    whats right for me?

    I did some searching and found:

    Im thinking about doing 2 nozzles, one near the IC outlet, and one after the TB with an adapter plate.

    leaning towards the snow performance kit.

    Questions:
    -will mounting the second nozzle effect anything as far as IAT readings or "siphon at idle"?
    -when using a dual nozzle kit would I run the two smallest nozzles snow offers?
    -what are the alternative liquids? (heat & RainX?)
    -if Im running MAFless do I need to hook it up to my MAP sensor?
    -will I damage my throttle body after a while with the meth?


    is this all I'll need?
    -Snow Performance kit
    -bung for IC piping
    -TB plate (where do I buy this?)
    -fail safe program
    -extra nozzle?

    I'm just looking to get some info together for the BT/BAT guys.

    Thanks.

    Re: water meth kit

    it will siphon in if you mount it after the TB and effect your idle and IAT's. which is why you need to get an anti siphon valve for it. i skipped that and just mounted mine before the TB. nothing wrong with either way. i was just too lazy to go find the valve.

    you want to run between 20-25% of how much fuel you are using. so if you are running 630's then have both nozzle psi ratings add up to roughly 500-630cc. mix and match the 2 either way you want. i would run the larger one at the TB though. maybe im wrong in my theory, so if so someone please correct me. as i only run one nozzle currently.

    i run strait blue -20* washer fluid. it's 60/40iirc. could be 70/30 though.. the more water, the more cooling, the more meth, the higher octane. which a 50/50 mix of water and meth is said to bring 93oct to 104ish. denatured alcohol has not really had great results from the B6 guys. i would just stick to washer fluid. or go get a drum of meth and mix in some distilled water with it to your liking. make sure you log log log if you change any timing settings!

    yes, hook it up to the MAP. it's very easy(1 wire) and it's the only way you will be able to control the onset of when the mixture sprays.

    and i've heard that it can damage the TB. but only after a very long time-READ 30,000ish miles. and TB's are cheap at the junk yard. so i wouldn't worry about it. meth is worth it!

    FWIW, i run an devilsown kit w/ no failsafes. but i also dont run the meth currently for the sole purpose to run race gas timing on pump gas+meth. just bumped up the timing a slight bit and enjoy my very very low IAT's.

    have fun and good luck buddy!

    Re: water meth kit

    i have the Stg 2 setup with dual nozzles as well. You want to try to size the nozzles according to your fuel injectors, FPR, and boost ie. I run 440cc injectors so i run a 60ml nozzle behind my throttle body 375ml nozzle on my IC pipe. You can hook up the controller off a simple boost source like you would a boost gauge.

    here is the kit i ordered

    http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=58 (stg 2 kit)

    http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=20 (i got 2 of these)

    http://www.usrallyteam.com/index.php...062004dc330823 (dual nozzle upgrade and TB plate)

    http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=52 (bung)

    i really suggest you call USRT and let them walk you through it it Scott is a great guy and set me up with a good package 856-456-3335

    TO ALL: You don't just abitrarily select a nozzle size, there is a equation that is based on injector size, boost and Fuel Pressure. Call SCOTT at USRT if you need to know your nozzle size(s) or use their website where the information is hosted.


    Sean you don't want to run the larger injector at the TB or just after it's the opposite. You run the larger first in line and then the smaller 2nd, my setup is the 375 ml/min first nozzle and 60ml/min at the TB plate. You also don't want to run a MAF based kit on a non-MAF running car, just won't work. The MAP controlers are more accurate and offer much much more control of onset, since it is boost derived and not airflow. You also will use/waste less h20/meth.


    You need one anti-siphon as you can see in my pictures below for a dual nozzle or a trunk mounted tank, but only 1 if running both. The new safe-injection by Snow may be very different than the previous version, but the last version couldn't catch and correct as fast as ME-7 and was proven as mentioned by Nate (gent behind Snow who has left and now has the same kit with a new name). Nate also had a B5 A4 1.8T and that is how I know this.


    Tuning wise you either tune for power or you just use the h20/meth for lower IAT's and slight octane increase to allow more timing. I personally have very mixed feelings after running the kit for 10k and when lapping sessions are going on will only run distilled h20.

    I run a dual nozzle setup. I run the Integrated TB Plate and the 1/4 npt fitting to screw the 1st nozzle in at the discharge piping at the core. I run 75% Distilled and 25% VP M3 as my mix.







    Feel free to PM me with questions or contact SCOTT @ USRT 856-456-3335

    i thought the point of buying the special boost juice (or washer fluid) was that if you just mix meth and water they eventualy fall out of suspension and separate back out like oil and water?

    Nope. I mix VP M3<----Purest you can get with 100% distilled water. There is no speration either way you do it. The difference with washer fluid is that is has a slew of other chemicals (very small % but there none the less and that;s why it's either blue or orange).

    Re: water meth kit

    yea i saw a picture of some guys throttle body after a few months of him running the orange windshield fluid. the whole inside was caked with fluorescent orange crap. it was enough to make me buy the good stuff without coloring agents in there.

    what about that HEET gas line addative, or iso-heet, i forget which is ethanol and which is methanol. that stuff is somewhat cheap and colorless to boot.

    Re: water meth kit

    VP M3 is the most cost effective of all methods. It's 3 bottles of Heet to 1 gallon of -20 washer fuild (adds up quick).

    this is a lot of great information guys. I'll call Scott today, I've bought from USRT before. I'm currently running their 630's.

    He'll probably have you run identically to myself and AudiRacerS4 (375ml on #1 and 60ml on TB nozzle). I would recomend doing the trunk mounted tank, but that's my prefrence it may not be yours.

    Re: water meth kit

    I'm not set on my tank yet, but I really want to do my washer fluid reservoir. I like the OEM look and the fact that my display will beep when its getting low, I know the SP tank will have that too but its right in my dash, I like that.
