Methanol kit

[Jackson1320]

Well, since my car isn't driven in the rain or winter, the washer tank sounds like a easy set up. Thanks

Even if you drive in rain and winter you can use the washer fluid tank. In the event of a emergency (or you just don’t care about price)the windshield washer still works perfect

Thanks for all the great input guys.
I got the Snow stage 2.5 kit for the Mustang (with the throttle body spacer for injection) and installed it over the weekend.

I used the windshield washer tank as that was much more convenient than mounting in the trunk. The car already has a low washer fluid light so didn't need to install the one that came with the kit.
Using the 10 GPH nozzle set to come on at 4 psi and max at 7psi (max boost about 10 psi) but will play around on the dyno to find the best injection points.

Overall great kit from Snow. Hopefully reliability is great as well

I have not had any problems with my 2.5 kit. I’m setup almost exactly the same

Isn't your nozzle far upstream?

That is true since meth would definitely clear snow and ice from windshield. How long do you expect it to last like on a spirted street ride as some people say, or numerous WOT driving like I do.

A full tank will last a month of normal driving for me. You will not go through a full tank in one day. A lot of hard drives and you might use it up in a week

Right after the intercooler. I mean using the washer fluid tank. I think the throttle body is to late to start injecting

For mixing and distribution, it was recommended by several on here to move the nozzle as far upstream as possible. I put mine about a foot Infront of the throttle body. The vortech kits have the maf about 1.5 feet in front of the throttle body. I believe the PC the mad is in the intercooler and those guys are running the nozzle just after the IC.

Right at the TB is probably not ideal. Do you have the IAT sensor in the manifold?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Did some further reading and injecting post TB seems too late as some of you guys have mentioned.
I'll be getting a fitting for my IC - TB charge pipe and inject as far pre TB as I can (but post MAF).

I believe it will also be beneficial to relocate my IAT sensor (currently in MAF housing I believe) post meth injection to get true IATs after injection.
Can someone verify that this will work? Thanks

Might try to install the new IAT sensor somewhere on the intake manifold right after the TB

That will work, on my thread I have picture of the relocation as does Solar flare.

Thanks, I took a look at your thread and will install in the PCV location as well

Yes that sensor works. Gotta tell tuner so he changes transfer function. Car will typically show a more elevated temp as compared to before until you go WOT

You can make a iat breakout harness for about $15 or buy one for around $80-100

Pardon my ignorance but does this "transfer" the IAT sensor in the MAF to wherever I install it or is it a new IAT sensor completely meaning I'll have two IAT readings (IAT1 and IAT2)?
Right now on my Ngauge my IAT shows the expected value (5 above ambient or so) while my IAT2 shows as -40 which I assume means it's not functional/no IAT2 sensor

Also am I correct in assuming the elevated temp readings are from taking the readings closer to the engine block?

Do you know where I can find instructions for that?
I haven't got the faintest idea where to begin except I'll need a temperature sensor, some MAF connectors, and some wires

The car currently reads IAT from the MAF, you need the tune to change to recognize where to get IAT (that is my understanding). Yes it is hotter due to being in the intake manifold. I think mine was about 10 degrees hotter than it had been; maybe less. Good news was though the meth comes on and the temp would drop and stabilize, never did much more than a dig from 3rd through 4th. I haven't gotten a chance to go run it again at the track but will hopefully soon.

Here's my IAT sensor in the #8 manifold runner as Lund recommended. My meth nozzles are located in the charge tube, about 4" after the MAF sensor (I'm running the GT350 tube).

You'll only have 1 reading, its broken out of the maf harness to then be read by the new sensor in the manifold. Higher temp comes from being in the manifold, closer to the engine with lack of air flow when TB is mostly closed.
