I know this is not a Nitrous install but I've talked with a coulpe of members about Meth and some installs..I just wanted to post some pics....
Really not to clear in the pic but I've mounted the Meth Pump on the frame of the car(front end needs to come off)...

Next pic is where I mounted the Labonte Meth Controller(VC-A10)..Its mounted on the bracket near the fuse/relay box is...Along with a FULL bottle of meth(My factory windshield bottle)..IMO this is a great way carry more Meth and a great way to tell when you are running out(the light in my dash will come)...

guess your using the methanol as a safety measure and not for extra power?
thats what we do on all out turbo cars at least....more boost=more meth

.. u can add more timing w/out getting knock w/this which means more pwr correct? In other words a more agressive tune per say!
Where can I get one and how much are they?

Basically Yes.
The water cools your intake charge dropping it by as much as 30 degrees, the Methanol increases your octane rating by 40 points I think it was. You have to tune for it to really see the benefit but Yes you can run allot more timing witch will make your engine more efficient = better MPG and more power.

Well if you run out of windshield washer fluid the detonation isn't good your the motor. The water is good because it will clean out all your carbon buildup and keep the cylinders clean.

It really depends on how much your foot is on the pedal...Mine is ALWAYS on and running...I also have it to only spray over 3500-4000rpms...So if I'm just chillin' or cruising it won't spray...I'm using the factory washer bottle for Meth so it'll last me awhile til my next fill-up..I really can't give a real answer on how long it will last because I don't drive my SRT everyday...

Goof ball.
If you have a race tune for no knock sensors and higher timing run it when you get to the track. My street tune is not tuned for Water/Meth in case:
1. I run out (even though I keep a gallon jug in the back and I have never even run low)
2. Some thing fails
Street tune not tuned for water/meth for everyday, race tune for the track.

I ran my car to Ohio and back on mostly 87 octane with no real issues..average 80 mph. I am doing a writeup on it and will post it once I am done tonight....87 octane on a 10.6:1 comression motor for highway driving is a nice alternative to 93 octane, saved me .20 a gallon.

So is there a threshold as to how much is too much methanol being used or a certain rpm that is too low? Could running it too often or too low cause problems? Just curious, this seems pretty neat.
Redfox0099
06-18-2008, 07:00 PM
If you spray too low you will bog the motor and it will probably stall out, mine starts around 2800 RPM.
I spray 50/50 Distilled Water/Methanol.

Mr J., there's not an extra $15 handling fee on Boost Juice, at least with us. It's good stuff but not something I would spend money on to run all the time. Typically, running the standard 50/50 washer fluid will be just fine. If you are racing or on the dyno, you might spend the money for the Boost Juice.
We'll have a new, more powerful and potent, fluid soon, too!!
From what I was told the Labonte Motorsports Kit and Snow the kit are the same companies.
Here's the short version ... years ago, Snow was selling a water/meth kit that did not have a controller. Labonte enters the scene to help and develops the controller and produces them for Snow. A falling out occurs last year between Snow and Labonte (that I won't go into here as it's not for me to publicize "dirt" like that) and Snow continues to produce their controller and markets under their name with their kit. Snow continues with a new controller supplier. We have been a Snow dealer for years, but hooked up with Labonte and have worked with them on a few upcoming products and taken our car to display in their vendor booth. Good people!
Um Paul...don't you work at a place that sells this :)

If your not tuned for the octane increase then no, you won't see any HP gains. Just like running a higher octane in a car not setup for it you won't see any benefit. What I plan to do is run the Diablo 93 octane tune with 87 gas and maybe add some more timing into the 93 tune. Will see, I'm going to start with baby steps and data log as I go. My goal is to see some HP and MPG increase on 87 gas.

We incorporated water/meth in our turbo designs from the beginning over two years ago. You can use it to simply reduce combustion temps and reduce the amount of retard needed, or you can get extreme and get a purpose made tune just for higher concentrations and run even more timing. Of course all other parameters regarding fueling must be addressed.
You must look carefully at the windshield washer fluid label. Many places in the US cut out all the methanol during the summer for VOC reduction. Look carefully at the label, it must say that it protects down to at least -20 to -30 degrees F.
In the summer many fluids will state that it protects down to 30 degrees which means no methanol content, DON'T USE IT!
A -30 mixture is somewhere between 40% and 50% methanol with the rest distilled water plus the lovely blue dye.
You can pick up the small bottles of HEET gas line antifreeze at the auto parts store which is pure methanol to spike up your mixture. You can also check with your local paint store as they sell pure methanol in 1 - 5 gallon cans. Industrial supply vendors are another good place to check.
NEVER EVER use the pink, orange, purple, green, or other funky colored fluid as these are a bug mix with detergent in them. They will quickly clog your spray head.
Remember, methanol is a deadly poison if taken internally, keep it away from pets, kids, or anyone else that might possibly consume it. It is also (in a pure state) not the best thing for your paint either. Yes it is very flammable in a pure state as well.
When mounting your pump, try to mount it in a vertical position (head down). The Sure-Flo pump designs used in nearly all systems sometime have a tendency to seep a small amount around the head to pump motor seal. While this is rare, methanol can be corrosive (not to mention the water) and we have seen one pump fail mounted on it's side where seepage made it's way into the electric motor internals. Best just to keep the head turned down.
Ditch the screws that come with the kits, pick up some #10 hex head self drilling screws for metal siding (they are hardened) about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch long so you can use your drill driver to screw them into the metal structure which is pretty hard itself. You can drill a hole, but you will have a hard time trying to get that sheet metal screw to thread into the metal without stripping or worse breaking off.
Snow electronics are designed and manufactured by Labonte with a Snow label on them. Biggest difference is in the spray head fittings, and the Labonte kits (which we now use) if ordering a standard kit come with an isolation solenoid to prevent siphoning into the intake tract if the fluid container is above the level of the spray nozzle.
When cutting the feed lines, use a razor blade to make as straight a cut as possible. An angled or distorted end will run the risk of not sealing properly in the push on connector. If removing the line from the connector, simply push inward on the orange, black, or grey plastic ring and slip the line out. Do not try to pull the ring outward as you will ruin the connector body.
Best mounting location is behind the front fascia on the LX body in the area where the old air box was located on the outside of the frame rail as seen in one of the pictures in the posts above.
I do NOT like to use a punch to make a drill point starting point on the frame rail as you must remember that you have airbag triggers located in proximity of where you are going to be beating on a punch with a hammer. For extra security, disconnect your battery and let it bleed off by connecting the positive and negative cable ends (both off the battery of course) together for a few seconds.
Hope this helps.

Even on a factory tune, a small amount of spray will decrease the likely hood of the PCM pulling timing. It will clean out your combustion chambers and get rid of that nasty carbon crap that seems to build up on your piston tops and cylinder head.
An excessive amount of carbon build up can create hot spots leading to pre ignition under load, and in extreme cases even start to raise compression ratios slightly as chamber volume decreases.

The way I see it, the water/meth alone doesnt make any noticeable difference, but it allows one to add more and more performance mods safely.
I can tell you this though. I am now commuting an hour each way to work. I used to get 12/15 mpg with a somewhat modded car and now I get 15/18 mpg with a turbo/water/meth kit. I love it!

With a turbo in steady state non boosted driving, it does help to increase engine efficiency as the motor does not have to "suck" as hard to get air in as the compressor wheel even when not in boost is still feeding air to the intake.
Whenever water flashes to steam, it uses a significant amount of heat energy to cause a phase change from water to steam. The expanding steam also exerts a slight amount of driving force down on the piston top so some efficiency gains can be realized there even if very slight.
There is some interesting reading on a six stroke engine design that supplements the combustion process by injecting purified water into the hot combustion chamber creating a steam cycle stroke which greatly increases the fuel efficiency. It also cools the engine so that the radiator cooling system can actually be eliminated.
Bruce Crower of Crower Cams is working on a modern version. Here is a link to it in Wikipedia.

The water/methanol injecting will cool your intake even on a stock tune...cooler intake leads to less pulled timing...less pulled timing makes more power.

Ok so with this meth injected, it raises your octane obviously right? How many points?
About 20+ points increase. So with 91 octane in the tank with the water meth your looking at 120 octane ish fuel.

Holy sh*t thats sick. I wonder how long it lasts ( a full washer bottle tank full ) if you run it above lets say 2500 rpms. Sounds like a nice cheap way to race fuel.

^^^ Wow...I get alot of PM's about Meth/Water (Since I think I was the first to start using it on an N/A LX motor on the forum)... So I decided to just start a thread with some useful info,install pics and some insight on Meth/Water and someone wants to go Trolling...
On a better note it is good to see some other Vendors on the Forum and Tech's jump in to explain in detail and their experience w/ Meth/Water in general...:thumbs_u:

I run mine at 3500-4000rpms(couldn't hold the gas pedal steady enough to be exactly on 3500 so its in between),to me that is like WOT...I think 2500 might be too low..I'm sure you don't want to spray Meth if you are just chillin' or cruising...Than again you can have a on/off switch...Mine is installed to run ALL the time over those certain Rpm's...

Sounds good, is your car a daily driver? How often do you have to refill your washer bottle tank?

Its not a Daily Driver...But I have drive it for two days straight last week and used about a good 12oz. bottle worth with me in WOT some of the time :mrgreen: (more than half)...I know this for a fact because thats what I used to top my washer bottle back off with...
Keep in mind our washer bottle can hold alot of fluid if thats what you are using...

You can use a seperate tank if that is a concern, I am not using the washer res..I am using a seprerate tank mounted in the trunk, that is how we have done it on all our installs over the years.
The kits come with a small resevoir but there are several upgraded tank sizes.

I believe Red said 2800-3000 RPM was the lowest the controller would allow you to come in at. Tank, if you set the system too low to kick in, it will bog down your motor. The controller is perversive so you probably want it to start at around 3000 at 10% spray. You can select both when you want the spray to start and how much spray to start.
Im looking to spend less at the pump so I am going to run 87 with the water meth so I should have around 110 octane and I can still use the diablo 91 or 93 octane tune.

2800 is not the lowest, it is just where I have it and what I recommend as the lowest point.

So with this stuff. For a daily driver if you have it set to come on say WOT is the setting for like 3500 and above it will keep spraying tell you back off the gas?? How big of a change dose it make if you put 87 gas in there and run the 93 tune? Dose it give a kick or anything?

Hey guys I ordered a kit, and I had some things come up that I need to make this go away... I bought the wife a ML350 and a Nav unit from ebay and I bought myself some Dynaudio components that i prolly should not have, and powdercoated my maggy wheels...
SO that being said I need to get out of my order for now.
15% off and I got the controller, the extra spray nozzle, and the kit. It would come to like $355 shipped.
Let me know by email or pm

You want the 50/50 water/methanol one. Just check the bottle to be sure you get that mixture. Some are 50/50 and others aren't so that's the easiest way.
We have the water/meth kits for you, too.

i dont understand either. its not like its an extra cost to the shipper, because a APO is actually a stateside address. as long as the package is not over 70 pounds there is no problem. its not like we are asking the companies to bend over backwards to have something shipped to us in other countries, because its just as easy to send to APO as it is any other address. THANKS ALOT BMC you will see my business....

Sorry, I am bored.
As for making sure you get the correct mixture for your water/Methanol I recommend doing what I and others do for our water/methanol setups....mix your own.

I think it's because some companies ship only UPS since they get big discounts on shipping and have guaranteed tracking, etc.

I agree! Companies should do anything they can to support those who serve, so we ship however the customer wants. You're very welcome and I'll keep track of this thread, but feel free to shoot me a PM or call 877-BMC-RWHP (or catch our Live Help on www.bmcperformance.com). You're going to LOVE the water/methanol!!

I have wired up a couple Labonte Kits but not one of the Snow Kits(yet)...Looking at the Snow kit thou its almost identically as the Labonte just by looking at it...Most of the W/Meth kits out on the market are pretty straight forward and easy to do..The biggest thing is figuring out where you want everything mounted and ran...
