Meth Setups
Guys,
I'm planning on installing a Alky Control setup this spring. I'd like some pictures and info on your setups. What you got? Where do you buy your meth? And what do you run for a mix? 50/50? 100%?
Thanks,
JesseJay

Also keep in mind that you will need a good tuner and Doug (ECS) is coming to Straightline in New Lenox IL. to tune in April! I would take advantage of this opportunity and have him tune your car!

My Intake pipe is from ECS and they pre drilled the holes for the meth and AIT sensor. Apparently they feel this is the proper location and do this for all of there customers, so I'm not going to argue on this matter!
You can always call ECS and tell them that they are wrong? Good luck with that!

The idea, I'm sure, is that if the meth fails then the IAT sensor will reflect it immediately. They then tune the car to pull timing if the IAT temp sensor reads a certain temp while in boost. It's a clever way to introduce a failsafe system. Another alternative would be to install a flow meter on the methanol system and figure out a way to make that pull timing or pull vacuum from the BOV. Some turbo cars are setup to open wastegates on the loss of meth.

My nozzle is in the same position, installed the kit myself up to the point where ECS drilled for and installed the nozzle.
Pretty easy install, just a few wires to run and connect, pump gets mounted behind the drivers front wheel.
Installed Alcycontrol on both of my Buicks
, a MUST have with those cars.
Bought 10 gallons while at ECS and probably have 8 gallons left.
1 issue I have is I still haven't replaced the windshield wiper tank\pump, being a daily driver I still need this to work as driving around with Windex and paper towles is getting old
anybody have pics of a replacement ww tank setup?

Most PCMs are set up so nothing happens when the IATs are low, only high, so going down isn't as crucial as going up.

In my opinion, you are seeing "real IAT". The methanol is atomized in to the air charge. It is not sprayed directly onto the IAT sensor. Not that it matters anyway since you tune for methanol. Even If the IAT is artificiallly skewed, you tune based off of those skewed numbers. Ex: If the IAT sensor is showing 20 degree IAT due to methanol, but you still register KR, then you would respond to it by adjusting fuel, methanol, and/or timing just as you would if the IAT was reading 180 degrees. I could be wrong, but based off of my very limited understanding of HPTuners and tuning in general, I don't think I am that far off base. As long as the IAT are consistently skewed then you are fine for tuning. JMHO

I was told to keep a minimum 6" seperation between the nozzle and the IAT sensor. The MAFless tube from A&A is only about 15", if I recall correctly.
