The only thing I want it for is to fight carbon build up. I think a small nozzle with a simple hobbs switch at around 15psi and a dash indicator to monitor activity would be fine. That should come in at a total cost equal to the the price of the pump of your choice plus about $50 worth of wire and plumbing. And your time. Less than $200.

if you source all of the parts on your own you can probably do it for cheap, but that means you have to source them all, on your own. Many of the parts in their kits are not proprietary at all so im sure it wouldnt be hard to find them. Biggest price is going to be the pump, if you look around there is one that is basically the standard everyone uses and sells which is either made by or branded through coolingmist. Other than that, just have to get solenoids rated for enough pressure and a boost pressure sensor that works as an on/off switch. Of course, then you have a non-progressive controlled meth system and you will be getting full flow at 15 PSI no matter if you are anywhere near a reasonable load or not. The commercial kits are all progressive with the exception of some really low end kits

Yeah, I know, I've done it before. Twice.

Seems like you are saying that sounds too difficult.

Hey guys, since burger tuning doesn't have the meth kit available now. I am looking for the next best alternative.

Currently I have JBD on the car, looking for something that I could tap from the washerfluid.

Any advice?

mainly doing this to prevent carbon buildup.

[Puerto Rican 335d]

kc look at other links about this or inquire with TDi I beleive he has meth BTW where the hell is Ron1n

[mob17]

Is there a meth kit available for the 335D then? I'd like to get one, and then remap the car.

[Puerto Rican 335d]

There is a Universal kit sold by SNOW Performance and it cost around $500 US Dollars check them out Mob17

Cheers Alex.

Is there anyone on here that has the Snow Performance meth kit on their 335D? Thoughts?

[Tiago]

+1. On diesel engines you dont have the same risk as petrol to run lean with a meth system failure. So instead of waiting for a specific system for your car that is just a universal kit fine tuned for your car at a higher price due to r&d and company name, you better buy a universal kit and tuned yourself on a dyno according with ecu datalogs.

Just checked out Snow Performance and they do 4 kits for turbo diesels: http://www.snowperformance.eu/boost-...sel/index.html

Which one should i get? I don't really understand the different specs. Also when i put a meth kit on, do i need to get the car remapped, or can i just add it on and get t remapped at a later date?

I believe the HIGH BOOST one is what you want. I'm still planning out a similar kit for mine (their stage 2 kit on the US site).

There is safer ways to run high boost without meth. My car its been pretty reliable with 442hp and 625tq over almost a year as a daily car. Even on dyno the temps was normal: ait, oil and water.

Even if you want to keep it with stock hardware, i beleive that meth will destroy in a short period the dpf, which is the main heat issue for high boost.

I believe that stock max boost is 1.8bar and the max that a stock car can handle is 2.3bar (~370hp). At this level be ready to replace exhaust manifolds at least once a year and to make dpf regen all the time.

Just read about a 335D here in the UK which has 391bhp and 600lb/ft! I think its has had its dpf removed, an Aquamist meth kit and a remap.

From reading so far, apparantly Aquamist/Vishnu kits are better than the Snow Performance type kits. Something about PWM-V vs PPS. Scroll to the bottom: http://procedetuning.com/BMW/n54/methanol/methanol.html

Seriously... All that torque and wasn't even able to cross the 400hp mark. With a proper tune he could make that power with meth off and less torque. Torque is the enemy of our cars. It is much more easy to obtain than HP.

Why do you want so bad a Meth system? Because it will look cool on your mod list?

1. It will make you need to fill the meth tank all the time or fill the trunk with a huge meth tank. Diesel systems needs a much higher flow than petrol engines to show some results.

2. It will make you need to buy a fire extinguisher. Very risky if you run with a high % of meth and have leaks close to hot areas, like exhaust or engine bay.

3. It will make you need to monitorize all the time the meth pump working. In case of failure it can hydrolock the engine.

4. Decarb advantages? There is campanies (http://www.terraclean.net/index.php) that does a better job for a fraction of the cost.

5. Temps control? Better having temps controled by uprated intercooler and free flow exhaust than relying that work in just a meth system.

For the price of the meth systems that you are looking you can buy a wagner intercooler and still save money for dpf deleted and a proper tune for about 410-420hp.

I will only consider a meth system if someone shows at least +50hp than my setup, which i find pretty hard with the ZF 6HP26/8 gearbox. For a minor hp increase, my car still have room to play with the stock fuel system and turbo boost levels.

Tiago: I don't so bad want a meth system. Just recently started to read up on it and wanted to get as much info as possible. But i can't deny that it would have sounded cool!

You make good points, which i appreciate. It's slightly halted my initial optimism using meth. Are you saying with a Wagner IC, dpf delete and a remap i'd get above 400 bhp?

Yes, even with a medium ecu programmer.

Sorry to destroy your idea about meth, but i have a system installed in a petrol car and i know pretty well the cons of it. It isn't only advantages like most talk about it, specially those that don't have any experience with it or are selling it.
