If you prefer to shoot windshield washer cleaner in your engine go for it, id rather buy a complete kit for the peace of mind

go to snowperformance.com they sell the W/M injection. they have 2 different kits you can get. one that just comes on and off and one that is for boosted applications. that deliver W/M dependent on boost. how ever you set it. just take a look they make great stuff.

Whats wrong with windshield washer formula? typically its a mixture of methanol and water, Oh and don't forget the coloring.

I'll be ordering my kit this comming week. For me it was a toss up between the Alkycontrol unit and Devils own. I decided to go with the Devils own since i'll only be doing a 50/50 mix and not straight up alky.

i'll post up some more info once i install and tune with the kit.

Guy out here in kissimmee has a dart 5.0 with twin gt25r's Uses the washer fluid mix. Car is sick fast. 550whp on low boost and something around 800 at15psi(if I remember correctly). He said he ran 8.80's on it. I was thinking about it on my sohc that I will be upper the boost to bout 300whp when I ditch my 15g.

shameless plug I have a water/alky kit for sale https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1525333
It got rid of the heatsoak in my jrsc. I never got a chance to run methanol. I'm getting out of the car scene.

I just ordered a Water/Alk kit from coolingmist.com, comes with the 150psi pump and dual nossles for 500+hp, it was $300.... not a bad deal, cant wait to boost 20+psi on the street with a 67mm turbo

is ithe water/meth injected the whole time the car is running? How does it engage exactly?

Can it be controlled by engine management (honata K-Pro) to spray at a certain rpm or boost?

if your running more then 25 psi them im sure coolingmist has a higer pressure solenoid somewhere on their website

I plan on getting the single stage 150psi kit, i am running a stock d on 10lbs and plan to only use water injection

Default Re: water/methanol injection! (mike93boost)

talk to tonythetiger, or 9secteg they both run injection and SWEAR by it. i will be running it on my stock sleeved GSR gt3076...the whole basis of meth injection is that its NOT a power increase on its own like NOS for example..it brings your egt temps down and it allows you to run higher amounts of boost on a lower octane because it is a detonation preventor. so beeing that its a detonation preventor...which as we all know is what makes motors go boom on psi usually(if the tuning/assembly isn't the first problem)...yes it can be activated on an rpm level, or psi level with hondata...i would recomend getting direct port nozels so that you get a nice even spray and just keep in mind that the MOST IMPORTANT THING ON A BOOSTED MOTOR IS A PROPER TUNE!!! but i think with the right kit, you can put down reliable and safe DAILY DRIVEN power. if anything its for piece of mind...at the VERY LEAST it makes running high boost on low octane safer for your motor by preventing detonation...hope this helps! but for more info PM TONY THE TIGER, or 9SECTEG who both have amazing cars with proven results...

I just bought the stg1 coolingmist kit this morning, has the 150psi pump and I got the dual nossle setup and ordered a 1 gallon tank and low level indicator, I am going to engage mine around 12-13 psi and plan to run 22ish psi on the street.
