Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Methanol Anyone?

[wildmanben]

Well I just put it on yesterday so I dont have any dyno numbers, but in 2 weeks I will. The EGTs went down some. With washer fluid I maybe dropped 150* Will try a 50/50 meth water mix on the dyno though.

Does anyone have the model number or the brand of pump included in the Snow systems?



I found one that looks very, very close; it runs on 12v, 220psi @ 2gpm. but its around $250 bucks. The variable control Snow sells is around $169 for the supercharger applications- it doesnt have the egt stuff though. On the stage 2 kit pictures, the controller is the same. So you can do almost the same system, using their parts, minus their nozzles, wiring, and plumbing for around ($250+$170+$50misc+time to fab up stuff=) under $500 bucks. Sounds lots better than $750 and nothing will fit on my cummins application. I bet I dont even need that pump, and can settle for the $150 ones I bet.



But spending 545sh on a stage 2 kit might be the better way togo after looking at all of them and throwing a third of it away and not half to guess on anything... Hmm... Ideas anyone?

The basic kit from devils own is only $200 something but it only comes with the hobbs switch. I think they have a variable controler kit for about $325? Has anyone tried one of these kits?

Depends on the smaller pump, likely 150psi. you will get less atomization, and Ive heard quite a few reports of the smaller 150psi pumps failing, so to speak. Also, if you ever decide to go twins or whatever, and run high boost levels, the 150psi will probably not be adequate with more than one nozzle. the Pressure drop with 2 or more nozzles would make the atomization horrible, I would suspect.



Devils own is good stuff, and the guy Chance (either owns it or just runs it) is GREAT to deal with. I've talked to him numerous times, and he has been extremely helpful each and every time.

Im not sure that Devils Own has a pump larger than 150psi though???

Twins are in the vehciles future. Ok im going todo some more looking around for stuff. Thanks.



Anyone want to look on their Snow pump to see make/model?

I run a Snow system for over two years, have six gallon tank in bed, added a filter and check valve so fluid goes only one way. Keeps EGT much lower than without. Great system, had it on so long Matt was selling on E-bay, before he got big!

PRattenbury,



After the Meth is injected and atomized, especially with Snow's special nozzles as talked about above in my original post, you don't have any corrosion problems. It's such a fine mist that it is sucked into the engine and gone and doesn't collect in the intake tract etc. Again one more reason we only support the Snow kits as they have the Diesel experience and when they sell they go out the door and we only have customer calls that are impressed with the quality and performance vs the kind of call like "UHH this is ok but what about this or that" etc etc.

I'm with Mark on this one too. Remember some of my first posts about using the Snow kit... ... . that was the Spring of 03'.
