Hey water/meth guys...
How much are you running? As in, what percent and what size nozzles? I mainly just want to see if I can get a good boost on the dyno, so I was thinking 50/50 through two 625 ml nozzles, triggered at 30 psi.
I'm running a 150psi pump with two 14 GPH (882ml/min) nozzles with a 50/50 mix of water and methanol. My pressure switch turns the system on at 20#'s of boost. On the dyno I made 388HP and 923TQ on fuel only, and 432HP and 968TQ with the methanol on. Somewhere I saw a break down of how much injection psi you need per nozzle at different boost pressure. If I remember correctly I actually need the 250psi pump to properly atomize the W/M mixture with 40#'s of boost. I wouldn't go any smaller than what I'm running, but that's just my .02 .
My controller starts at 20 psi with full delivery at 30 psi. It rockets past 20 psi so fast when you're hammering on it that it might as well be on a switch.

Original untouched head gasket still holding after many dyno runs and lots of WOT tuning blasts. (wannadiesel crosses fingers on both hands while touching wood)
I think what keeps it in place is my 40 psi wastegate setting.
I'm running a Snow system with the pump at factory settings - 150psi. I'm using a .375 and a .625 nozzle and have seen 45 RWHP increase over #2 on the dyno using snows Analog Stage III controller. My mix is 49% WM to 51% water - Snows Boost Juice. I normally mix my own but decided to try the Boost Juice because it comes in 1 gal. sealed containers and I usually don't need that much W/M - it just goes bad. I can feel the difference between new mix and old mix.

My system is on just the regular on-off style pressure switch, I didn't have the money for the fancy progressive controller. I also mix my own, I can get methanol at work.
I had a couple little issue's, the first being that I had the pressure switch set at 10psi, the second was my injection pump being up against the head, and the final problem was showing off with a cold engine leaving my first dyno event. 40psi, 4K rpm, too much timing, and a 50/50 W/M mix on a cold, only been running a couple minutes engine, is not a good combination.
