Hello. I have recently installed a progressive universal kit. I attached pictures, the one from the side of the car shows the check valve and nozzle placement right before the throttle body.

My question is...

I posted these pics on the benzworld forums I'm active on, and someone suggested placing the nozzle AFTER the supercharger and BEFORE the intercooler for better efficiency. Is this true?

Another question...

Is this even possible? I'll need to take the supercharger off to see for sure, but the intercooler on here is a water to air intercooler and the radiator is in front of the engines radiator but the intercooler itself is underneath the supercharger above the block. I imagine it's a direct bolt-together setup with no room for a nozzle post supercharger. So after this most-likely answer of "no" to my own question... the followup question, is it necessarily a BAD thing to have it pre-SC? The SC can compress air but can't compress water. So will it harm anything or make the SC run slower or is it bad for the blades?

Thanks!

i mounted the nozzle before the supercharger on a 2003 ford Lightning " just like yours is setup.. works great..

I just call it my alcohol mixer..

There is another guy on here wiith a blown hemi and he is also inecting his alcohol ontop of his huffer

Ok, so now the question remains, would it work BETTER after the supercharger?

It might, but i dont see anyway of doing that with out some major mods

I used to have a C32 and miss it. Great car.

Putting it before the blower will help some and shouldn't hurt anything. There are some brands that connect that way. Certainly after the blower would be better but I don't know of any way you could do that on your engine.

a nice pre blower install

Remember this is a very fine mist. And you will actually see a psi or 2 more boost with it pre blower do to the better seal with the rotors. 90% of Roots style blown cars mount the nozzle pre-blower. You will also boost up quicker with the pre blower install. Rotors coating tend to not be affected at all by the methanol. Unlike a wet nitrous pre blower install which will strip them clean of coating.

**noted good to know info

I just mounted it in the intercooler, post supercharger, right at the supercharger exit (before the coils) to see if it made a difference.
(for those who want to do this, I must say the aluminum walls of the intercooler are thicker than the threads of the nozzle are deep, minus one or two threads. I tried grabbing those 2 threads but they just stripped out... so be prepared to do some GRINDING on the spot you wish to mount the nozzle.)
I'll post pics when I get a chance.

WOOPS didn't think of this ahead of time but I need a solenoid now! I burn through a gallon in about 30 minutes due to vacuum.

BUT

My air intake temperatures are now 20 degrees cooler!!! than on the intake itself pre-supercharger. I was watching the OBD2 screen and couldn't believe it. I think a lot of it is the fact that it's constantly coming out under vacuum though, because under normal driving my intake censor shows about 7 degrees cooler than outside air temps. But when I give it good load, it only goes up like 15 degrees, usually it goes up like 30-40 degrees. And the hottest it's gotten now is 129, where as under WOT like normal it gets past 150... and without methanol at all it's close to 200 degrees. This is a drastic improvement. I probably won't see gains this good once the solenoid is in place, but then again it won't be DRINKING my mixture like it's going out of style. And to make things better, i gained ~1.5 PSI! I really think the mixture hitting the fins of the SC creates some resistance, thus decreasing boost and vaporizing all of the mixture before it even hits the intercooler. My car has never been faster. I'm upgrading the heat exchanger on my intercooler next, and after that I should be about as cool as I'm ever gonna get for intake temperatures.

BTW i'm using a 7gph nozzle.

Very happy right now... of course even happier when the solenoid comes in.

sounds great.. lets see te pics
