Meth switch-on Point
Hey guys can you tell me what determines what activation % u choose for your meth to start spraying? I have my car tuned on 93 to 28 psi. Should I set it that it hits full spray at max torque and tune for more boost from that point? Im using FIC 1050cc with a 1.0 and a 0.8 jet and my potentiometer is set to the earliest point 12%. This barely allow me to spray full by full load/max torque. Let me know how your are set-up. Thanks .

For IDC system, you don't really need to do much because the fuel flow is already catered for max torque region so the process is automatic.
If you own an aquamist H3 or H6, you can increase the gain trimmer so the meth ramps up faster than the fuel.
The start of the extra ramp is at the point of trigger on HFS-3. But if you own a HFS-6, you can set the ramp rate at any point after triggerig.

What system do you have?

I have a HFS-5 kit. It all depends on injector size. with my stock motor, stock turbo, I had mine set at 12oclock which started to spray around 15psi .Same settings with the new build motor/fp Black/1050s the spray started at 28psi and almost redline

If you don't have enough IDC signal due to large injectors, you have two choices:
1. Add more jets
2. Double pulse the HFS-5 input
If you have DDS3 v10, you can configure to be an on/off system.

I have mine triggering at about 25% IDC. You definetly want the meth to start to hit before you are at peak torque. That way you are already reaping the benefits before you get there. With the HFS-3/5/6 you can set the trigger point quite low and not have any issues with spray and atomization. You will simply have to use a wider fail safe window.
Lol I could not see past the ford ad to tell that you already had it low. You are fine with it down there.

I have a Labonte with 3GS controller. Stock turbo and motor at 26psi. Have an M10 nozzle but set as a M5 on ththe 3GS controller. Gain is 0% and starts at 8psi. I was told it should be set to start at 1/3 of total boost. Says so in the manual too. Never tried setting it up to 15psi. I do feel a dramatic change in acceleration after 8psi but it seems short lived and becomes average acceleration towards 18-26

Are any of you guys using 2 x 1.0mm jets for your 100% meth alky kit? I have fic 1050cc injectors and would like to know if I have my trip adjustment set at 12%, could I cause the car to misfire due to too much alky too early?

No, it will not happen if you have a IDC tracking, (PWM valve) system, At low trip, it will inject less because IDC is low.
One more comment. as you have large injectors, the IDC is low natually so the chance of over-injecting is very little. Make sure you have a progressive systemn and not the HFS-1 (all on/all off)
