Exclamation Post your methanol settings!

Wondering if everyone running methanol (with a boost controller) can post their settings for min and max psi start, what boost they actually see flow start, and what hardware you're using.

I had mine set at 7psi min and 14psi max, but was not seeing flow until almost 11psi - curious if others see the same thing, or if I might have a hardware issue. Also, post some logs if you have them! Here are my numbers with new settings:

Min psi: 4
Max psi: 12
Flow starts at: 6-8 psi
Controller: Labonte


Here are a few partial throttle logs that show the results with the new settings.

Also - it's pretty cool that you can see the PROcede progressive map switching in action in the first log. It's not as obvious in WOT logs but here you can see the UT (Debug byte 5) moving right in line with meth flow between my 2 map settings

Cool - do you have any logs of when you actually start to see meth flow?

Thanks for the responses guys. When are you seeing the actual meth flow with those settings?

You shouldn't be flowing methanol under stock boost, so the earliest I would start is 7PSI

Yeah - my issue is when I had it set for 7, it didn't actually flow until 11psi. So I set it for 4 and now I'm seeing it start ~7+. Wondering if this is hardware issue, or normal for what people are seeing.

The adjustement dial on the controller is not the best and accurate to tell what number you dialed it to...Best bet is do what you have done to log it and dial it in...I had a hard time dialing it to where I wanted and the adjustment dial is so sensitive!
