I thought Cam was already working with them on the AP? I thought you were in on that. What happened?
What have you done to your Rotary Mazda Today?

Cam won't "re-brand" the Cobb AP. Trey won't allow that.
Its a two-part system, anyway.

Here go the pics
Engine Bay
The pump fit perfectly behind the wind sheild washer tank which I am using as my Methanol/Water tank
That is the injector.
This is the controller in the glove box. If you look closely there is a green LED on the top left of the glove box. It lights up when the system is spraying.
BONUS!!!The Bday gift my wife gave me.

You are "injecting" the methanol ahead of the throttle body?!?
(hand)
Are you sure that is the injector position? The location you are showing in the pic is where Cam has been installing the idle bypass inlet.

1) Because Methanol is a fuel and the last thing you want is fuel vapor in a place where it can escape to atmosphere in the engine bay. (Let alone putting it inside the compressor!)
2) Because it can't be injected at proper pressures there - if you have a typical 150 PSI injector (which I suspect you don't) it will blow out of that silicone coupler. If you have a low-pressure nozzle (probably do) it won't atomize so you won't get the cooling benefit and the delivery will be uneven.
3) It will pool and collect in the intake tract.
4) It could freeze the throttle body.
5) It can damage the blower coatings.
Really, the main thing - all safety and practicality concerns aside - it isn't really doing what you want it to do there.
The point of meth injection is to lower charge temps. Its does this best after they have been raised by compression. It doesn't make sense to cool something that isn't all that hot to begin with. The temp delta will be minuscule compared to doing it the right way.
Either relocate the nozzle to the outlet of the blower or to the flange where the UIM and LIM meet.
EDIT - Did Cam or Moon do this install?

Nice but I hate to think what state the Cosmo is in now that it doesn't have a heart...
Why did you have to scrap the 20b?..So does that mean your rebuilding the stock 13b?

um.......he's putting the 20b into his FD...not taking it out of his Cosmo (he doesnt even have a cosmo)
