Once I ran out of meth and I did not know....I had the boost set to 15psi's and it would not go over 11......it was very hot outside. Could not figure it out until I desided to check the meth tank......empty So FP set it up in the "NO METH ..NO BOOST" mode...

Just do the meth Chris....you cant go wrong. You know me...if it does not work I will tell.


Mike, that is pretty interesting. I didn't know it was that effective of a safety net

I have not yet made it back to Florida to pick up my car, so I can't opine as to the performance yet. However, I have multiple safety systems to detect any Meth/Water injection problems and automatically switch into a fail-safe mode.

First, I have the Coolingmist Smart Injection Controller with a fluid flow sensor and fluid level switch. If the fluid flow sensor detects less meth/water being injected than there should be for the level of boost I am running, or the fluid level switch shows the meth/water tank is too low, I have the Smart Injection system wired to immediately turn off my boost controller.

Second, I have the the HKS AF/Knock amp hooked up to my F-CON Pro to essentually do the same thing.

During the motor break-in period, I'll be running very low boost without the meth/water injection. After that, I'm going to have multiple A/F maps setup in the F-CON V Pro, one being very conservative. If a problem is detected, I'll also have the F-CON V Pro automatically kick over to the conservative setting.

If you go with a meth/water injection system, it may be worth your while to check out the Coolingmist Smart Injection system. Here is the link:

Also, you can contact Dave at Coolingmist. He is very nice and will provide guidence on your setup.

I have created a very detailed wiring diagram for my meth/water system. PM me if you want me to send it to you. I also sent it to Dave, and gave him permission to use it as he so chooses, so you may be able to get it from him as well.

WOW! that is cheap. 101 here is 9.95 a gallon and 103 is 10.50 a gallon. This is the price at the pump. If you buy it in 5 gallon tanks it's 11.50.
