Smc Trunk Mount Kits For New Price!!! Click Inside For Details And Pics
I'm making a new thread to put as much of the info as I can about the SMC trunk mount kits. the odl thread was getting long and hard to navigate to find what people were looking for. basically I'll be selling the kits for 495$ shipped for the holiday and will most likely keep that price as the new price after. The new kits are even easier to install and retain that stealth look where no one can tell you have it by looking in the trunk.
The kit includes:
-1 gallon trunk mount tank with flojet pump premounted to it. (3 gallon tank available also, but mounting solution is tough with that one
-Flojet pump capable of flowing methanol, alcohol, water, windshield fluid, or any combination.
-SS line to go from the pump to the nozzle
-All wiring needed for the pump and the controller, including a pre-soldered power wire to a fuse so its plug and play
-Version 2 controller, the most curretn one available, it has dip switches on the side so if you want to change nozzle size, you dont need it reflashed like the version 1 controllers. Also doesnt have problems like ther version 1 controllers did.
-Comes standard with an M7 jet. M7 is best for stock turbo but an M10 can also be used if your upgrading to a 20g/30R or soemthing similar soon. An M15 jet is also available for people with larger turbos such as the 35R.
Basically with this kit youc an run 30 psi on stock turbo, or pretty much on any turbo if you have the supporting mods and tuning for it. Most tuners seems to be starting the aggresive timing right around 10 psi, so running 20 psi on pump without methanol wont be an option unless u have dual maps. ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO RUN AROUND 20 PSI ON PUMP NOW WANT TO JUST RUN THE EXTRA 10 (30 PSI) WITH THE METHANOL AND THEN TURN IT BACK DOWN TO 20 AND NOT SPRAY IT. YOU CAN DO THIS IF YOUR TUNE IS SETUP FOR IT, OTHERWISE IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT, YOU'D NEED A CONSERVATIVE MAP FOR 20 PSI AND THE AGGRESSIVE MAP FROM 10 PSI UP TO 30 TO GAIN THE MOST POWER FROM THE INJECTION KIT.
it doesnt come with a switch but you can wire one into the power wire if need be.
Below are pics of the kit. The first is the tank with the pump mounted to it. The nozzle off the left side of the pump now faces down. Thats the only difference from the pic.

Heres a pic of the kit mounted in the trunk with cover re-installed. You can see there is basically nothing showing a methanol kit back there
Heres a pic of the tank with the pump mounted to it again, closer on the connection
Heres a pic of the dip switch on the version 2 controller, so you can change nozzle sizes without needing a reflash (when I say reflash, i mean the controller, not an ecu reflash. if you change nozzles after a tune, you will need a retune of the car itself.)

But since the aggressive tune nature and amount of boost people run with these kits, I definitely think it's a good idea to test it often before use. it ant hurt to test it.
mag48 The plastic tank supplied is fine to hold it. Most gas tanks are plastic in modern cars and they outlast the life of the car. The plastic tank should be no issue. The bolt in kits for 2003-2004 evos utilize the stock intercooler sprayer tank and no one has had a problem yet. Yes 100% methanol is corrosive in liquid form, but 50/50 with water seems to not be corrosive. Steve from SMC still says his tanks shouldnt have a problem with 100% meth but thats up to the user. You have a ton of choices of what you want to run from 100% water, 100% meth, 100% alcohol, 100% windshield washer fluid and 50/50 of those things.
to answer your other question, its hard to say how long it will last exactly because it depends on your driving habits. If your always on 28 psi and usually flooring it then prob 3 gallons of fluid to 2 gas tank refills. If you drive moderate to normal you'll prob get 4-5 gas tank refills for 3 gallons of fluid. Its hard to say because if your cruising on the highway at 2 psi your using gas but no fluid. And yes alcohol/methanol cools your intake air temps so much that you can run 27-29 psi on pump gas. IT ALSO ALLOWS AGGRESSIVE TIMING MAPS TO BE RUN WITHOUT KNOCKING. THIS IS THE REASON WHY YOU CANT JUST RUN 20 PSI AND TURN THE ALCOHOL OFF. THESE KITS USUALLY START SPRAYING AROUND 12-14 PSI AND MOST TUNERS WILL START THE AGGRESSIVE TIMING RIGHT AROUND THERE. IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO NOT RUN THE ALCOHOL SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO RUN <14PSI .
fromWRXtoEVO As far as the under hood tank goes yes You can run a 1/2 gallon tank but you would be refilling it all the time if you drive at all aggressive. the stock intercooler sprayer is a little over a gallon and my friend with his 03 fills it up almost every gas tank refill. SO basically your going to end up carrying around tanks of meth, alky, or whatever your using in your trunk anyway. I'd rather have it in the trunk. Plus most car accidents involve the fronts of cars so if your gonna be splling flammable liquid, i'd rather have it in teht runk away from my motor and the cabin of the car. I know there is no firewall from the trunk to the back seat, but most likely if it does ignite (which is unlikely) it might be easier to get out. As far as tesing on a 2005 car goes trust me I would have done it myself on my 2005. While alot of people have mini battery kits, alot of people also dont. I might be able to order you a kit with a universal 1/2 gallon tank if you want for no extra charge. pm me if your interested

-Comes with every single part you need to install it on mitsubishi evo 8.
-Comes with the SS line that is pre-cut to the perfect lenght for the evo
-Come with the power wire soldered to a 20 amp fuse that you replace on of your factory fuses with so you dont have to splice a power wire
-Comes with a 1 gallon resovoir (if you choose it) that fits perfectly into the cubby hole on the left side of the trunk
-Comes with a Progressive controller that raises spray PSI by how many lbs of boost your running
-Comes with a low level light, spray light that comes on when your spraying, and a arm light that is always on so you know there is power to the unit
-Comes with a pump that can spray 100% water, 100% methanol, 100% alcohol, and any combo of 50/50 of any of those.
-Comes with a test button that you can use to make sure its working.
-Comes with a pressure gauge so you can check the system
-Very easy to install, all you need to do is drill a hole in the intercooler pipe, no tapping or welding.
IDK how those kits are from that other site, but this kit is proven and complete and it Evo specific. Its easy to install and works. I'm sure if you by all the options that this kit comes with it will be close to the same price as the kit i'm selling.

as far as finished look go with the 1 gallon tank. the 3 gallon is tough to mount and bulky and would be very tough to keep it clean looking. you Might be able to pull the spare out and squeeze it down there but IDK for sure, you might have to cut away some of the metal used to mount the spare and I wouldnt wanna do that on a practically brand new car. i keep a 2 gallon plastic gas can in my car at all times so i can always refill my tank once in case i run out and i'm not close to home. It just sits behind my seat and when I need it I just refill. But Like I said I drive crazy.
you cant really equivilate meth refills to gas refills. I go to school and work during the week so I drive half way normal. SO mon-fri I prob go through one tank of meth and 3/4-1 full tank of gas. this is driving halfay crazy, couple 4th and 5th gear pulls on the way to work daily.
between fri night and sunday night I prob refill at least twice. I go out on the weekends to local hangout spots/races/etc... and use a lot of methanol.
with my driving habits and doing about 1500 miles a month i go through about 12 gallons of meth a month

its the 264 cams that brought my power down. he told me if i had 272's or 280's that i would have had some higher numbers. but i'll be waiting to change out my cams until TT comes back to dallas. now i'm in search for a clutch since it started slipping right after i got tuned.
but i'm happy with it, it pulls very hard in 3rd and 4th.
thanks again steve for the alky kit

price will at least be the same. as far as group buy, i might be able to put something together in a few weeks. The kits are pretty much ready to go. worse case 1 week before it would ship. in about a week or 2 i'll have kits in stock so they will be able to be shipped out right away.

its gonna be out soon, basically it will be inline with your boost controller. As far as i know if your set your boost controller to run lets say, 21 psi and you want to run 30 psi on the meth kit. Well, teh failsafe device would bleed off that extra 9 psi for you to achieve the desired 30 psi. If the pup failed, the device would close dropping your boost down to 21 psi. Now since we all run such aggressive timing, i'm sure it would help, but to be perfect, i think the best method would be to have it drop the car to 10 psi. OR what i'd like to see if the use of greddy dual stage profec type s's. They have an output to switch from the high and low boost settings so in essence once could have the pump ailing activate a relay that sent power to the boost controller to switch from high to low boost. but the failsafe device he's making will be cheaper.
so they are making it strictly for manual boost controllers? and you are just hoping they make something else for electronical boost controllers right- or they are also? What about something like a xede or utec with the ability to switch 2 different maps?
Guys and girls, this is a great product, I had it on my car for one month now and I am very happy with it. This particular kit comes with enough suppply line that you don't have to go to Home Depot to get and extension.
Don't ask yourself the question about if you should get the 2.5gallon tank or the 1 gallon tank, the answer is the one gallon tank is more than sufficient.
This kit consumes very little, obaviously it depends on how much you floor it but it you drive in normal conditions you wouldn't have to refill in at least 3 full tanks.
The low reserve light comes very early but the good thing is that you have plenty of fluid by then(about 1/3).
I bought a special plastic comntainer that measures the liquid quantity and I will test the reserve light for its capacity.
Evn without the tunning the car felt significantly faster. Plan ahead, these kits are normally not in stock and the demand is huge.
Consult with othe Evo owners that have this kit already, I choose the Number 7 Nozzle.
Feel free to pm me for more pics or questions on the installation.
That was my .2c feedback
