None when done correctly. Unfortunately most aren't, and they get compressor tip erosion in a short space of time.
What’s the advantage of having the nozzles pre turbo vs before intake manifold?
 
I'm really on the fence about this this kit: its the same price for with tank and without.. and im wonder what is the washer fluid container capacity on the 80 anyone know???

That's a lot of money you could put towards a better turbo or intercooler.

I Already have a upgraded intercooler and turbo.

Empty your jar and measure what it takes to fill it back up?
 
So what's the meth needed for?

Dramatic cooling effect and a slight fuel enrichment. Also freeze prevention for the reservoir.

Overall “performance”
Lower EGTs on long hill climbs when towing
And it cleans out the intake.

Yeah I think it’s just under a gallon. I’m just trying to figure out how much the system will consume or if I actually need the extra tank.
 
It's funny seeing clueless comments about water meth systems from people who have never used or tested it. If they had, they wouldn't be questioning why you want to use it. It's seriously impressive and a very underrated system.

Methanol acts as a fuel and water add power through the “steam" effect. The result is higher combustion efficiency which brings savings in fuel, increases in torque, and decreases in exhaust gas temperatures.
 
I just got back from a 780 mile trip, pushing my supercharged 1FZ. I used somewhat more than half the washer tank. Mine is set up with a Flojet 90 psi demand pump, feeding a 14GPH 45 degree stainless steel oil-fired boiler nozzle.

IF EGT aren't safe then you may need more boost or a retune. The under-reported downside of meth injection is an increase in combustion pressure in excess of the power produced. It is very hard on cylinder heads, pistons and everything connecting the two. Diesel and boost produce more power with less engine stress.

Outside racing I don't see an application for it on diesel engines

Thanks this is helpful.

Are you mixing your own blend? or just using winter washer fluid?

I buy methanol in 5 gallon cans and I cut it 50/50 with distilled water.
I sent my blower in for an overhaul when it hit 113,000 miles. The shop owner called me up when he tore it down and told me it was the cleanest one he had ever seen.

Yeah but this is what the forums are for.
Under rated you say why’s that?

I think methyl-hydrate the same as methanol is it not??
It’s not too expensive and can be found easily at any hardware store.

I think distilled water is the key and maybe more accurate to mix by weight!
 
Mine is a gas engine so that's obviously a different kettle of fish. My setup uses an RPM trigger and a pressure sensor.
The pump kicks in only when the manifold pressure is greater than ~4 psi and the engine rpm is above 3,200.
