Meth inj. And chips???

[IpHoOnDyou]

Hey guys my brother just joined the club, he just bought Syclone #0945 i believe. And he has a meth inj system on the truck and a chip i believe, my question is......... is meth inj safe for the truck? and what kind of chip could i run in the typhoon and just get a lil more h.p? Just so were clear i own a Ty and my brother owns the Sy, I know this might be a stupid question to some people but i have always just worked on basicly stock vehicles(I am a KIA Tech) so that should explain everything. I have never experimented with meth or chips so im basicly lost and would like some guidence. Thanks fellow syty members

Re: Meth inj. And chips???

IMO, you have waaay more to learn than if you bought yourself a stock truck. First I would find out what chip you do have. If its a custom chip I'd leave it alone til you get to know your way around the truck better. If you are on the stock chip, find out what the truck is doing when running under boost. Best thing to do is to get Data Master, software for your lap top that will tell you pretty everything your truck does. Does the truck have a WB02?

get to know your locals, too. Never know when/if the truck's gonna crap out and leave you by the side of the road.

I just wana know if the meth inj is gonna be ok for the truck and not kill it........ As a tech i dont get to experiment with these power adders and just want to know if i put a meth inj system on my Ty it will not blow it up. As far as the chip goes i have no clue what brand or style it is? What i do know is that there is a switch on the dash that says STOCK and the other option says(and im not joking about this) GO FAST! LOL. And when you put this switch in either of the two settings you can notice a HUGE diffrence, I would have to say an increse of 70h.p. What i want to know is what chip can i get for my truck that will do the same as my brothers.....Just shoot me some ideas....and if meth would be safe? and what kit i should get? And what do i put in the meth holding tank? Do i have to get a special fluid? thanks again guys

Re: Meth inj. And chips???

First thing you will need to understand is, WB is pretty much everything. Some guys get lucky IMO with out them. The WB tells you your exact AFR, with out it you are looking at milli volts which to me isn't the best measure. Alky is highly recommended for getting our trucks to go fast. But the trick is that you have to be very careful and know what you are doing. In other words, have the ability to know what the tune is doing, know if you're low on alky, know if you have a plugged nozzle.

As far as the chip goes, if you can't figure out what it is and just want to replace it with something like your brothers' chip then you really are off to a bad start. If you claim you are feeling a 70hp increase then it sounds to me like you have a decent chip in there and it was a custom tune for that truck and the alky set up. Don't put yourself in that category of people looking for some off the shelf crap that everyone knows will be hit or miss. If you want real results and real control, learn to tune or pay someone to learn your truck and work on it. At the very least, learn how to tell what your truck is doing. Get Data Master

to answer your question, yes the methanol injection is good for your truck. No you will not blow it up by adding to much meth. it will just lay over and the ignition will break up. However you can damage the truck if your engine is making more boost and relying on the methanol to prevent detonation (additional octane) and your system fails, clogs, whatever.. then you go lean and bad things happen.

It is not like nitrous.. it is basically high octane. A) it helps cool the intake charge and B) it allows you to run a more aggressive tune. With a high quality kit like the Alky Control kit you can reap race gas performance on 91 octane..

as mentioned.. most important thing is verifying detonation via knock retard with a scan tool like a datamaster. Software and cable is $199 (we have them in stock) and is crucial if you plan on doing any work yourself. a WB02 is also a good tuning aid and can be patched into and viewed in the datamaster. There are few people who know how to properly tune these trucks, but more people who dont.. So whenever buying something unknown it is best to take those extra steps and think worst case...
