Thinking about adding a Meth injection kit to my project. Currently have a LQ4 w/ Howard Cam ( 216/224 Lift .550 114 +4) with a Procharger D1SC (4.38 pulley) running about 9 psi. Gives me a solid 440 to the wheels on a safe tune. the 4.56 gears make it fun since I am on 35" tires. Since we had to disable knock sensors during tuning ( kept getting false knock signals) and I live in the Memphis heat, Ive been thinking about adding a Meth injection kit. would like to run about 12-13 psi total ( say keep it under 15 ). Figure adding a kit would help keep it safe running a few more PSI and help get a few more HP's. Any suggestions on which kit? Seems Snow and Alky Control are the 2 favorites. Any specific kit? Should I run pure meth or meth/h20?

TIA

I'd say either of those kits would be just fine, it doesn't have to be super fancy.

I'd honestly just run washer fluid that is -20 or -30 because meth is kinda spendy. Last time I looked it up it was like $50 for 4 gallons of boost juice or whatever it's called. The -30 washer fluid is $4 a gallon and does the job good enough.

 

I really like the alky control kits. Out of all the water/meth kits I've installed that's the only brand I've never had a failure out of.

I also agree with him about using windsheild washer fluid. I ran Peak -30*F fluid (MSDS states it to be 38% methanol) for over 10 years in my turbo truck and it did a very good job keeping everything cool and clean inside engine.

 

I ran a Snow performance kit in my diesel using just washer fluid and never had an issue. It didn’t solve my egt issues but it held them down longer and the power was noticeable.

 

Thanks all, I see Alky Control has a kit that replaces my current windshield washer fluid reservoir. I wonder if that is the way to go or a kit with stand alone 2 gallon reservoir. How long does a gallon usually last? good to know about the -30 wiper fluid. I have about 6 gallons sitting in the garage now.

It really depends on how you drive. Ive gone thru 3 gallons in one day and ive also had 3 gallons last me a few weeks.
I was towing all the time so i was burning thru it pretty often. I had 3 gallon tank in my toolbox and it worked out good..

 

It only sprays when under boost correct at the psi i set it to come in on? Then really it should only be spraying at every stop sign and on ramp

 

Isn't there a way to make your wiper fluid reservoir also you alky control res too? That way you can still use the wipers?

 

Why not just run e85?

 

Memphis maybe has 1 or 2 stations at the most that carry it. None out where I live, plus Tennessee as whole they are few and far between. Easier to find non-ethanol gas than it is E85 out here
