Default Water meth kits

Looking for a kit since there is no e85 in my area. What brands do everyone prefer?

Really think one is as good as another, everybody loves whatever one they bought(including me) and people who have had multiple don't report much difference.

Stock windshield washer setup using the pump attached to the reservoir, spraying pre-turbo. Costs $6 total for the fitting that screws into the intake piping.

The volume is there, but not the pressure. You spray pre-turbo into the immense vacuum and velocity to help atomize it, then it gets chopped up and tossed around by the compressor, and sent through the intercooler piping. By the time it hits the intake manifold, its very well dispersed.

Go to the junkyard and find a reservoir/pump setup that will fit your vehicle. I ****** them up for $10-15 and they usually tuck right behind a headlight or front bumper. Factor in a Hobbs switch and the fitting, and you're looking at a $20 meth kit.

Works great on OEM cars.

My SRT-4 didn't have enough under hood room for a new bottle and pump. So I bought a cheap NPT to barb fitting and threaded it into the intake, yanked the hose from the splitter going to the windshield sprayers and put it on the barb. Cut the wires on the pump mounted to the bottom of the washer bottle. Ran the power straight to the battery with a fuse, and the ground through a Hobbs switch on the IC piping. $10 meth setup.

The Cooling mist kits on eBay are the best deal. Usually around $300 or less, come with everything you need.

Julio makes Alky Control the way to go even if it is more dollars. It is also not a on/off system it works off of a MAP and is boost referenced. That guy is always the man when you have any questions

Devil's own kit here. Very happy with the hardware and it works great. I ended up buying a 2 gallon cell from US Plastics.

i'm building my own kit with stuff Forcefed86 uses.

$40 2.5 gallon agrimart tank, a $10 low fluid sensor, some push to connect stuff and a 1.8gph shurflo pump off ebay. the only dedicated parts from a water meth kit retailer is the schnozzle...using a devils own 10gph. I like the way it's recessed out of the airstream

prolly $100 in hardparts there. gonna trigger it with my eboost 2

IMO, the real value in a pre-assembled kit is the controller.
