I'm planning a trunk tank for my methanol kit. How did you run the line from the trunk tank? I'm thinking underneath the passenger side of the car since the centrifugal pipe comes up from that side. Did you run it through the air box like fuel lines? Any info would be appreciated on the path you guys took.

I ran mine through the interior of the car, down the door sill and through the firewall.

I ran the lines out the bottom of the trunk and the pump is right there. I have a good bit of electronics in the trunk like remote control switching and relays for N2O, BAP and line lock. I ran the line up the driver's side, but I have the N2O line running up the passenger side. I don't see a lot of difference although coming up the driver's side puts me a hair closer to the ports on the intake I spray through.

"They" say "don't run anything flammable through the cockpit." On that note, I ran my meth line from the battery well tank, driver's side of the trunk behind the rear seat, under the driver's door sill (following the main positive power line), through the dash bulkhead behind the instrument panel, to my intake tubing before the TB.

Where do you guys get your methanol from?

CamaroCracka · 09-17-2022, 08:58 AM

I moved the IAT to just before the TB and you can see the drop in IAT in the scans. My tuner does not like to advance timing based on IAT with the turbo just in case the meth runs out. I know, if the meth runs out the IATs would go back up, but I did the meth more for insurance against detonation and did not want to take it to the ragged edge just yet.

I get my meth from Space Coast Speed and custom. I've also gotten it from the Speed Shop in Longwood, but Space Coast is closer for me. FYI, Space Coast is off the main road and Rob is pretty much dedicated to machining for race engines etc. so he does not need a store front and stays very busy. If you are using a mix, you can get premix from the kit vendors or even use -50 degree windshield washer fluid if you can find it.

Local racetrack sells race fuels and E85 for a good price
