Called cooling mist if I.buy the progressive controler and fail safe they'll throw in the rest for free so I still save 300 And I can't complain for getting the t25 and ct26 and a ct20 and the stage 1 kit for my non cracked turbo so its all a win win

Yeah I wouldnt boost over 15psi/1Bar. Theyre heat pumps past that. The good news is, boost will be almost instantaneous and theyre pretty durable. And as I stated above, if you fit for that turbo then future upgrading will be very simple.

http://www.frsport.com/Garrett-Ball-...ies_c_228.html - Everything 3071 and down would bolt up

http://www.frsport.com/Tomei-Turbochargers_c_392.html - All of these would bolt up and are made on the indestructible MHI centers

http://www.compturbo.com/products/ct2 - Most all of these in the CT2 frames will bolt up (maybe all, I cant remember). Also some have the oilless option where you grease your turbo every thousand miles or so. Then they only require liquid cooling. I was skeptical at first but I been made a believer in them

That is a good deal then, I just don't trust their pressure switch, seen a few fail. Although that might have been due to them not running relays as per the instructions, it needs a relay.

Far as nozzle size, I would start out with a 7-10gph nozzle and see where you stand. Might want more or possibly less if you can't find pure methanol around you to mix your own with.

Always better erroring with too large of a nozzle then too small.

Yup t25 and how do i tell what size the nozzle is its not stamped ? Like I said this kit is using a relay. Hope to get at least 250 whp with the head I have now I also bought a bob valve head that I'm going to fully port to 220cfm compared to my 170 I have now

Well if there are no markings then only way to know is to hook up the pump, then spray the nozzle into a container or fill a 1 gallon jug, time it and calculate the GPH.

Yes, that is what I would get, 7, 10 and 14gph is where I would start to save on shipping costs. Although the coolingmist kit should come with a nozzle so you could get the 10gph from them to start with and then see how it works.

How would I get a progressive system to use two nozzles or even the stage one kit I have? Cuz wouldn't progressive with two nozzles be best ? After I.get it turboed and running ill save up to buy the progrssive controler and fail safe from cooling mist

Like I said, rig the kit to spray into either a 1 gallon jug or something of fixed size and then time it, you can then calculate the flow rate. Make sure the truck is running when you do the test as it draws a lot of power.

10gph would be a good starting point indeed, See how it works and it might even want more. You want the largest nozzle you can use before it starts to bog or you can not control AFR's.

100% methanol is fine but don't be afraid to play with the water/meth mixture, some cars like different mixes then others although at the extreme side methanol will generally make more power.

Don't worry about using 2 nozzles for now, a single nozzle should be fine, not until you get over 14gph of flow do 2 nozzles become necessary and even then it is just a matter of getting a hose splitter and putting in another nozzle.

The only reason to run a staged setup is if you are having tuning issues and can't handle a big nozzle at low RPM's/boost. This doesn't usually become a problem until really high flow rates though.

That should work, with careful tuning and keeping timing safe until you get it on the dyno to properly tune it you should be just fine.

Also for nozzle placement, you want it at the intercooler exit or as close to it as you can without risking the hose being close to something shapr/hot.

90% of the issues I have seen with modern methanol kits can be traced back in some form to improper install or improper maintenance. Treat it like a fuel system, keep the hose away from anything that might heat it up or damage it.
