Anyone have problems with Mr. Freeze kit?

Well...if I ever get my car back I'll be running windshield washer fluid initially, then I might go to a 49% meth/51% water mix from snow performance

So are you going to tune for the windsheild washer fluid? It just seems to me if it's possible to use windshield fluid you could use that reservior for a cleaner install also you could just top it off at any gas station when you fill up. Please let us (ok me) know how it works for you.

Yes I'm going to tune for windshield washer fluid since it's a lot easier to get ahold of than this other stuff that Snow Performance sells, aside from being a lot cheaper. That way I can throw in the 49/51 mix and it should still work without any trouble and pick up more power. I got a guy that tunes the Mallet corvettes who will be working on my car this time....as soon as i get my car back.

Ok so where did you mount it? I'm debating doing a vortech (9-12psi) a menathol injection, with a shot of n2o (you know just in case). Would the menathol injection be worth while at that low a boost pressure? Also has anyone used just windsheild washer fluid? I heard you can.

I am using windshield washer fluid.. As long as it's guaranteed to 20 below zeero, it has methanol in it. I mounted the reservoir on the bottom mount bolt to the supercharger. You actually can't see any of the kit from above the car, yet, you can easily access it to fill. Kind of sneaky, but oh well..

I've had MR Freeze for 6 to 8 months. The only thing I did to alter it was to put a hose clamp on every single line. The only problem I have had with my car is when a vacuum line, etc. comes off and the car goes lean under boost. I have 15 pounds at 5300RPM. I pegged the mass air at 480rwhp. The tuner said if not for that he could have gotten much more. It's okay power for now on Cali gas 91 octane but one day I will get a MAF extender and cams and push it way over 500RWHP. By the way these type of kits are old school and were in use in the 60"s according to the shop I had it done at.

Everybody with mr freeze be carefull to put the fill plug back in properly. I just had a mishap in which I lost the fill plug because I accidentally locked it down wrong way. It shot out when the car was boosted, but luckily I check everything after every hard run. I never heard any detonation but it may have been disasterous if I hadn't seen that it was missing right away. I ordered two extra fill plugs and will make sure I never lock it down wrong again ! I'm going to attach the fill plug to a chain so it can't disappear if it happens to come out again (and so I can't lose it by dropping it). Hopefully it will never come out again. After talking with a guy from Anderson when ordering the new fill plug, he told me that the plug is adjustable. If you turn the lock down clockwise it is supposed to make it tighter.

Yup, I remember my dad telling me how they used to do it back in the day with a hypodermic needle in a water jug and a vacuum line. Hell, he’s been running that type of set up on his 5.0L Ranger for about the last 3-4 years now. Companies like Snow and Mr. Freeze have more or less just refined the deliver system since then.

it's a good system and it works, a nice alternative to nitrous + boost

Anyone have any long term experience with this kit? Does it cause problems with the impeller?

Spraying pre blower will in no way damage the impeller. That rumor was started on the net by retards that know absolutly nothing about meth/water injection. Then spread across the net by lazy people that read what these retards write on forums instead of doing the proper research them self.

I have been spraying 100% meth into my blower for about a year now with absolutly no ill efects. I am even running a blow thru setup. I also spray 2 more nozzles pre throttle body. I would never strap a mr freeze or snow kit to my car. When sprayed pre blower the nozzle has to be small enough to make the droplets evaporate before leaving the blower. Droplets that small do no damage.

Look over on the corral in the supercharger section there is a thread about this and pics of impellers.

I don't have any proof either way with meth injection damaging the impellers, but I have an idea of where that concept came from. In steam power plants, the blades are spinning extremely fast and any wate droplets or any solid material other than steam can damage the turbine blades. At those speeds water will act like sand and will pit the blades. If injecting meth or water before the blower without atomizing small enough, might damage the blades, but I don't have any evidence of that just the theory of why it might happen, if it happens.
