pages here. What is the word on possibilities of corrosion in the intake/supercharger/cylinders with water/meth injection? Specifically when running higher ratios of water.

I have heard of mixtures running a water soluble oil additive to help protect from this.

Sounds like you were adjusting pump pressure switch and not the boost switch. Do you know for sure that your were adjusting the boost pressure switch. They both have the same size Allen screw.

No problems with corrosion within the intake or cylinders and no need for additives in the water methanol mix either. These pumps are designed for water and alcohol. If you use a petroleum type lubricants it will cause the pump to fail and will not be covered under warranty.

well i couldn't figure out which screw was which so i unscrewed both, and went from there on a few test runs. got it spraying at 7-8psi now. stage 1 trunk mount.

would adjusting the pressure switch be bad for it? i tightened it back down after unscrewing it..

couldn't find -20* washer fluid right now. had a gallon of 0* in the garage (pure blue ****, no additives, what-so-ever. and 2 bottles of HEET (yellow bottles) so i put that in. car feels like a new machine.

Sounds like you were adjusting pump pressure cut off switch. This is the switch which shuts the pump off once it reaches a certain pressure. You'll notice the pump will cycle (pulsate) much slower (when activated) as this screw is backed out further and further. Our pumps come preset at 150 psi. Sounds like you backed the screw out quite a ways significantly lowering pump pressure below below 100 psi.

Looking at this picture below. Center in the middle of the picture is the nipple for the boost line. Just beneath it is a round circular column which extends out and has a round hole in its center. Inside that hole is the adjusting screw for setting the pump pressure cut off switch.

Now at the very top of the screw you have a red wire with a blue female slider connector connected to a male terminal post. just behind it is a small hole with another screw in it. This is your adjusting screw for the boost switch. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

If you look closely you will notice the resin around the base of the boost switch which we used to connect it to the pump. That is a completely separate piece. The boost switch is actually epoxied to the pump pressure switch which by coincidence both happen to have the same size adjusting screw.

It's not necessarily bad to adjust the pump pressure. It's just not needed as the pump pressure is already set for you. if you have turned the pump screw back in you should be just fine now.

[QUOTE=RedEcotecSS;3394767]Took a pic inside my intake.. Is this how the nozzle is supposed to look?

No, the nozzle is designed to thread in from the outside of your steel piping. You have it threaded from the inside out, connected to the nozzle holder. Just as you received the nozzle assembly as we sent it to you (assembled) is how it is to be installed. Also, it looks like you removed the o-ring and moved it to the other side as well. The o-ring is suppose to be on outlet side (tip of the nozzle with less threads) as shown below.
