I could have sworn Morgan or someone ran an SC with meth injection... Can't find info on that now. Anyone know how that went?

She did, and it cured detonation problems. Meth injection can be used for more mild purposes, guys, not just big power.

Easily forgotten... lol

I run meth with a S/C, and I am the only S/C'd yaris that is re-tuned with meth ( let alone re-tuned). I'm running straight meth, no 50/50 mix.

How long have you been running the SC and meth?

I had a Blitz supercharger and the AEM progressive water/meth set up (the one you have pictured). Worked nicely. I mounted the tank to the back of the "40" seat (of the 60/40 rear bench) in the hatch. The regular washer take is 1.1 qts and you'll burn through that quickly enough. Run the lines through the car, they aren't under pressure until after they pass through the pump.

Since I live in Florida and I installed the kit in May of last year, it was hot, well over 95+ most summer days and the methanol kit was to help with pre-detonation. Yes, you can run 100% methanol or yes, you can run 100% water. I never noticed a huge difference, usually I ran tap water with about 30% by volume of methanol.

If you choose to run straight methanol, it can be very expensive for not a lot of return in power - just save yourself the money, the real power is not found (for this car) in adding water/methanol injection. But it is a lot safer to run in hot weather ESPECIALLY since I didn't have an intercooler.

Cooler intake temperatures are never a bad thing.

Good luck, read my archaic posts if you feel like you'd like to waste 20 mins on my ramblings.... or just PM me

ps I knew from the get go that I was going to have water/meth, so I installed it simultaneously with the supercharger... it is a very nice kit, well worth the $400 - just make sure you get refrigerator tubing for the lines from the tank to pump and pump to injector, the ones in the kit are very thin and will break if you run anything higher than a 30% mixture

Not true. The meth actually lasts quite awhile. Depends on how you drive of course. Since I am maxing out at about 8-9lbs of boost, i have my meth kick in at 2lbs of boost. I also buy HEET to use as my meth, and it's only a couple bucks a bottle at WAL-MART. Takes about maybe 8-9 bottles to fill the entire meth kit? A full tank of meth can last me about a month with my driving. However, I don't street race and go into boost every chance I get....

ps: I wouldn't have even gotten the meth kit if i wasn't going to tune with it.

Not true. I am running 99.9999% meth and my stock hose lines haven't broke....
