My goal was to add a Modification that an untrained eye would over look, and give me a significant advantage over the competition.

This was done on my 2g FWD Street/Strip project.
I do not have AC, and i do not plan on driving this car to the grocery store so sacrificing my windshield squirter's was no big deal

(all though i could drive it around town if i wanted to, it IS still street legal/road worthy)




For the tank:

I used my OEM windshield washer reservoir that is in the rear of the car. I wanted this install to first and foremost be completely hidden to anyone that wasn't looking for it. The stock reservoir has a float already installed and lets you know well before you are out, that you are getting low on fluid. PERFECT!!

I kept the factory pumps on the tank for two reasons.

1st
I wanted it to appear like no modifications were made to it.

2nd
I didn't want to plug the two holes that the pumps filled.

So i just capped off the pump outlets with some little rubber caps and left them in place.





(Note the Float to the right of the Tap is higher than where i tapped the tank)





Mounting the pump and Relay:

I mounted the pump under the car, directly behind the rear passenger tire. There might be some better locations for it, but this seemed to be the easiest for the location of the Tank Tap-to-pump that i had laid out. It took a few minutes of turning the pump around to get it in the direction that i wanted it to face.

Note: In this instance, It would have helped to mark on the pump with which->direction->flow->was with a marker, because when the pump was screwed in place, i could not see the top.

I used my finger to press down over where the arrow was and it left a nice little impression on my skin.












The relay was mounted near the pump in the rear of the car.
I used a 12v wire and the 12v ignition wire that was already routed to the rear of the car for the old Amplifier.
This saved me a lot of time and aggravation and I don't currently have a system in my car so it worked out perfect.





Running the Lines from tank-to-pump

Because of where i tapped my tank at, and the direction it needed to face (to be able to retain the factory washer pumps) I had to drill through the bottom of the car.

I put the tank in place (with the tank tap installed and the factory pumps out of the way) and marked the location of where i wanted to drill.





Once the hole was drilled and the line fed through, I put some silicone around the orifice to prevent the metal from cutting into the lines. I did this from underneath, with the tank, the tank tap, and the line in place.

Running the line from the pump to the nozzle safely and discreetly:

I noticed that the old windshield hose ran from inside the rear of the car, inside a protective plastic case along the passenger side door frame.

Because I did not need my windshield squirter's for track use and light street use, I used some existing lines and holes to my advantage. I took the little connector that was on the hose that brought fluid from the rear to the front windshield squirter's to connect the two lines. I then pulled the Meth. hose through the current locations. This made things a lot easier, and a lot faster. It also insured that there wasn't going to be any moving parts that might kink or damage the line.

I then routed the hose through my favorite spot on the fire wall. ;)


(you can see the stock hose in place about half way down the picture on the far right hand side)




(here is the existing hose and connected Methanol/water injection hose at a half way point)







Installing the nozzle and check valve and boost switch:

I mounted the nozzle under the throttle body so that it would be hidden from sight.








I put the boost switch in the glove box so it would be easy to tune on the fly. After it is tuned i plan on relocating it to a more permanent location.
I tapped the vacuum line that my boost controller was currently using.







and there you have it....
I will throw some more photos up in a second.

a few more:



(all wired up)


(the pic is kind of dark but you cant see a thing, not even from shin high point of view!)


(What Methanol injection system)


(nothing to see here... just the tank for my windshield washer fluid...)

[damnDSM]

NOTE:
Use the factory washer fluid filler to fill the tank with methanol.




If you choose to inject windshield washer fluid you COULD retain the front and rear windshield squirter's. Just keep all of the lines intact and hooked up

HOWEVER
there really inst enough fluid for both functions.

very nice write up... excellent pics with details

Very nice right up. Probley one of the best that anyone has put up. I wish more people would help us and others out like this.

So how does it run?

Thanks a lot!
I got a lot of help from a bunch of different sources. I am sure it will help a few people out when they go to install their kit for the first time.


I have not ran it with the fuse in (for the alcohol pump)
I do not plan to until i get it tuned.

I should have it all operational with a pretty beefy tune by this Friday (8.10.07)


I plan on running 100% Methanol and about 26-28 lbs on my td05h 20g (that will be maxing out the turbo)


It is a pretty mild set up.

just to name a few Mod's:
20g (Ported with machined 16g comp. housingl)
6 bolt bottom end
1g NT throttle body
stock 2g head
650cc FIC injectors
AFPR
walbro 255 fuel pump
greddy BOV (recirculated)
Injen/K&N intake
Apex'i FMIC and all aluminum 2.5 ID intercooler lines
Stock 2g FWD trans
Centerforce clutch
Devils Own alcohol/water injection kit (DSM Base Injection kit. I didnt need any extra hose or wire either!!)

we will see what it does.

I will post some results soon.

Went out and made a few pulls.

keep in mind this is on a stock 2g head, stock cam, 6 bolt with stock piston motor.

DSMLink read that i had 319HP and is accurate within 5%
I think that is WHP, but i am not 100% sure.

the car has some more in it, but my internal wastegate is pretty much taxed at 20 LBS.

It was a quick tune, it could have been a little better but my oil sending unit backed out and dumped 4qts of 10w 30 onto the road.


we will see what itdoes at the track next week.

Very nice install and write up!!!

[Talontsi96]

Nice write up.... I hope you saved your engine after that engine oil dump...

I also used my stock 2G windshiedl washer container...I didn't care about stealth so I installed the pump in the engine compartment...

[damnDSM]

The motor is fine, I was out ripping it up the other night.
I raced a built lt4 camaro with a 150 shot. He said he runs low 11's on DR's.
The race was exciting, but his RWD hooked a lot better than my FWD 205 tire havin' ass.

It was still close though, he didnt even pull an entire car legnth on me =)


I noticed that there was a stong smell of Methanol in the cab. I think the threads on the "tank-tap" are a little too fine and it is leaking out slowly.

I am going to add some additional thread selant and see if that fixes my problem
