Pictorial on Installing a Labonte Motorsports Water Methanol Kit

[Redfox0099]

So I have been asked to do a write up on my Water Methanol install so here it is:

Kit I got:


Start by taking the front fascia off the car:


A good place to install the pump is to the Radiator support right next to the wind shied wiper bottle especially if you plan on using the 1 gallon wiper bottle as a storage location for your water methanol (it is completely safe to use as windshield wiper fluid on your windows also because wiper fluid IS water methanol.)

Drill 4 holes in the support and mount the pump, you can mount the pump any direction but this one seemed to be best:




Run the supply line from the bottom of the wiper reservoir bottle to the pump (locate your hole in the wiper bottle below the top sensor as that is your factory installed low fluid level indicator and it will flash on your dash when you get low:







Solenoid Location on headlight support:



I ran the line from the pump to the solenoid thru the bumper to the other side of the car to protect it. From the solenoid I ran the tubing along the radiator support to the CAI:




For my vacuum line I t-ed into the hose in the front of the intake and used a size adapter to connect the hoses:


My Control box is mounted next to the brake booster under the access panel so it is out of the way and not in direct heat or water:


The RPM signal for the yellow wire is connected to a the #7 injector:


Green Pump on Indicator is located in the barrel of my RPM Gauge on the dash.



That is pretty much it, a little wiring to do since there are 4 wires going to the control box (Power, ground, RPM signal, Signal out to pump and to Solenoid).

You can get power from the cigarette lighter but be sure to put a in line fuse on your power wire.

NAthan did u use the pwr from ur cigg lighter? If so can u show the in line fuse location? How does that clip tap into the wire on the #7 injector? Do I need to cut the wire to make it work?

Great write up BTW.. I'll be using it tomorrow for sure.

The in line fuse in under my dash wired in line to my gauges/water-methanol kit...it is just an in line 20 amp fuse nothing special.

The clip is a T-clip, I wanted to strip back some of the wire and solder the wire on but I am having a lot of trouble with my solder gun so I didn't do it. It does not cut the wire it simply clips onto it and the spade from the other wire plugs into it...it does not damage the wire like some of the splices I have seen.

The wiring goes through the firewall up by the brake booster where the water-methanol controller is located under the access panel in the cowl, there is a place there the wires feed though.


Call me if you get stuck.

I got the TACH signal from here:


If they can't figure it out have them call me.

[leveil22]

so will mine be the 5th injector?

[Redfox0099]

You can get the signal from any injector...I just picked the 7th cylinder.
