Any pics on BMS Meth installs?

[azn_fcuk]

Hey guys,
I've been searching online for photos or better directions for meth install other than whats off BMS's site for our F80's and cant seem to find anything.
Does anyone have any photos from their installs to help ensure myself and others in my predicament are done correctly.
I've just ordered a meth kit from Mike at Xtreme and just getting familiar with the process before my kits arrives.

Thanks

Used the windshield washer tank. Only used "boost juice" from snow performance. Not pure methanol.
Also, made a sheetmetal rock guard that protected the reservoir and pump.
Works flawlessly, 2 years later and daily driven with no issues.

Thats an awesome looking setup! biggest worry I had was reliability running meth as a DD, I drive hard most days its reassuring to hear this shouldn't be a problem

I did not use pure methanol so you know.
I ran the 50/50 mix from snow performance

I run the BMS kit with stealth tank. Using VRSF charge pipes and had to fit a 90* adapter on the front one to get the nozzle in.

Here's an old pic. I've since fixed the T-fitting to more of a sideways T fitting so ignore the odd looking loop at the top. I just wanted to get everything working then.



Stealth tank



At the time of the install I was running basically windshield washer fluid so I could see the blue coloring through the hose when I primed the system. Didnt have any quick access to boost juice. So it was basically like 20% meth and 80% water. Now I'm running 100% meth and whatever is left over from the windshield washer fluid (so maybe like 90% actual meth) for a very light tint of blue. It's almost out though.

I noticed very good cooling properties with the light meth and water though. After about 10 VERY hard 130+mph pulls almost back to back, the temp gauge was pretty low and the inter cooler was literally ice cold. I could absolutely tell the difference in meth vs no meth.



Now that I'm running 90%ish meth, I dont notice the cooling properties as above but using it more for an octane bump. Havent had time to get her on the dyno to properly dial her in via the JB4 and what not though. But so far I'm very pleased with the results.

Got a bucket of VP M1 for like $33 dollars or something from a local gas station. Maybe look into that if you want to run 100%

Why would you pay so much for boost juice? I pay $41 for 5 gallons of VP M1 and mix it 50/50 with distilled water. It comes out to 7 cups of methanol and 5 cups of water per gallon, and you get about 8 or 9 gallons of mix.

Pure Meth is hard to come by here in Calgary Canada....been trying to track it down.

Gotcha, a quick tip, denatured alcohol from the hardware store works just as well. It's a mixture of methanol and some other type of alcohol that you don't want to drink. Not sure about Canada, but in the U.S. you can have it delivered to your local Walmart and avoid shipping charges.

Also, 3 bottles of Heet, the yellow bottles with blue lettering, are 98.xx% methanol. If you pour 3 bottles of it in a gallon container, then fill the rest with -20F(or lower) washer fluid it comes out to about a perfect 50/50 mix. It's what I do when I'm low and can't get a drum soon enough.

This option is still way cheaper than boost juice, and works just the same.

I just installed bms meth kit on my M3, the orange and blue cable was 3 and 16 pin on jb4 but I still do not get the meth flow info. anyone have some problem?
and my methanol setting is ok with the M3?
sorry for my english
