I am probably turbo charging my car in about 2 weeks and was curious if any z owners have used methanol injection yet. if so did you make the kit or buy it? what controller are you using with it? any info would be appreciated. I am planning on using it either way. just looking for some background info.

I made one for my turbo volvo for about $20. It's controlled with a boost activated pressure switch which turns the system on at 10psi. I use a cold start fuel injector and two windshield washer pumps "daisy chained" together. Don't flame....it works great and I've tested it on and off the car. I can run 17psi with no detonation with a 9.8:1 compression ratio.

i have an smc enterprises methanol kit sitting in my room waiting for nozzles to go on my 240. smc has one of the most complete, best quality, and easiest kits to install

the problem with windsheild washer pumps is they cannot make much pressure to atomize the spray enough. pumps normally used in meth kits are 100+psi capable

yeah thats what i thought too.

Z1 Motorsports is doing this on their APS TT project car. If you are registered on my350z you can PM [email protected] for more info or just go to 300zx.com and send them an email on there. So far so good from what I hear with his setup.

I just picked up an injection kit for my Z yesterday form www.coolingmist.com their website need a bit of work but the kit is great, comes with a clog detector and Intake Temp gauge as well. I will be installing this weekend and can post some pics if anyone is interested.

Very true. My dual pump set-up pushes about 90-100psi as measured with an inline gauge. Maybe the Volvo pumps are stronger than most. They do have to pump the water to the back of their wagons for the rear wiper nozzle. I also bench tested the set up and it produced a fine mist of H20...at least fine enough for the amount of money I put into the system. You can also use a "Sure Flo" RV water pump. These pumps are overkill, work great and don't cost too much.
