**This is the true Mitsubishi Stage-2 "Snow" Performance Boost Cooler kit that a lot of whispering has been done about. It is for the most part the same as any other Stage-2 Snow kit, but uses a two dimensional map for more accurate and more efficient methanol injection. This system uses boost and mas air flow to ensure the correct amount of methanol/water injection!
$399.00 **
Than step up to the 7 quart reservoir. If we could get this system for less I'm in all the way.

I might be interested in a group buy too.

I built my kit for about $150. I run a 50/50 mixture of methanol/H2O.
As we all know, our cars run rich under WOT to dissipate heat and prevent knock (over 50% enrichment if you are flowing more than 2.7 g/rev). This fuel is not burnt and is only added to displace heat. Unfortunately, gasoline is not effective at quenching heat and preventing knock. Water and methanol have considerably higher latent heat of vaporizations compared to gasoline and therefore quench more heat than gasoline. By injecting water/methanol into the cylinder you can remove a great deal of gasoline that isnt being burnt in the combustion process. This lowers combustion temperatures and slows the flame front (much like race fuel). This means that you can run more boost and advance timing.
Water has a greater latent heat compared to methanol and methanol is basically an octane booster. Some people have more success with 100% H2O while others have more success with a mixture of methanol and H2O. Keep in mind that methanol burns in a 6.5:1 ratio, so your desired A/F ratio will decrease.
These setups are perfect for street cars that run on pump gas and run high boost.

Yes, it is basically a "chemical intercooler". I was able to raise boost to from 21 to 24 psi and advance timing anywhere from 1 to 3 degrees (although I could probably add more).

lets do this! however, if we get a mitsu specific kit i'm out.

I have never seen a car specific kit. Most kits are universal. All you need is a pump, hobbs switch, wiring, water lines/fittings, check valve/solenoid, and injector.

the one unreal808 sounded mitsu specific, but yeah I havent seen any others that have been car specific. I have a car that is MAFless.
I also do not want a car specific kit as I run a stand alone ECU, so it would do me no good. I have always heard good things about the Aquamist setups.

Yay, all the Supercharged 3G Eclipse guys use an alcohol kit, so they can run more boost without having to replace the pistons, and for the fact that they don't use an intercooler. I would buy a kit if it was around $200.

I purchased the majority of my parts from here:
