it ends being about 44% methanol....BE SURE it does NOT contain glycol. If it does go buy some cheaper fluid. Usually all of the de-icers have Glycol.

I think the highest you could possibly buy is 44% and it is unlikely that some random windshield washer fluid you have is that high.

It completely depends on the brand and how cold it can withstand. I would just buy some sno boost juice. Its pre mixed methanol 49/50 and you can get it fairly cheap in packs on ebay. The winshield fluid route seems janky to me in my opinion. I dont want to spray that into my $17K engine.

I don't have one, yet....but I looked into a system for a turbo'ed celica project yeaaars back. If you have the room I'd say at least 1 gallon tank-----I'd prefer 2 and would love to do something like full-race did with a 5 gallon tank.

It depends on how much you are in WOT and how much you're spraying. TRACK DAYS will eat it up. Everyday driving ... a gallon will probably last you at least 1-1/2 to 2 tank fulls. Heck I'd say a 2qt like this system will last you one full tank of fuel.

Remember track days are where you are really going be getting a few runs until empty.

Yup, definitely depends on how much you go WOT. I was going WOT quite a bit testing my truck out and my 1 gallon resevoir went dry by the end of the day. My unit has an off switch too so I just turn it off for daily driving (when not tuned for it).

That would def make for a nice system, do you know if they offered a larger reservoir?

It should be no problem getting a larger resevoir... the issue is where to put it

If larger than 1 gallon the only place would probably be in the bed, then you just need to figure out how to run the lines and with steel braided that will raise the price of the kit for sure, but he can absolutely make the line as needed in any length.

Does anyone have any dyno numbers on any of these kits? I've looked to see how much of a benefit they are... to no avail. I've got Full-Race exhaust, SCT Livewire, AEM Air Filter, Full-Race Intercooler w/TiAL BOV on order, and was thinking about getting their Meth kit when it's available...
