Snow performance universal stg 3 methanol kit





EDO CAN PROVIDE INSTALLATION AND TUNING ON METHANOL KITS FOR YOUR MITSUBISHI EVO

The graph above comes from Norman's 2006 Meth Injected STi. This was our first meth injection build using Snow Performance's Latest Stage 3 methanol injection system. This Kit includes:

• 150+ PSI High Volume Pump
• 3 Quart Reservoir
• LCD Screen, Pushbutton Digital Variable 3D Mapping Controller
• Variable Nozzles To Cover a Wide Range of Horsepower
• 10 feet High Pressure Tubing (1200psi burst)
• Flow Control Solenoid
• Dual Nozzle upgrade available
• All Required Hardware Needed For Installation
• Comprehensive Instructions Supplied but Home installation not recommended as dyno tuning is needed promptly after install.

FOR THOSE NEW TO METH:

Much of methanol’s popularity can be attributed to its ability to resist detonation. Having control over detonation allows the vehicle to make more power through added boost or increased timing. Most injection systems use a 50/50 composition of water and alcohol, with miniscule amounts of water-soluble oil to prevent corrosion of the injection system and fuel system. When water is introduced into the combustion chamber, the air-fuel mixture is drastically cooled, resulting in a substantial increase in horsepower and reduction of heat absorption by the cylinder walls. This added cooling effect allows the engine to run at higher rpm and boost levels without overheating.

INSTALLATION

After talking with Logan Hennessy, our lead technician, he described the installation of this kit to be challenging. When you open the box, the installation appears rather simple and straight forward, but once you actually get into the wiring portion of the installation, it's easy to see why professional installation is strongly recommended.

TMIC or FMIC???


Perhaps one of the nicest features about this kit was its size. You can literally mount this kit about anywhere you please. How stealthy you want to get is all up to you.

When installing the injection nozzle on Norman's 2006 STI, we simply drilled and tapped the intercooler pipe before the throttle body. On the 04WRX that we fitted with meth injection, the customer wanted to take a more stealth approach. To do so, a small hole was drilled and tapped on the lower portion of the TMIC's underside, concealing the injection sight almost completely. Black water lines were substituted for the vibrant red lines that were supplied with the kit and a bracket was fabricated and welded into the left rear trunk compartment to hold the larger capacity 2.5 Gallon Tank Snow offers for an additional $50. Directly below the tank sits the adjustable 150PSI Pump we have turned up to 180PSI to accommodate for the length of line.

To maximize efficiency, the stock Sti intercooler spray tank was refitted to hold the methanol. For those who don't have that luxury, Snow provides their customer's with a 3 Quart Reservoir. We recommend upgrading to the JDM Sti Spec C tank, which holds 12L.

Since safety is always a primary concern when dealing with methanol let alone any type of serious modification, we opted to implement Snow's Safe Injection system, which according to Snow, "is designed as an add-on to the Boost Cooler® water/methanol injection system. SafeInjection allows for a safe tune in those instances where no injection is present and an aggressive tune is utilized.This system reduces boost and/or timing anytime injection quantity goes below the set point regardless of the reason (ran out of fluid, clogged line, etc.). This sets your vehicle into a "safe mode" making your tune instantly conservative for the ultimate in safe water/methanol injection".

Norman's car also contains the following modifications:

1. 20G Turbo
2. TBE
3. Tomei Equal Length Exhaust Manifold
4. Modified 3bolt flange Tomei Up-pipe w/ 38MM EWG
5. Intake
6. SamcoTurbo Inlet
7. Perrin FMIC

NORMS 06 STi
