meth injection ?

[scheffler]

Ok so i want to put on a meth kit, well fab my own anyway.So my ? is can i use a walbor 255 fuel pump as the pump for the meth injection, or will it just not make enough PSI.

[neverlift]

I think the issue is more along the lines of not being meth/water compatible....

IIRC its sureflow pumps, hell a washer squirter on a relay can probably do 50ish psi(if you run it regulated...) google homemade meth injection. its one of my future plans

[scheffler]

well 50 psi is not enough to atomize the injection or so i have heard. I dont know why a fuel pump would work with meth( no H2O) vs gas. I dont think that meth is more corrosive than gas.but i dont really know taht is why i am asking.

[neverlift]

Honestly its your money to try with, I just think its has been tried, or everyone in the kat section or boosted period would be running meth, I mean I can go to the junkyard and snag any efi fuel pump and crank it to 70psi .

If you go to mccaster car they sell misting nozzles and have a flow rating for 20psi~40psi~60psi~80psi~100psi I think the pressure reflects the misting ability of the size orifice....

I was using water to keep temps down till I got my head surfaced, it cost like 10 bux, a gatorade, bottle piece of random hose, and a .5 gph dripper(to regulate the amount ingested) only runs off vac without pump,BUT only works off idle till boost hits. Basically tappers off as vac decreases. Great economy minded setup(ran crazy high afr with this), but not so much for power...

good luck with your setup

I'm a meth addict...the fuel anyway

The 255lph pump needs to be submerged, is this the type of setup you're going to do? Almost any pump for any car will work at least for a little while. The pressure will huge because it's only coming out of one maybe two small jets. SO that's not really a concern. Meth IS however a lot more corrosive then gasoline and it gels up after time.

The shurflo pumps previously mentioned work very well, so does the MSD in line pump.

What type of injection setup do you want to build and I can definitely assist.

When it comes to Meth Brian is the man. You should see him twitch when you just mention it.

Check that article out, if your still using a maf that will help you out greatly. Its how you can set up your kit to run by adjusting to maf readings.

I guess it would just be a basic setup to keep temps down and get more octane nothin to fancy just one that will come on at a given amount of boost and will work properly as far the right flow and spray patern.

I am just trying to find out what parts have been tried and tested.

If the 255 LPH pump would work i could have it submersed I only ask about that pump is cause i have a extra one. So you know if i could use that instead of buying one. but if i have to get a different pump i will.

I think the 255 you already have will work fine.

[scheffler]

ok so then i will use that and do a right up. it will probly be a little while before the right up but

Thanks

do you thing that the pumo will have issues with the meth as far as corrosion?

Every now and then squirt in some Marvel Mystery Oil, it'll lube the seals and keep everything running up to par. Available at any auto parts store

ok so also what about the electronics do i need to worry about lighting the meth on fire with the pump submersed? I guess I could just insulate it really well but if i didn't insulate it or do a good job at it would i need to worry about that?

Ever change the fuel pump in your gas tank? Just naked wires sitting right in 20 gallons of wicked flammable liquid...lol. I admittedly had a hose and fire extinguisher when I changed my first pump.

In short no, you'll be fine.

An inline pump is definitely the way to go though IMO. They are cheap and work awesome. That lets you use any resovoir you want for the alcohol, I suggest a windshield washer type so you can use the included float switch for a low level light

[scheffler]

Oh yeah been there done that with the fuel pump. Just wanted to make sure. That is my plan to use the winshield washer type just have to see if i can submers a pump in there or if i have to go inline.

[WDRacing]

The hardest part will be getting the pump to stay put in one place...

[scheffler]

Yeah i will have to figure that out, but not to worried I fab up crazy stuff for my job so i think that part might take some time but I will get it.

when i do this i will post up a build thread.

Hey is a hobbs switch the way to go for a boost acuated system?
