So I FINALLY finished installing my water injection system. I took my time since the weather up here turned to **** last week and I find rushing never does any good.

The kit is from Snow Performance and is the Stage 1 Boost Cooler. Kit comes with everything you need to include 220 psi pump, nozzle, water jug, activation LED, fluid low-level sensor with LED, mounting hardware, water lines, sealant, electrical fittings/crimps/eyelets...I mean they dont mess around, you get EVERYTHING you need for install. GREAT customer service too!

I went a different route and wanted 2 nozzles at smaller sizes that would eqaul the proper size for my 50/50 meth/water mix SO they would atomize even better (plus it looks kick ***). My total nozzle size is 375ml/min and 175ml/min = 550 ml/min of 50/50 mix. I originally was going to go only water so I had 2 175ml/min nozzles ordered BUT after much more reading and research (Howard Coleman is the man!), a 50/50 mix seems to be the most beneficial for performance AND knock safety.




on to the install pics:

I mounted the pump and the fluid container behind my passenger seat due to engine bay space limitations.


I routed the water lines under the carpet by the passenger seat and up through the main harness firewall grommet, then securing to the firewall pinch weld with some 1/4 inch clamps and bolt head caps. I had to wrap the line with teflon tape to prevent chaffing on the edge of the pinch weld.


Mounted the boost sensor and relay by the brake booster. Snow recommend that you do not bolt boost sensor to the engine bay due to possibly distorting the diaphram SO I ended up using a zip tie and some .020'' safety wire to secure it.



I did have to order 2 aluminum bungs to weld into my intercooler piping (not in kit)
Here are the 2 nozzles.......




I am very happy on where I located the 2 L.E.D.'s! I ended up mounting them on the gauge dash bezel. Green is activation light and orange is the low lfluid level. They are both very visible from the drivers seat.







I had to test the pump after install and it works GREAT. The atomization is VERY fine and I would of had video but I was short handed. The kit was a great price and I CAN"T WAIT to see it perform once I finish break in.

Total install time was around 5-6 hours due to routing wires and soldering. Total kit cost was around 460 with dual nozzle upgrade and boost juice.

Nice set up. Great detailed how to pics as well. You don't have to spend $10 on that boost juice. Do a search for methanol in your area. It can usually be found by searching for fuel additives. I found 5 gal for $30 bucks in my city. Couple that with 5 gal distilled water @$.83 gal= $34.50 for 10gal of 50/50 mix or $3.41 a gal. You'll soon see that you are going to have to find a cheaper source for you water/methanol mix.


It was fun to do my install and I love the outcome. The results are great and I'm never going back.

Thanks man.

in regards to another meth source...I was afraid of that. Just doing my pump test /purge the fluid level was going down at a decent rate.

My lead foot will most likely lead me to find cheaper 50/50 mixes lol.

Now this snow 50/50 mix is by weight mixture correct?

50/50 By volume I believe
