Good info, let's keep it going.

and more ignition advance

Only real downside is you gotta make sure your MAF is far enough away to not get wet.

 

[LinuxRacr]

No MAF for me... Just have to make sure the Haltech air-temp sensor is clear.

 

[JDM Sam]

No MAF FTMFW!

 

[LinuxRacr]

Getting closer to doing this....

Narrowing down my choices. Bump for more experiences?

I want to run a meth setup as well. Essentially I will only be leaning out my Maps correct? I think the best bet are the AEM or the likes that are gradual so that it's not a sudden DUMP where you may end up needing to tune AROUND a sudden dump of Meth. I want an AEM or a Snow kit but the Labonte kits look good as well. There is a Labonte one for sale in the FS that includes the controller and what not. Its new as well. Good luck Pat.

god damn, i placed my injector right in front of maf sensor!! I dont know if the injector is too big or not but I got misfire when the pump activates...

Any expert can help?

Right now I'm trying to decide between these kits:

COOLINGMIST

Coolingmist Standard Trunk Mount Kit

Price = $369.95 (+$100 if you want stainless/Teflon lines)

Coolingmist Vericool Trunk Mount Kit

Price = $599.95 (+$100 if you want stainless/teflon lines)

Coolingmist Smart DMS and Failsafe

Price = 209.95

So if you got the Vericool Trunk Mount Kit, and the failsafe, you would be looking at:

Price = $809.90!!! MAY AS WELL GET AN AQUAMIST SYSTEM!!!!


LABONTE MOTORSPORTS

Labonte Motorsports ISG-10 <--- I could use the Haltech E6X Digital output to activate it at a certain boost, or could get the VC-25 Boost activated Progressive Controller for $97. I would still need to get some type of safegaurd with this kit. The IFS-10 Safegard that comes from Labonte is $139!!

So here is the price break-down of the Labonte kit: $505.75!!!
Gotta love needed options.....


AEM

AEM Water/Methanol Injection Kit (1 Gallon Tank)

Price breakdown = $460.65

If you want the kit with the 5 gallon tank, the price = $577.50

The AEM seems a little pricey for what you get, but if you look at the other kits, when the options add up, the price gets closer....

I'm going to build a kit eventually. I'd be willing to bet most of you guys are handier than I, so it seems pretty easy

 

[avarela86]

Yeah the kits are a few bucks but in reality its not a big deal for what your getting. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you get and seeing the results.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Yeah, I could do that, but I'm not going to skimp on this..

 

[JDM Sam]

I'll be getting an AEM 5 gallon.

 

[XoX1de]

ok guys fixed my problem, by placing injector before maf will **** up the reading... thats why i got misfire, ive just drilled another hole after maf, everything is perfect now! And most amazing thing is, after 30minutes of run, the intake manifold was freezing cold! I mean so cold like its pulled from a fridge! DAMN!

 

[LinuxRacr]

See, that's what I'm talking about! ICE COLD BABY!! (eekdance)

 

[2.0t03speed]

im going to be using the aem 5 gallon meth kit as well with my 2 extra 750cc injectors and 22 psi it should be quite nice =).

 

[avarela86]

I'll be getting an AEM 5 gallon.

OMG 5 gallons....seems like a lot of extra fluid to lug around. I rather just fill the washer tank and call it a day. I found some HEET before I left town at the NAPA store. Im again really looking forward to getting something like this setup. My cold pipes actually are REALLY hot to the touch. I mean REALLY hot specially after running the car for part of the day.

 

[mspHtown]

Yeah, I could do that, but I'm not going to skimp on this..

i think 5 gallons is OVERLY excessive.

Linux, ive been looking around at these kits a bit lately and the labonte kit seems extremely nice. upgrade to the 1 gallon tank and call it a day. 5 gallons is a ridiculous amount especially for a daily driver.

also, i would not recommend triggering the injection with the e6x. ideally, you want the injection to be progressive (volume increases as the load increases). according to a tech at haltech, the e6x does not have the ability to create an additional map for the water injection (so... it only has on/off control).

you can buy a progressive controller from labonte (other kits also come with a progressive controller) or you can seriously think about upgrading the e6x to an E8. it would be nice to control everything through one unit. The E8 has the capability of building a water injection map that can be tuned however you see fit.

 

[2.0t03speed]

you do not control the aem kit it comes with its own progressive controller. it controls everything to do with the pump and how much its spraying. that kit has a lot of saftey/warning features as well thats why im getting it
