Gamer Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 You can purchase some meth from here mate... Just do not say it is for use in a proper motor vehicle http://www.alansmodels.com/main_site/engines/index.htm I also have a link to an eBay seller selling meth if you need it.

Guest zazzn Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 also you could go to alkycontrol.com i think it is there is lots of them... Most of them you CANNOT run FULL meth simply because the O rings where not designed to run meth. However, on ebay there is a brand I can't remember the site that has so many kits and it will run meth. I've been using my meth kit for a lil over a year.. it's worth every penny...

paul mac Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 totally useless snipit of info ~ In 1942, the German Luftwaffe increased the horsepower of the Focke-Wulf 190D-9 fighter aircraft from 1776HP to 2240HP using 50/50% water/methanol injection. thats a fair hike in power but i think they could only run this as emergency boost for about 30 seconds then the engine went:bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 ...Most of them you CANNOT run FULL meth simply because the O rings where not designed to run meth. ... True. The Aquamist pump is rated as 'safe' at 50% meth. Ethanol is tolerated at an even lower concentration. However, you can ask them to send you (free, most likely) an alternative O-ring which can take 100% meth. You will need to dismantle the pump, so you have to be reasonably competent mechanically. Nothing major. I can't think of many applications where over 50% meth would be an improvement though (plus it would be a flammable liquid sitting in the engine bay - up to 50% water is not flammable;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
