I have been trying to do quite a bit of research in regard to purchasing an injection kit for my pickup. Right now I am looking for mpg but of course wouldn't mind the bump in performance, I just can't justify $1000 for the MPG Max.
Has anybody set up a Stage 2 to help out with MPG or is it strictly for performance?
Also has anybody used both the stage 2 and the MPG Max and can you tell me what the actual differences are?
I'm new to using methanol injection on the diesels, but I have had a stage 3 kit on my FI Camaro which I assume is similar to the MPG-Max.
Well, no responses, but after some research and experience dealing with systems on some of my FI gas cars I decided to go with the stage 2 since I already have EGT and Boost gauges.
I plan on seeing how well I can fine tune the system for MPG and if I don't seem to find a decent increase in MPG and towing ability I may swap it out down the road.
If I find a good combo of nozzles, spray rates and actuation times, I will post up, because I truly believe the Stage 2 can be adjusted to perform closely with the mapped kits.
Ive fitted a 2 stage snow kit to my 6.5 top mount turbo. doesnt seem to come in soon enough and when it does start to happen the wastegate kills the fun. I fitted a needle valve into the line to turn the wastegate down(almost off) and am now thinking of putting a manual controller bypass so I can just turn it on myself. Im towing around 3400kilo and I think it needs to be active more even though the truck hasnt really gotten hot yet.
Yeah it works well. I just don't want to muck about with the wastegate yet. Fitted a cold air intake/snorkel today. Its made a notable improvement to the intake temps dropping them by 25-30 degrees C just driving around town. Before they just seem to increase more and more the further I drove. I would like to control the water /meth via the EGT
