Painless Performance Striker ColdShot Water/Methanol Injection System

[DamnYankee]

Got a heck of a deal on this kit, so the other one I was piecing together is boxed up and going to be put up for sale.

The first thing I have to say is install was very simple. I hate trying to figure out wiring...I LIKE wiring if I understand it...I just hate figuring it out when i don't. What gets grounded, what needs a relay, what needs a solenoid, etc. So when I opened the box I was immediately in a bad mood. There was this massive coil of rainbow colored wires which I knew I was going to be 3 months installing. But nope, Painless tags every single wire and walks you through every wire and they give you a LOT of extra. So I'm in a better mood - it only took a few hours to install yesterday. All I have left to do is drill and tap for the injector - just need to get a 1/4" - 18NPT tap.

Pictures are below. I'll be making a few pulls on the dyno on May 30th to get before and after results.

Decided to mount the controller. The spot in front of the power ports & cigarette lighter was about the perfect width. The factory layout of those sockets is: power port - power port - cigarette lighter. I wanted the lighter in the center and the power ports on the ends so I could use them as supports for the controller. Even after figuring out how they all came out, it was tricky. This little black tab has to be pushed down and then the inner cylinder slides out.



But only to a point. Then you have to slide the cylinder so these outer tabs line up with the open areas near the bottom of the cylinder. Then the tabs can be squeezed in and the cylinder comes out.



So anyway, this is the configuration after moving them - power port - lighter - power port:



This dowel was a pretty tight fit in the hose. The dowel portion is just to give it some rigidity. The remainder of the clear hose is a pretty tight fit, but it slides into the power ports.



Had to disassemble the controller and screw the dowel from the inside of the back cover:



And finally, the installed controller. If you tried to move it you would think it was screwed in. But with a little persuasion it can be pulled out from the power ports so they, or the lighter, are accessible:
