Default Snow Performance Water/Methanol Kit Install Pictures

I finally started on my W/M Installation

I installed the fittings, tested the system, installed the tank, the pump, hooked up weather terminals for easy removal.
Next step routing the lines underneath the car into the engine bay, Tapping the intake, wiring the system and install the low flow sensor. Hopefully the weather will get better soon so that I can do that at my buddy's place since I don't feel comfrotable working under my car in my garage and the Intake tapping I want someone to hold the intake while I'm drilling/taping it so that the threads don't get all ****ed up.

Here are some pictures of what I got so far:









What M/W Kit?

did you let the dog chew on that foam cover piece??!

no offense - you obviously took the time to do all of this right, tell us that was "previous damage" not a drunken attempt by a pack of rabid monkeys to "clearance" the foam?!?!?!

I'm getting it tuned on the 28th this month in time for the IDRC West Coast Nationals.

No the dog did not chew out the foam I couldn't for the life of it get the damn foam off and since my original plan was for the tank to be in that area as well, I didn't care if I'd break it.
I'm going to make it look better once I'm done with the install and build a little protective box around the pump as well

the pump can pull up to 8 feet but push easily to 15 feet and more. The only thing snow is cautioning is that there might be a slight delay because of the longer travel when first spraying so they recommend to either use a solenoid or to start spraying just a tad earlier, like 5 psi instead of 6

Mrtomcat; what are you using in your setup? 50/50 methanol/water? Isopropyl? Ethanol? My internet search last night lead me to believe that if you can find a suitable winshield wiper product, that may be the most economical, second being isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

I'm using Snow Performance Boost Juice which is 51% Water and %49 Methanol. I like the premix because you know it'll always be the right mixture and at that mixture it's non flammable which is important to me since I have the tank right behind me.
Only problem is that they charge $24 for handling bringing a 4 gallon order to $44 which is up there...

I read Isoppyl is NOT the way to go, I forgot why but it's a no no.
If you use Windscreen wiper fluid make sure it's with Methanol.
