i <3 Meth!
 
wowsers is it awesome to be running meth injection y0! only problem now is i need a gas tank's worth of methanol to last me....i drained about 1-1 1/2 gallons worth of methanol in a trip that's less than 2 miles!!

I don't know how that is possible considering with the miata you should be running like a 3-5 GPH nozzle. Which means you should in no way be able to inject that much alcohol in a 2 mile trip. I would now be worried about some kind of hydrolock.

i know cjern! i was freakin out when i got home, but the car ran fine..... nothing wrong at all....well it wasn't a 1 and a 1/2 gallon, i'm sorry.. it was a 1/2 gallon each 2 mile trip... which is absurdly still TOO much!

thats ridiculous, my friend has meth on his 500hp wrx and its bascially daily driven, to my knowledge he fills it like 1-2 times a month. do you have it running constantly? no matter what rpm or what your throttle position is? cuase that could be a reason

Lol dude your running too much. Check that out before you fuck something up.

magnamx-5 06-07-2008 12:24 AM

uhh man unless you where doing a burn out at like 10 mph i doubt you used that much. i dont even use that much. Most likely you have a hole in your line or something. Or you have your capacity wrong.

what do you mean i have my capacity wrong? i know i don't have a hole in my meth lines.... there's absolutely no leak at all lol...it's just spraying a crapholey load of meth! if it helps any... i used the biggest nozzle the DO kit came with.... it's the basic kit

magnamx-5 06-07-2008 08:45 AM

uhh goku you need to size the meth spray to your hp not just what you think is right. FWIW the biggest nozzel i see there is 14 gph that mother is big enough to run a 730 hp setup. A 300 hp setup using WI as a standalone for example would use about 8 or so gph being conservative with the math. My bsfc is pretty good so i get away with using abit over 5gph. Please take some time to size the meth jets properly and you will see alot more gains. Oh and fwiw that much WI could lock your motor it is possible. 17 gph is insane even comming from me.
oh snap i just remembered this from joes posts
"‘Twas a nice and simple setup that kept the lines short and didn’t kill any trunk space- two of my major design goals. Unfortunately, I soon found out that the washer bottle is entirely too small. I measured it out of the car at 1.65 liters, but due to the odd shape and placement of the fitting I’d say that only about 1 liter of this is actually useful capacity. (this is a US-spec NA without ABS) What this translates to is <50 miles of hard driving between refills" So it seems you have abit of an anomoly using 1.5 liters in 2 miles is doable.

Lol Im addicted too. Im using a 7GPH nozzle and I race every weekend and do a few pulls during the weekdays. I only have to fill up about once every month. When are you having it turn on ? Mine is set to 6 PSI.

01TurboMiata 06-07-2008 12:25 PM

Oh and the biggest nozzle from DO is the 7GPH if its the basic kit.... What I have, The nozzle even has a number imprinted into it to tell you which it is.

XxGoKoUxX 06-08-2008 02:09 AM

i'm using the 7GPH nozzle.... i'll record the amount of miles+the amount of meth i use to re-verify with you guys

magnamx-5 06-08-2008 02:28 AM

i think you most likely have your capacity of the resevoir wrong man. 7pgh easily drinks that much in 2 miles, of boost.

XxGoKoUxX 06-08-2008 02:36 AM

it's the factory windshield wiper reservoir FWIW

magnamx-5 06-09-2008 03:20 AM

then it is 2-3 quarts
so yeah sounds about right
just alil high

XxGoKoUxX 06-10-2008 12:24 PM

thanks magna...so i should just keep it filled up every few trips? am i fine running it?

magnamx-5 06-10-2008 01:57 PM

well i would look at more capacity man. But so long as you keep an eye on it. You will be fine.

XxGoKoUxX 06-10-2008 10:55 PM
