I installed the Water/Meth Kit by Snow Performance last night and i gotta say it feels like there is a little more torque.

This stuff is awesome. After a bit of spirited driving, I pop the hood and the elbow of the supercharger is cold, and the intake manifold is only slightly warm.

Today is about 75-78 degrees out and the car felt so much more consistant. Usually it feels like it boggs down because of heat soak. but not anymore.

after a bit of spirited driving i floored it from a stand still with VSA off, lost traction in the beginning then chirped a bit at 4000 RPMS and then again at 6500 RPMS. that was all first gear.


Thanks Paul for being a guinea pig on this. great stuff!

Im glad you like it too. Check my mph out on this run. I adjusted the pump a little = smallest jet 175, and 2 - 3 turns down from max on the pump.
My time from the track tonight
13.71 at 104.29 mph 60' 2.16

My next guinea pig project is NX 35 shot.
Got everything in the mail the other day.
Hoping to achieve a 12.99 at 110mph.
Expect a 13.3 - 13.4 at 108 mph.

where can i get this snow performance cooler?

you guys need to stop posting stuff like this, it makes me want it, and also making me broke!! lol!!!!

I agree, I don't have a charger but all these extras just make me drool over having one!!!

how do you know when you are at full pump pressure? doesn't seem like there is a stopping point when i turn with the allen wrench

againstallodds1

Turn it clockwise really slow, it will get to a point when it gets harder. I have turned mine too much too, but it is not stripped. If you keep turning it and it wont stop, then back off 2 -3 turns and it should be good. Than is what I did.

Hey...this thing is a must have in my eyes! Especially with times like that! WOW!

what mixture did you use? I've been using straight methanol and like the results.

againstallodds1

I heard adding too much octane can cause a loss in power.

How often do you need to refill it?

I don't suscribe to that theory, it's nonsense.




I use my windshield washer tank which holds about a half gallon. I can usually go a month or two on a tank. about 1000-1500 miles is my consumption. It last a really long time, but my car is not a daily driver. A lot depends on when it comes on and how often. It's a good bang for the buck and doesn't hurt the engine or componets. If you use the windshield tank, be sure not to use straight methanol to clean your windshield, it is a corrosive to paint and body parts. I plug up the line to the spray nozzels for the windshield in case I inadvertly activate it.

I heard it makes the windshield wipers go really really fast.

i've been using 30/70 meth/water

once i get it tuned i'll start using 50/50 meth/water, which is recommended.

how are u tuning? via what EMS?

i'm surprised you arent tuning for this. Generally with water injection, you need to advance the ignition a bit since it slows down the initial burn rate -- the keyword is initial. u wont get the full potential of water/meth without tuning done to advance ignition to really harness its benefits.

Realize that methanol can eat away rubber so you should check things like lines that see boost.

Dude, get some drag radials up front with the 35 shot you should hit 12's. Your mph are pretty damn good.

Straight methanol makes more power period. No need for water when talking performance.

againstallodds1

I have BF goodrich Drag Radials on the fronts. I also had a 50 shot. The weather and humidity have not been on my side, its been 80*-90* with 100% humidity constantly. My best time was 13.12 at 107mph. My best mph was at 108. Also the 4th gear is killing me when I go through the traps. It is just too tall. Everything dies off as soon as I kick into 4th. I am just waiting till better weather to try again. I will be able to get a 12.9? just when the weather is on my side.

againstallodds1

I dont think straight methanol will be a good idea, maybe I am wrong but for our car who knows. Without any tuning it wont be that good. You cant advance the timimg on our cars, so using straight methanol might not be good. But I am not 100% sure on this either

I hate cars

It looks like you guys are using water/meth as strictly a cooler and not a detonation suppressant/octane booster. In this case hands down methanol will make more power. I have page after page of inlet temps post turbo with every mix of alky/water, straight meth, straight water. Methanol blows water away at cooling the intake charge. Water will actually cost a little power since it doesn't burn unless you're turning the boost up/increasing the timing to take advantage. If you can safely run straight methanol in your system you won't be disappointed.
