Meth Nozzle completely clogged!! *pic*

Postby SirThomas88 » Tue Apr 03, 2012 7:08 pm

So I took off my 225ml snow performance methanol injection nozzle to upgrade to a 625ml one and discovered that the nozzle I had been using is clogged!

Argh. And now my 625ml is so big that I went through over a gallon of methanol street tuning and STILL haven't finished tuning. My reservoir is the small 2 quart tank. Probably going to relocate my battery to the trunk and buy a bigger tank to fit where the battery tray is, and install a more moderate 325ml nozzle.

The old nozzle has been in there for probably two years. The red is the dye of the snow performance methanol. The blue is the dye of the windshield washer fluid I used recently in place of the snow performance brand meth.

Gonna contact Snow Performance about this and see what they say. Maybe they'll send me a nozzle for free?

Hmm. Thanks for the tip! I'll do some more research on it and pick up a can.

So I guess this is normal and not something I should get my panties in a bunch over, huh?

Over time it'll happen. When my car sat for 6 weeks there was all kinds of crap in the tank. This was actually suggested by the owner of DevilsOwn

I can't complain about it. I just went with their basic stage one low boost kit (pressure switch activated) I wasn't really too concerned with controlling flow since my primary use was knock protection. If you're not looking for anything fancy, its kinda hard to beat for its price. They all pretty much do the same thing, it just the extra you get that drive the price up

that's actually a pretty good suggestion....my car's been sitting for awhile now, so I should probably check the nozzle and filter to see what condition they're in
