Introduction:

The Stage 3 System is designed to deliver precise amounts of water-methanol in a wide range of operating conditions. The control module for


4/14


this system has integrated sensors and is a fully standalone unit that willwork on virtually any multiport-EFI or forced-induction engine. Thissystem can deliver cooler combustion temperatures, lower intake airtemperatures, and 20-25 point octane gains over regular pump gas.Please refer to the System Diagram below during install.

Fluid Level Switch

Instructions

Locate desired level switch mounting position. Suggestedplacement is 1/5 of max reservoir height.

Carefully drill side of reservoir using 13/16 bit. A step bit is

recommended for best drilling results. Holemust be free of nicks or shavings for propersealing.

Remove rubber seal from level switch.Insert seal into reservoir until fully seated.Goop can be used around the edges of thehole.

Lubricate exterior of level switch with water

and insert into seal until fully seated. Position level switch so GTsymbol is at six oclock position.

Wait 30 minutes for Goop to cure, then test for leaks. With fluidlevel above level switch, float should be angled up. With fluidlevel below level switch, float should be in horizontal position.

Connect one black wire from level switch to ground.

Connect other black wire from level switch to white wire fromLED.

Connect red wire from LED to +12 volt key on power source.

The nozzle is mounted using its external 1/8 NPT threads. Tighten thenozzle and nozzle holder assembly one half turn past finger tight usingE6000 sealant to seal the threads.

You can mount the nozzle in a plastic or rubber air inlet tube using aNozzle Mounting Adapter (#40110). Steel and aluminum bungs are alsoavailable. (PN#s 40130 and 40120 respectively)

The recommended nozzle mounting point is beforethe throttle body/plate and above the level of the

reservoir. If you mount the nozzle after the throttle body/plate orbelow the reservoir, a Solenoid Upgrade (#40060) must be used toprevent siphoning at idle or gravity feed.

Step 5 Nozzle Connection

Measure the distance from the solenoid outlet to the nozzle holder(s).Cut the tubing using a sharp utility knife or razor blade. Make cuts assquare as possible.

Ensure there are no kinks in the tubing and insert tubing into quickdisconnects until fully seated. Gently pull on tubing to ensure a goodconnection. Also ensure that engine movement will not stress the tubingor fittings.

Optional Weld-In Bung Shown

Use tie wraps to help route tubing and to ensure it doesn't contactmoving or hot parts in the engine compartment. Have tubing connect toquick connect fittings at shallow angles. Having an immediate sharpbend may unseat the tubing from the internal o-ring and create a leak.

Continual insertion and removal from quick connect fittings will mar theend of the tubing. Over time the internal gripping teeth may lose theirhold of the tubing which may create a leak. If this occurs simply removethe tubing and make a fresh cut using a razor blade.


Caution******Prolonged quench may cause lower engine damage over a period of

time.

Maintenance Remove nozzle(s) and clean screen filters atleast once per year using carb cleaner.

The Boost Cooler has been designed to operate with highconcentrations of methanol. Oil or other additives are not required

for system lubrication.

For best performance, cooling and system life it is recommend thatSnow Performance Boost Juice, part #40008, be the exclusivefluid used in the system.

The injection FULL point should be at MAX boost

pressure.

EXAMPLE:

Cruising P/W: 18% +5% _23%_WOT P/W: _52%_ -5% _47%_

Cruising-1/4 throttle Boost (PSI) 2PSI . +3 to 5PSI 5to 7PSI .MAX Boost (PSI) 18PSI . -3PSI 15PSI .

Tuning Notes:

Cruising P/W: _____ + 5% _____

WOT P/W:_____ -5% _____

Cruising-1/4 throttle Boost (PSI):_____ +3 to 5 PSI

_____Max Boost (PSI):_____ -3 to 5PSI _____

For small Turbos and fast reacting Super Chargers whichare also injecting based on Fuel Injector Pulse width you

will need to have injection based more on P/W than PSIsettings for the controller to inject properly.

Under moderately heavy throttle, boost will trigger a small amount ofinjection for cooling and efficiency. As more boost builds under higherthrottle positions, the system will add more injection. In the event that


Controller Set up Screens:Use button 2 to change settings on each set up screen.

Screen 5This is the first setup screen. It allows you to select BOOST, EFI, orBOTH, using button number two. If BOOST is selected, then boost alonewill determine the injection volume from the nozzle. If EFI is selected,then fuel injector pulse-width (PW) alone will determine injection volume.If BOTH is selected then both inputs will be used simultaneously tocontrol injection.

Screen 6AEFI START INCREASEThis screen sets the injector PW point when injection will start throughthe nozzle. Typical start points are in the 35% range.

Screen 6B

EFI START DECREASEThis screen sets the injector PW when injection will start through thenozzle.

Screen 6CEFI FULL INCREASEThis screen sets the fuel injector PW full point when maximum injectionthrough the nozzle will be reached. Typical EFI full points are 60-80%.

Screen 6DEFI FULL DECREASEThis screen sets the fuel injector PW full point when maximum injectionthrough the nozzle will be reached.
