Methanol Injection
Is a JB4 necessary for proper meth setup or can a standalone ECU flash do the job?
FinanceNick stated that our ECUs can adapt and that a specific map for meth is not required either, just a few full WOT pulls and your good??? |

no way i would run meth that away, no built in safety when done that way. if you get a clog or any other trouble the motor would immediately run lean and then boom

I'm using snow performance and it's super easy to set up. Just watch out for there customer service sucks.

I have used snow performance in various installs.
Great products and the customer service is setup at a separate facility. Its easier to email for their customer service. It may take a day to get ahold of them but they do follow thru. |

Has anyone had good success using the BMS charge pipes with ports for methanol injection? I’d like know how effective it is for a water/methanol setup even though it wouldn’t be a true direct port setup. These high Texas temperatures take a toll on our motors.

So yes, any controller can work for our application with a flashes ECU unless you plan to run boost > 23psi and need a boost cut feature. |

That’s impressive always thought there wasn’t much gains to be had unless tuning for it
So if you run meth and run out or get a clog and are not mapped for it everything will be safe? |

If you tune for no meth (fuel or octane) then it should be fine. It’s when meth is used as a fuel source (> 23psi) and it gets clogged or something... kaboom!

100% H20, 50/50, or 80%H20/20 will all work great for cooling and cleaning benefits. My only gripe with my previous Direct Port Aquamist Methanol setup, was the nozzles would always clog. This was on another platform, but the concept is still the same.

Dumb question but how often do the nozzles clog and why? I've got a 55gal drum that I haven't touched yet, but if it's fresh from the drum and distilled/bottles water, what else could cause clogging?
