Default DIY Meth injection kit

I don't really want to spend $400 for a kit. Has anyone made their own kit? Pics? Part list?

With all the time you would spend getting parts, putting it together, all that jazz, its worth it to buy a pre built kit. That way you have all the sensors, jets, warning lights, etc.. and you know its a complete setup.

i am interested also. i looked at the pumps on egay. i dont think it would be to hard. just get the pump,nozzle, boost activated switch and find a tank of some sort. i am sure you can get some plastic tubing from a parts store that would hold the 150-200 psi. you could also use you windshield washer fluid reservoir for a meth tank. i plan on using mine for an intercooler sprayer.

You can pick up a six gallon tank from alcohol injection systems for around $100. Pump is going to be pricy. Lines shouldn't be too difficult, and you could rig it up to a hobbs switch to turn it on. The only downside that I see to this is it wouldn't be progressive unless there is another way?

Honestly if you have the money just buy a kit. I have Alkycontrol and it's a well thought out, pain-free kit

lmao PM me a pic or two and a price mr EngineerMike.. I may want to upgrade mine to a dual nozzle

to the OP- dude, spend a little more and get the alkycontrol kit. That way you know for sure that the pump is rated to handle meth, and the lines are rated for meth (I'd worry about corrosion of any sort of off the shelf plastic lines you would get at home depot) not everything can stand up to methanol. It can be a very punishing chemical on some components. I wouldnt risk my engine to a fleabay pump and some jerry rigged makeshift lines and nozzles. Plus, as mentioned above, you get the tunability and progressive control of the meth with the alkycontrol kit. Add to that top notch customer support from Julio the man- who has been doing this stuff for many years and is more than willing to help any of his customers at anytime with the best attitude I've ever experienced from anywhere.

Check the water injection category at ebay. There was a guy selling a small sensor that series with the vacuum line and can be adjusted from 2-15 psi activation. Have its electrical trigger a high amp relay for a pump.

you don't have to get the progressive controller. That will save you a bunch of money. You can probably find a full kit for $190 or so

I got out the door with a non progressive trunk mount kit from alkycontrol for less than $230, definitely worth it. Screw all the guess work with piecing together your own kit.
