My intake
your results
are excellent
Def is almost nill
I need to put a kit together and do some math
i topped off 2 gallons of def to 100%
and have run a shade over 500 miles
Combined 35, 60, 70, 75.
With most in the 65 mph range
I am at 94% Def now. To me 6% is to high
Thst will never make 7k miles per Def tank
This is empty truck.
what i find cobtrary is nox is related to combustion temp
So the answer is pipe in hot exhaust gas.. vice running lower iat.
We used methanol to lower combustion chamber temps so we could run higher charge pressures and fuel to maximize hp in air cooled engines..without burning through pistons
like nos. But without the bottle 😂

Thanks, I'll pull cold pipe when we get home to check difference from when cleaned and installed. Reply probably mid May. Truck is a 15 350.

I now run an Improved Racing CCR catch can but with the Mishimoto oil catch can adapters that comes with their kit. I have a thread on the CCR can.

I hear you on not VTA (vent to atmosphere).

This methanol conversation gets my methanol wants fired up again.... that's why I want a Pusher Intakes cold CAC pipe... ports are in front of the IAC sensor, not like SPEs cold pipe as Fritz documented issues for the forum with methanol hitting the sensor causing problems. Like the idea of cleaning out the intake. The Fass EGR filter is on my list...

Not sure which injector
Fritz noted a few years back the 6.7 ho
Has a port built in
This pic is my engine
It's begging for it
its makes me question, if ford is looking aheaf emmisions wise ....for methanol injection

So, if I used Rain-X washer fluid, would that help any water in the intake slide off faster?

Just asking for a friend.

That could be the port for the new CCV boxes with the line I'm thinking... ??

that might not be good...it's on the pressure side ..
Fritz has had his for some time.iirc .maybe he can chime in on how it's holding up, hints and tips✍️👍

The instructions for the Snow Performance diesel kit Stage 2 kit show the cold CAC, in the plastic piece of the OEM pipe for methanol injector(s) placement for the 6.7s.

From this article here:

6. Nozzles are usually mounted in the intake post-turbo, and can even be disguised fairly well. Most hot street performance systems use two large nozzles, such as these two 625 ml/min units from Snow Performance.

yep snow has it in the hose or black part of the 6.7, that pic has to be aftermarket pressure side in front of throttle body
page 8

i was reading the other guys system and it was pretty pointed on the spray going in after the intercooler , page 19
i reason as to not let the atomized spray fall out and into drops in the cac?
that pic is hard for me to break out as it could be a metal cold side pipe in lieu of the hose thing we have now stock

https://www.aemelectronics.com/produ.../parts/30-3301
lots to digest
this system is an investment in time and some dollars
but it looks to be well thought out in the directions

Yep, the AEM shows the injector placement AFTER the CAC, which is exactly the same as the Snow Performance kit, which would in the cold CAC pipe in our trucks.

Lots to digest is right... I forget what Fritz did to resolve his issue... maybe a Pusher cold pipe to replace the SPE pipe that allowed the injectors to spray on the IAT sensor causing his problems??

return on investment.. seems higher going with methanol
Les def
Cleaner tailpipe emmisions as combustion temps are down , dpf is sort of steam refreshed.
egr stays cleaner lots longer
i would much rather burn smsll amounts of methanol than the def.
as far as hp gains.. not a factor

You'll definitely gain something but yeah, the cleaning effects of using it, plus lower EGTs would be a benefit for sure.

My truck uses about 5 gallons of DEF in approximately 7k miles IIRC. But the downside is it uses more EGR than your truck. Your truck is the opposite...

i am using between 6 and 8 % between fillups
i usually fill up at the 400 to 450 mile mark of trip and thats around 1/4 to 1/3 tank so far
imo thats not going to make 7999 of range with a full def tank
