Subzero startup converting to inject methanol

So I don't really need the subzero startup assist thing anymore, because it doesn't get that cold here. So I was wondering if anyone knows how this sub zero system is activated. The idea I had is to inject water or methanol, but I need to find out how to activate it so I can put in a switch, then I'm gonna put some type of restrictor inline and hopefully make this work. It would be so amazing if it would work. Thanks for the help

I don't think it would be that accurate.

The Subzero temp switch in the oil pan supplies the gnd and putting the key to Start supplies the power. See the free online diagrams.

You could just cut the pump wire & make a seperate control system.
BUT:
Not enough pressure or nozzles to properly atomize the spray.
Tank is too small.

Yep.. You have to inject MASSIVE amounts of meth to make use of its properties. You would be alot better off just injecting water or 50/50 in this case. Furthermore, if you are on a stock ECU, your results might me mixed at best.

Wolf EMS, and Changing to a bag w/ steal container for safety and to hold more instead of the container. That being said I honestly don't think it will work, but if I could get it to work it would cool. I just have to much free time and felt like experimenting because I don't have the cash for an actual injection system. the idea is to push more HP w/ less$$$$
Also I found this site that has some of the nicest injection manifold packages I've seen... Check it out it's off the hook http://www.tweakit.net/shop/index.php?cPath=326_27_176
