My sister lives in Atlanta, I can get it sent to her, then she ships it to me. But Summit Racing have it the cheapest. But they say they are nil stock...

But yeah, about 5 days to get it here.

For the guys that have it already, where are you mounting everything? Pump, reservoir???

I had water methanol set up many years ago on my XF turbo. I worked great

and am considering installing to my bf. For those of you wishing to do on

cheap.. and I WILL NOT personally do it but it works..... A 6 to 8 psi pressure

switch and wire up to your washer bottle, then re direct windscreen squirters

to intake. use a mist spray from Mitre 10 garden dept.. This is how it was

set up on my XF (made cleaning windscreen costly) but can be done for

under $100.....

I have mine all fitted up

with a bit of luck I will have it tuned ready for the strip this week, I am going from 318rwkw and looking to make about 350rwkw, it will be interesting how much extra boost I need to make the power with the water/ethanol injection.

Yes that's water/ETHANOL as I am using 50/50 water and methylated spirits which is 95% ethanol and 5% methanol

ill give you some tips.

unless you are fitting the reservoir in the boot forget using the bottle they give you with the kit as it wont fit anywhere, if you want to fit it in the boot you need the solenoid upgrade kit. The pump will also have to be fitted near the reservoir so you will need probably an extra 6m of tubing.

I used my washer bottle as the reservoir you can still wash your windscreen with the 50/50 water metho mix as most washer fluid is 50% alcohol anyway.

The pump is very quiet, undetectable from in cabin.

The wiring is a piece of piss

You will need a 1/8 npt fitting with the smallest diameter hose barb on it that you can get as the boost signal hose is very small that runs to the little ecu that runs it.
