DevilsOwn Stage1 Methanol Injection Kit - Install and review

Here is the stage1 methanol injection kit I got from DevilsOwn.

http://www.alcohol-injection.com/uni...stage-1-8.html
$240, I got it for a lil less on ebay because I had a coupon(expired so don't ask)

Pictures

This is what comes with the kit


This is what the the inside mount nozzle looks like that comes with the kit, from what I have read, these are some of the best nozzles we can use.


This is the pump mounted, I wanted to mount everything on the other side of the strut tower but I could not maneuver my drill there because of the engine and tranny.


This is the tank I used, I got it from rockauto for about $10bucks shipped.

There is a nipple at the bottom of the tank you can use but I cut it off and melted it shut



That is the self sealing tap thing that comes with the kit.


That is the nozzle and check valve mounted.


This is the boost activated switch that will turn on the kit. I have it set around 2-3PSI because it spools fast to it will be spraying by the time I hit 5psi(I will prob have the boost around 7psi tomorrow or this weekend).


Here is the tank mounted, I will add a 2nd screw, don't worry


And pretty much everything

Instructions
The kit comes with detailed instructions, you can follow them quite easily.

Mixture
I am going to use HEET Yellow

It contains 99% Methanol.

You are suppose to mix it with distilled water. A 50/50 mixture by WEIGHT, not by volume

Review
So since, I can't source the M1 meth in my area(till i get to gainesville at the end of the month) I made a mixture with the HEET. So far, so good. Car feels GREATTTTTTTTT. I need to get a high flow cat, I don't hit full boost until like 4000-4400rpm. I need to log it to make sure. My AFR dropped to the low 10's, so I need to tune it back to the low to mid 11's. Since I have it activating around 2-3psi, I believe it IS spraying when it hits 4-6psi. Car feels pretty good under boost. Now I can tune my timing and fuel 100% the way I want it.

I give this kit an A, because of its affordability, ease of installation, and high quality parts.

If you going with 50/50, you need to fill 4 bottles of HEET for every 3 bottles of Water(use same heet bottle to keep same measurement). Get distilled water from publix or somewhere, no garden hose. Meth is lighter so you wanna do 50/50 by weight, not by volume, so 4:3

how much is that heet stuff? you can get a 5 gallon drum of M1 for like $30. far superior to that heet **** and unless that heet stuff is like 25 cents a bottle, it's cheaper.

yes that is it. DO NOT get M2, M3, M4, M5, etc. Get M1. The other ones will break down the seals in the pump since they have Nitromethane and nitroparaffins, etc. Not to mention they are rough on your eyes, nose, and mouth when mixing or pouring them in your tank.

My buddy just ordered his through a local performance shop. Anyone that carries VP stuff should be able to get it.

I have had this kit on my spec v for about 2.5 years. I just have the kit with the progressive contoller. Its a solid kit. I really haven't had any problems with mine.
I have been running 100% meth since day one.
Most speed shops have straight meth. I just bring my 5 gal tank and they filler up. Its about $6.50 a gallon here. I dont beat on my car everyday so the meth will last a long time for me. 5 gals last me close to a year.
