well funds are tight and ive spoken alot to dan. BUT i have a chance to pick up a PLP powerdyne S/C and everything it needs for 2800. And also a clutch/fly. No2 set up for 1k(i think). How do u like ur s/c? what kinda power u puttin down? I have toyomoto headers/testpipe(no cat) hks hiper exhaust..the guy laid down 292/272 with just exhaust and hp header.. so I figure id be atleast in the low 300's.. Btw, would it be safe to run a 50shot of spray with a water/meth. injection? Thanx man

You can simulatenously run juice with WMI... between air/fuel/meth/water/n20 just realize you're mixing a serious cocktail. If you don't get the mix right, it might not taste too good. Definitely recommend the digital controller for more complex applications (meth as a fuel source/octane enhancer, parallel with N2O, etc)
I dynoed 400 to the wheels a while back boost only, probably less than that now. No time to work on my own car anymore.![]()

how the hell are you runnin 18psi on a s/c? what kind of s/c is it?

It'll pop 21 psi if I push the revs... and I have a 5mm smaller pulley sitting in the garage waiting for it's turn.
Of course, I'll have to run the meth in high RPMs if I install the smaller pulley... it will push almost 25 psi according to the calculations. I can get away with it since it's an s/c... not a turbo. 20+ psi on pump gas with a turbo is a big no no.![]()

I know with the Snow Performance kits they have a safety kill where if the pump stops pumping or a bubble gets caught in the line, it will turn off the boost controller and run off wastegate pressure. I believe this feature might also be through a standalone engine management system like AEM, Hydra, etc.
I wouldn't run methanol without a safety switch/kill/bright LED due to the simple fact that if the pump does stop working, or a bubble is caught in the line, or you're not getting the full pressure necessary... your engine is as good as gone.
Methanol also tends to eventually corrode Iron over a long period of time with heavy useage which someone with an Iron Ductile sleeve may want to take into consideration when using methanol.
Don't get me wrong, there's tons of cheap power to be made using methanol and water injection... just make sure you do your research before throwing something on your car. At the very least, rewire the kit with a bright LED to go off if the pump fails or there's a hiccup with the unit.
The Snow performance Safe Injection system works just fine with the CM kits... people do it all the time. You get the benefits of the more capable CM controller and components, along with the peace of mind of the Safe Injection.
CM does directly offer a Status Monitor/clogged nozzle detector... which will alert you if your NZ is clogged, and shows when the system is spraying or not spraying. Its usually a $50 add on, I'll have to see what we could GB it for. It includes an LED to show you the system status.
Float switches + LED are also an option to alert you when your tank is running low.
For people running straight water... the safety systems are less critical, since you usually don't tune to the edge if you're just pumping water. If you're running meth and using it to bump up the boost or adv the timing, it's recommended you build in some safegaurds.
