Something else to think about. When I spoke to Steve at SMC earlier today he did mention that he had installed systems before using the washer fluid tank because of it's large capacity (a gallon or so) and then added a small 1 quart or so tank to hold windshield washer fluid. The idea being that it better to run out of washer fluid that meth.

 

that is not bad idea if i cant use one bottle for both.

 

Call Julio at Alky Control. He'll fix you up with what you need. Bottom line: who needs a wiper washer?

 

Julio (Alky Controll) supplies a stock truck windshield washer tank with a fitting to attach the meth supply line to. You take your stock tank out and replace it with the one he supplies that is clean to start out with. You can hook your washers back up and spray your windshield with your meth mix if you like or do without windshield washers. Some people have added a small secondary tank to hook the windshield washers up to and Julio has a small tank that will do that job for you.

 

I do, I have this clean windshield fetish

 

any thoughts on the idea of using the meth like fuel to make a "dry" n2o system into a "wet" system.
to elaborate...i have a 35 dry shot going into the intake tube before the throttlebody on the radix that has a 2.8" pulley and is pushing 11.5psi. If i use the meth in addition to the dry shot should i be able to pull some fuel out of the tune. Right now i run rich unless the n2o is spraying, so, my thought is to pull that fuel back out and make it up w/ the meth and have the meth spray come on w/ the n2o, which comes on w/ a boost reference switch at 1.5psi.
Am I off base here?
Thanks!

 

I think that you will need to replace any fuel that you pull out of the tune with about twice the amount of methanol that you inject and you will need a very reliable methanol injection system.

The stochiometric ratio (14.6:1 for air/gasoline) is more than double that of methanol (6.45:1 for air/methanol).

This is from AJ6 Superchargers Alcohol, usually in the form of Methanol, is an oxygenated compound (50% O2 by weight) which has a stoichiometric A/F ratio of 6.45:1 and an octane rating in excess of 115 RON permitting use of higher compression ratios. Maximum power is obtainable at the very rich A/F ratio of around 4:1 so the usable specific energy (3 x 19.9 = 59.7) is much higher than gasoline, although of course fuel consumption will be dramatically increased.

 

i do understand that it takes 2x as much methanal to = x amount of fuel...i just have to figure out how to equate the numbers i pull out to a volume / unit of time that i can compare to the meth injection....also since the n2o is boost referenced, it might help to get off of the MAF and tune w/ speed density.
Other than that, you response makes it sound like my train of thought is on the right track.
Thanks...any more input?

 

Yeah ...take it easier on your tranny....

 

Speak with Julio. I think he has a lot of this figured out. Not sure about the N2O part but that is how he tunes his ride by pulling fuel and adding meth. I am sure he will be able to help you with the tuning question and how to best control the meth injection.
