like the title say what are some positives and negative of installing meth kit on a Evo 9. Also mentions problems u had w/ ur meth kit and what r good brand ones to get. Sorry if its a repost

 

Positive = It makes you go fast
Negative = It's expensive, not unlike anything else on an Evo.

 

What would make you think this thread could possibly be a repost?

 

This is the first time I get to say this ... but ... SEARCH!

There are plenty of positives and negatives. Feel free to message me and I will tell you my experience and share some links with you, but there are members that know much more then I, and would have much more in depth answers.

Cheers.

 

Neg... just another thing to worry about failing.

 

i was thinking about snow performance and its not that expensive

 

pos = MORE power
neg = a drug addicted car...

 

^ lol

 

^ serioulsy Dan's right. Car doesn't feel right not using meth. It's in the back of your head...I can't drive my car off meth without thinking. "If only I was on meth" I'm never going back to straight pump gas.

 

^did u have any problems w/ it?

 

everyone knows the positives i think. i think the biggest negative is running out of meth, pump failure,ect,ect. there are ways around these problems though. you can set up safety measures with aem. its can be very safe as long as you keep everything in check. i have it and LOVE it.

theres a million topics on this subject

aquamist is the best/safest kit avaiable, but also close to 900 bucks. you get what you pay for

 

OF course. Leaks are your biggest issue. Meth wears away at fittings over time along with heat...that's where one of the biggest issues lie. Take my recent example car was hitting lean spots during spool up. These were the same spots where the meth would hit so my failsafe kept going off...adjusted the fuel curves(this was after I fixed 2/3 boost leaks) ...still triggering failsafe. Decided to manually activate the kit, leaks on two quick connect fittings. Solution, teflon tape and expand the 1/4" tubing at the ends. The leaks were causing the lean spots, meth wasn't spraying as hard. Went for a pull with the leaks fixed...no more lean spot.

So, you have to be on top of your kit. It's a pain to be looking over something that should be a one time install and just go. It's not. Definitely worth the effor for the results

 

1 word........aquamist.

 

Just make sure you have a failsafe installed and get two maps, a laptop and a tactrix cable.
If you ever run out of Meth, or the kit is failing, you can switch to a pump gas tune and keep on going!
