3.3TT Intercooler or WMI?

Can it be run off the windshield washer reservoir? Don't need mine all that often here, to the point that I fill my Legacy up one-two times a year, just used to get rid of bugs or dust here and there.. These days I just throw in tap water (rarely see 30s here). How big is the Stinger tank?

Yes, but BMS won't support it that way. You'd just need to tap the tank, add a pump, and you're good to go.

Can't I just run BMS' lines from the front? I agree that the idea of running lines through the car is not exactly appealing..

Theoretically yes, it's no different than the tank being in the trunk as far as which connections you'd need (you'd just need less linear feet of lines)

Other methods like mixing your own water and meth? Washer fluid with high meth content is for sure cheaper than boost juice, but of course you're not reaping 100% of the benefits unless you go full 50/50.

Its cheaper to just get 5 gallons of methanol and diluting it with water. You get greater consistency, and know exactly if you're getting 50/50, 75/25, etc. Since switching from the ghetto washer fluid/heet mix, I'm seeing more consistent raised boost levels.

come on tonka..... lol hes not using a pure methanol solution here. Thats like saying dont get gas anymore because if you drink it you will die

50/50 makes it less flamable. Still seems like toxic shit to pour, mix, spill, or breathe. Much more toxic than petrol which you can drink in small amounts (not recommended).

Terry B said they wouldnt recommend this method and i cant recall the reasons.

I agree but seems that he is worried about safety so skipping to the pre mixed stuff would be the better way for him to go so he isn't messing with pure methanol. Depending on how fast I go through my boost juice I may start mixing my own. Looks like 5 gallons of the VP M1 is only $39.

Drinking gasoline causes throat swelling, vision loss, blood stools, burning of food pipe, blood vomiting, heart and blood collapse, low blood pressure, skin burns, irritations, dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, burning of respiratory track, etc.

Drinking gasoline can cause you to go permanently blind. And just for reference, it doesn't take much swallowed gasoline to kill you just half an ounce can cause severe intoxication for adults and even death for small children. A 12 ounce drink of gasoline will be fatal to most humans

 

[Tonkabob]

That's why I use Ethanol instead. Not toxic.

What is your Ethanol source, cheap 100 proof vodka?
Could you use a 50/ 50 e85 water mix?

Turbo That's what I wanna do is put the pump underhood..but Terry explains that in a high heat situation the pump head will lose its fluid/prime and then one has to get the pump sorted out again...that's my take away from his post a while back. The thing is ...in my retirement I install and maintain mosquito misting units that use this same pump . My pumps are on top of 55 gal barrels under a black leatherette cover....they seem hot to me when I service the barrels.....these pumps are capable of reaching more than 250 psi while having more than 35 mist nozzles running to it....and they can pull liquids up to them so the head doesn't have to be flooded....I see the pumps are internally back checked but I always back check them again....I also believe that BMS does not need any tubing larger than 1/4 inch...they use something like 3/8 dia in their kits....we are not talking volume here its all about the pressure and with only one nozzle to service... 1/4 inch NYLON tubing seems better to me....mounting the pump lower than the tank of course would be helpful with external back check of course. The meth for sure wants to evaporate I get that... when the misters of mine do lose the prime it only takes the pump about 3/4 seconds to gain full pressure..is there a prime button available with the app? Wash

Terry B said they wouldnt recommend this method and i cant rwcall the reasons.

Its becuase you are putting a very flammable tank in the engine bay unless of course you opt for the wind shield washer fluid still. Wont net you the same gains or benefits of running something like boost juice.

That sounds terrible. I did say don't do it. But Methanol is worse.

You could use the reservoir you would just have to tap into it and run all the lines from it and find a place to mount the pump. I think I dumped a gallon of washer fluid in there so it's at least a gallon.

Seems like if you did this and you used a hight methanol washer fluid you would have the best of both worlds

I think you technically can if you set everything up correctly in the software. I would worry about other "stuff" such as soap in the washer fluid which is why you might just put boost juice in there. Also do research before selecting a washer fluid to use for injection. You can also use the boost juice as washer fluid. haha

Soooo... Is there anyone that knows why that other guy sold his UP intercooler?

We need important facts, here, lol

83% Ethanol used for disinfection.

LOL no reason at all man. It was a business decision!

I like to try new things. I also sold my XS power BOV's.

To be honest the intercooler was badass.

You are a funny guy!

 

[Angel]

Everyone conveniently ignored the importance of this post: why did you sell the UP one?

Was it because it mounts off-center and that bothered you like it would me?

LOL

The real question is the AP intercooler just as efficient as other intercooler's out when it's half the price?

I have a UP and am happy with it. Although i dont have any other fmic to compare it to except stock.

Surprisingly, no one has chimed in on the AP intercooler, and the only known person here using one is a vendor that sells them.

Shucks, some of their products are proven on the dyno, and not every car they make one for can be expected to be dyno'd before and after... but there's gotta be someone out there with one of these that cares about HP! lol
