Meth, best value kit?

Hi Guys,

335i AT conv 2008 here,

mods: vishnu v5, topspeed exhaust system, AFE Stage 2 intake, raceland DP, Autowerke blow off,

In the mail: VRSF 7" IC

I want to add meth after.

What is the best value for a meth kit? Which brand? I want the cheapest but dont want to sacrifice quality, i dont want my engine to blow or wtv lol..

An is it true i can simply put windshield washer in the tank? lol

Thanks

Of all the mods out there, one that you really shouldnt skimp on is methanol injection. If you have a line kink, pump fail, etc your magic octane and charge cooling disappears. At that point you better have a good failsafe or you could be in SERIOUS trouble. DO NOT use you WW for meth, you are just begging to fireball your engine bay. Seriously, that kit is just not safe. Its not BMS' fault, theres simply no way to safely store high % meth in your washer tank, on the hot side of the motor. You spill 100% meth on a turbo bank or downpipe and youll have a blaze on your hands. Please save up and do it right, which imo means HFS4. If you go cheap on downpipes, they fit poorly. You go cheap on meth, your car could catch fire. Dont mean to scare you but its the truth.

Meth should be fully integrated with the tune. In OP's case it means pwm meth from Vishnu. Trunk installed.

First and foremost avoid windshield washer kits, they are prone to cause fires.

What is your budget? You can only go so far with a limited budget when it comes to quality.

Can I put pure meth in the tank? Or need to mix it with water myself?

Thanks

You can run 100% meth, but again do some research before you do that. It is extraordinarily flammable, and has a VERY low flash point. Assuming a quality kit you should be just fine, but if a leak were to develop you'd have a liquid blowtorch coming out of the car.

But there are plenty of people who go with 100% methanol, the cooling properties are tremendous.

I run pure all the time. No issues here. I do keep the tank in the trunk tho. I left the pump in the engine bay and have no issues at all. Never have air issues and have proceed drawing on setting 40.
