updated sig & water/meth install pics
Finally got my sig updated and pictures posted in my gallery. Here are some pics of my snow install.
This is where I mounted the controller. Just drilled a hole below to run the harness.
Here are the injectors which come unassembled. I assembled them wrong the first time and it didn't spray, just gushed. Called snow and fixed it in a few minutes. This is also where I tapped to pick up a boost source for the controller.
I didn't like any of the options for the water/meth source, so I bought a 2gal fuel cell and mounted it in front of the rear passenger tire. Got rid of the fill cap it came with (way too big) and made a new plate to bolt to the top and bought a smaller neck and cap and welded it in. Then I drilled up through the bed so I can just reach over, pop the cap, and fill it up. Only quirk is I can't see the fluid level.
The pump has to be mounted lower than the fluid, so here is a pic of the pump mounted to the frame.
So far, I like the added power, but haven't towed with it yet to see the egt results. I will be traveling accross Colorado next week, so I hope to really analyze it then.

I like the way you mounted the fuel cell. BUT, why didn't you just put it in the bed, maybe on the raised portion of the tire area... Just a thought.
Please keep us informed of the power gained and the egt's reduction. I'm thinking of doing this soon also.
Thanks and good job...

I didn't put it in the bed cuz I didn't want it in the way. On top of the wheel well wouldn't be in the way I guess, but I also didn't want it TOO obvious either. It takes a little more investigation to find out what I got goin' on when you see the cap only in the bed. Oh yeah, and I like to make everything twice as hard as it needs to be .

One of the toughest parts of installing the Stage 3 system is where put controller. 3rd gens have more flat spots on the dash where it can be mounted, but the 2nd gen has none. This is where I put mine, which is one of the first built. Pump and 6 gallon tank are in my bed tool box. I use one 625 jet and set max pump pressure at 225 psi. Cools well.

This was my wifes reaction when I first gave her a ride with the Hot upgrade and the snow... .
