Methanol 4.0

I'm running the trd injectors that came with the s/c. I just picked an injector and tapped off it. If a harness location gives the same signal it should be just fine.

 

@White lightning boosted How many miles have you been running meth now sir?

 

Does anyone know what size nozzles come with the stage three snow performance kit? I don't see it on their website.. I will give them a call tomorrow if no one knows..

 

Mine came with #3 & #5 currently running #3 good for motors between 200 and 400 hp.

 

Right on, the #3 is what i wanted to run. Just pulled the trigger on it tonight, looking forward to getting it installed and see what kind of difference it makes

 

Cool man. It's best with tuning for sure. But better octane, cooling, and cheap insurance for melting motors is my reason. I'm doing a custom tune very soon. Cant wait to see the outcome!

 

What’s main difference between the stage 3 controller and the maf/map controller from snow performance?

 

You're running the stage 3 controller right? thats what i went with. Probably going to tie it into the injector wiring. If i could get my damn Ucon to work, that would be great for tuning so it could adjust timing. Looks like ill be running the TRD tune for a while though, so ill have to just take what i can get with snow's controller

 

Stage 3 I have. It has infinite adjustments. So for fine tuning on the dyno it's great. It reads boost, maf, or a combo of each. Adjustments in 1% incrementally. Show pulse width of injector too so I can see how far I can go before upgrading.

 

It also has a built in boost gauge. It reads higher than my aem. My aem gauge reads low for my mods and elevation. Might have to get a mechanical gauge to get a 3rd take on the truth.

 

Tapping the injector wires is super simple. Just pick one that's easy to get too. You're already ahead of me with ucon. It automatically adjusts for meth.

 

Well, if my UCon would work, i might be. Im about to take it out though and try the TRD tune. Fairly confident my UCon has been causing my truck to run lean. its either that, the injectors, or the fuel pump. Replaced the fuel pump about 8k miles ago as well as the injectors with the Maggy s/c kit, so i think it's the UCon. Would like to get a replacement so i could run that with bigger injectors. We'll see what happens when i throw in the TRD tune this weekend

 

Meth ads quite a bit of fuel too. I was running a stock fuel pump with a 2.7 pulley. Afr's were fine. I was told it wouldn't work, but it seemed fine. What afr's were the ucon putting out?

 

I was ridiculous rich with meth and trd tune. I could probably run a 2" pulley.

 

AFRs are in the mid 10s- 11s for the most part, but for some reason at WOT sometimes, the passenger bank leans out to the high 12s and then the guardian kicks in. I have also had numerous codes thrown with the ucon. 16 total. Everything from all the coil pack codes, to misfire codes, to throttle postion sensor, etc. it has been a shit show. If nothing less, hopefully the meth richens things up. Going to try the trd tune as soon as i get it back so i can see if i can isolate that as the root cause of the problems. Also have 2.6 and 2.7 pulleys waiting to be installed if things are too rich.

 

The other day, i stalled the truck out at a red light, and then it wouldnt start back up. Had to push it off the road, reset the battery for 3 minutes to reset the ucon, and then it fired right up. Makes me almost 100% sure the ucon has been causing everything

 

Hmm. Ucon hiccups. Hope they give you a new one. Jegs seems to be the cheapest for boost juice. I usually buy 8 gallons and a couple oil filters to meet the 100 for free shipping. They have a 10% off coupon now too.

 

Yep thats what im thinking.. i am looking at VP racing fuels as a source for meth. They sell 99.95% by the 5 gallon pale for 39 bucks plus shipping. Not sure how much shipping will be but im gonna try to buy in bulk and then mix it myself with distilled water.. we'll see what happens. I bought some boost juice with my order though to get me started

 

Nice! Just make sure to make it 50/50 running pure will net a 6% gain but fail your pump. 50/50 is proven the best.

 

Yessir, thats the plan 50/50 is the best from everything ive read. I just want to buy pure so i can get more for my money. Unfortunately we dont have the -20washer fluid here in tx, or id try to mix my own with that and heat.
