Snow Performance Stage II Water/Methanol Injection Kit, Upgraded Tank (low level warning) and 4 Gallons of Boost Juice (49% Methanol and 51% Water Mix)

Now the big challenge is where to mount the tank and Pump

 

Thomas,

If I remember your engine compartment - don't you have a little area on the drivers side up front..

Good work on the Snow kit.. This should be quite an interesting experiment..
Please keep us posted..

Cheers Amy -

 

I'll check tomorrow....

If anyone has pics where they mounted the tank and pump, it's appreciated!
I keep on reading about mounting the pump in the fender well, but how exactly, I need pictures

 

My TT kit moved the overflow to the drivers side fenderwell, try taking out the fender liner there should be room there. Let us know how it turns out.

 

nice. cant wait for some dyno results.

can we also get a before and after intake temperature reading? im curious how much this will cool your air.

 

Nice! I was wondering if anyone is using a Injection Kit. When I had my Evo I was considering it. Saw big gains with them. Are you boosted or still N/A? I don't have plans to boost and wondering if something like that would be safe on a basic bolt-on N/A engine?

 

Is this mix combustible, if it is I wouldn't put it up front just for safety. Im probably sure its not. But just something you might want to think about. Im sure the cap would give before too much pressure built up in the tank in the event of a crash or something.

If not than what about in the wheel well using some kind of bracket. Or off to the right of the front bumper brace. Can you drill in there and make a holder for the tank.

 

this mixture is supposed to be just below the flammable point so that is safe...

would I go into wheel well from the outside, meaining above the actual wheel or is there a better way to get there?

 

The best and probably correct way would be to remove the front bumper(not the aluminum brace) and find a spot in there. Since it doesn't need to be cooled you can find any place that fits it as long as you dont interfere with any other parts or block the IC.

 

Are you completely opposed to tapping into the stock washer tank? I think that's what I'm going to do.

 

That boost juice seems pretty expesive. It comes out to $6.25/gal. I thought running water/meth would be alot cheaper. I like the snow system though...very nice.

 

I wanted to do that but the pump is supposedly be mounted lower than the tank and that would be kind hard since it's so low to begin with.
Also I want to still use the window washer and if I put the methanol/water mix in there I doubt that that would be very safe since it's supposed to be really bad if you get in contact with it....there are sooo many Poisen labels on those bottles...

 

yep especially if you add the $19.95 handling fee...
But the good part is that you get an exact guaranteed mix of 49/51 meth/water everytime.
I will however check if I can get methanol cheaper around here in the future. I also have no idea yet how fast I'll go through a gallon.

 

Here are your pics bro....Big *** tank in the trunk...I cover it with a black towel....you should put your tank where the spear goes and run the pump in the same place....pic of my pump is mounted under left rear fender... hope this helps bro...

 

Holy crap that's a big tank LOL!!!

thanks for the pics, that does help

 

Damn lol thats big... but well worth it!! mrtomcat... where did you get the kit?

 

directly from snowperformance.net

 

It's big but I didn't want to be filling up every other week....So I put a towel over it and call it a day

 

I checked and there is truly no way in the universe to fit the tank or pump into the engine bay, so I will have to go Bigbri's route and install it in the trunk, I'm depating if maybe I should put it in front of the passenger seats...

Now here are the challenges:
1) the line is not long enough so I will need to get a longer one
2) I'm concerened that the line will not be sturdy enough to be routed underneath the car
3) I still can't find a place for the pump, but I didn't have time to lift the car to look at bigbris' suggestion and I couldn't see it by just looking under it.

Bottomline this install will be more compersum because of the lack of space.

 

Brian how often do you have to fill your tank?
