Alcohol Kit and Dyno Flash
Hey, you have to be 18 to order one don't you (doll) 
I figure a few of us are twice that or more...
Back on topic, how long is it going to be now, before we have kits available that can run the windshield fluid?

Their are already kits out their that can do this. If you want more info PM me.

Finally, we have the through the mail flashes ready to go which are pre-tuned to go with this kit - so its a hard combination to beat. Its a total plug and play solution - tested and verfified and all the leg work done.

The wonderful think about this kit that I am selling is that it is designed for the evo and all the parts are already installed and built into the stock evo intercooler sprayer bottle. Its a very clean install. Plus - the progrssive controller functions exceptionally well.

But for $499.99 plus $175.00 additional for a SS pump is Crazy IMO. The same can be done but ALOT cheaper at the moment. This is nothing NEW that you are offering here, it's been in the DSM crowd for Hella long time

.In any event - there are lots of options out there - this is just a really nice kit - well packaged and goes hand in hand with my flash tuning for a very well running and easy solution for a very good price.

vtsnake it will not work on the 05's because they no longer have the intercooler sprayer option. So there is no place to put the tank I believe the ACD resivoir sits in it's place now. It is desinged to replace your existing intercooler sprayer tank so if you dont have one there is no place to put it. With the new kit I believe they are working on a new tank.

With a hybrid mix of 20% alcohol the ideal a/f is much lower - prob somewhere in the 11 range allowing tyou to run into the 10's and still be making peak power.
If this is the case wouldn't it be more effective to run straight methanol??
As far as the washer fluid goes, let's not forget that it contains glycol which over time will cause build up in the nooks and crannies inside the intake manifold, and valvtrain. A friend ran a system like this on his wrx, and when we took the motor apart he had blue deposits all over the place.

BUT - staight gas yields the most BTU's
Alcohol is approx 705 or so the BTU's as gas - BUT since it can be run 2 times as rich you get 140% the power yeild as staight gas - my figures are approximate as I do not have time to consult my notes
80% gas and 20% alcohol will yield approx 110 - 115% of the BTU's of staight gas b/c you can run more fuel and still have a clean burn
Personally I prefer 100% alcohol
I don't remember exactly but I believe that methanol creates about the same btu's as alcohol but at a lower stoichiometric value (5.5:1 I believe where ethyl alcohol is 6.5:1). If this is true then theoretically it would yield even more power to run straight methanol, while at the same time giving you a more stable additive to work with.
That being said, are there any aluminum parts in the kit??
