Solenoid Upgrade (optional)
The optional Solenoid Upgrade (#40060) is required if the nozzle is to be
installed after the intake throttle plate (as shown), or the fluid reservoir is
mounted higher then the nozzle. It is highl recommended for trunk-
mount reservoirs.
Finger thread the two 1/8” NPT quick connect fittings into ports labeled (2
or IN) and (1 or OUT) on the solenoid. Tighten an additional half turn
past finger tight.
Note: Solenoid must be installed Pre-pump to ensure
correct operation.
Cut high pressure line at location solenoid is to be installed. Insert ends
of cut line into quick connect fittings of solenoid. The port labeled (2 or
IN) is the inlet and the port labeled (1 or OUT) is the outlet. Gentl pull
on line to check secure connection. If line pulls out, re-insert farther into
fitting to engage locking clips. If high pressure line removal is required,
firml press in metal fitting ring to disengage locking clips while pulling
hose from fitting.
Connect one of the BLACK wires from solenoid to the RED positive
pump wire or the WHITE wire from the controller. Note that connecting
the wire to an other power source other then the pump/controller wire
will result in improper operation of solenoid. Connect the second BLACK
wire to a secure chassis ground location.

Install 3/8” NPT to ¼” tube reservoir fitting using E6000® sealant in the
bottom of the reservoir.
The nozzle, not the reservoir, should be the highest point in the s stem.
Optional: The factor windshield washer reservoir can be used as the
reservoir for our s stem, using optional part number 40080.
• Drill 9/16” hole in desired bulkhead location.
• Remove one nut from bulkhead and turn the remaining nut until it is at
the ver end.
• Feed red tubing through the drilled hole and up and out of the top of
the reservoir.
• Attach tubing to the bulkhead on the side opposite the nut.
• Pull the tubing through the bulkhead hole until the bulkhead seats
against the inside of the reservoir.
• Appl E6000® sealant (included) around bulkhead.
• Slide the nut ou had previousl removed up onto the tube and thread
onto bulkhead.
• While pulling firml on the red tubing, tighten the outer nut using a
17mm socket (onl needs to be hand tight). A ratchet is not needed.
• Once sealant has set, fill reservoir with water and check for leaks.
Caution******
To avoid gravit feeding of fluid with rear mount reservoirs, it is essential
to use a check valve in-line between the reservoir and pump. Do not
operate our rear mount equipped vehicle without a check valve
installed.
Caution*******
Whenever the nozzle is mounted post-throttle plate, to avoid siphoning
fluid at idle, it is essential to use a solenoid upgrade inline between the
reservoir and pump.

Step 2 Pump Install
Mount the pump so the inlet is positioned at the lowest point of the
reservoir or lower. Pump can be mounted horizontall or verticall using
the supplied screws and washers. Ensure that no sharp bends in the
high pressure tube occur near the pump. Sharp bends can cause stress
on the inlet and outlet ports of the pump, causing leaks. Trim tube with a
utilit knife or razor blade, making sure to eliminate an burrs or kinks on
the end. Insert firml into the pump about ½ inch through the light gre
locking collar. Note the arrows indicating flow direction on the top of the
pump. To remove the hose, gentl and evenl push the light gre locking
collar into the head unit of the pump, then pull on the hose gentl .
Measure the distance from the reservoir outlet to the pump inlet. Cut the
¼” red tubing using utilit knife. Make cuts are as square as possible.
Ensure there are no kinks in the tubing and insert tubing into quick
disconnects at pump and reservoir until full seated. Keep the pump
within 2 feet of the reservoir.

Fluid Level Switch (optional)
Instructions
• Locate desired level switch mounting position. Suggested
placement is 1/5 of max reservoir height.
• Carefull drill side of reservoir using 13/16” bit. A step bit is
recommended for best drilling results. Hole
must be free of nicks or shavings for proper
sealing.
• Remove rubber seal from level switch.
Insert seal into reservoir until full seated.
Goop can be used around the edges of the
hole.
• Lubricate exterior of level switch with water
and insert into seal until full seated. Position level switch so GT
s mbol is at six o’clock position.
• Wait 30 minutes for Goop to cure, then test for leaks. With fluid
level above level switch, float should be angled up. With fluid
level 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 from
LED.
• Connect red wire from LED to +12 volt ke on power source.

minimize combustion quench, you should start with an air to fuel
ratio of 12.0-12.5:1.
Injecting water/methanol lower than 3300-3500 RPM could result in
combustion quench. All vehicles are different. If the engine bogs or
loses power, then it is coming on too early, the quantity is too
much, or there is not enough methanol in the mixture (50/50
water/methanol recommended).
Caution******
Prolonged quench may cause lower engine damage over a period of
time.
Maintenance – Remove nozzle(s) and clean screen filters
once per year using carb cleaner.
The Boost Cooler® has been designed to operate with high
concentrations of methanol. Oil or other additives are not required
for system lubrication, and can cause damage to the system.
Contaminants in the fluid such as dirt can damage the system.
Ensure that dirt and debris do not fall into the tan .
Do not use Teflon tape or paste to seal connections. These sealers
are not as effective as the Goop sealant provided and can brea
down over time, clogging components.
For best performance, cooling and system life it is recommend that
Snow Performance Boost Juice™, part #40008, be the exclusive
fluid used in the system.
© 2010, Snow Performance, Inc
Caution******
Pump must be shielded from road debris and tire wash.
Failure to do so will result in pump failure
Step 3 Nozzle Selection
Nozzle sizing is a function of horsepower, which approximates the
engine airflow, and boost, which approximates intake charge heat.
Recommended starting points:
250 - 350 RWHP: 175 ml/min nozzle.
350 - 475 RWHP: 375 ml/min nozzle
475 - 600 RWHP 625 ml/min nozzle
Seal the nozzle into the nozzle holder using the
included E6000® sealant. Using a sealant that is
not permanent will allow for nozzle changes during tuning. Simply
remove the nozzle, clean the threads, and reinstall using sealant.
Assemble desired nozzle into nozzle holder using E6000® sealant. The
end of the nozzle with the fine mesh screen is to be inserted into
the nozzle holder. Torque 1/2 turn past finger tight. Do not use Teflon
sealants on Snow Performance fittings.

Correct Incorrect
NOTE: If nozzle is mounted lower then the reservoir, a Solenoid Upgrade
(#40060) must be used to prevent draining.

If pump goes on and fluid level doesn't go down, there is an obstruction
in the tube or nozzle.
Activation of the pump in 1-5 second intervals will purge air from the
s stem after install. This can be accomplished in initial use.
Step 2 Test LED vs. Pump On
Appl a 12v source to pole #87 of rela (single red wire, not red/green
wire). Pump should activate and LED should go on. Check LED ground
and wiring if no activation. If wiring and ground check out oka , check
LED with 12v source.
Initial Tuning
#20001 Set Boost Switch Activation Point
At the factor setting, the boost switch will start injection at about 10 psig
boost. Adjusting the set screw clockwise will increase the boost
pressure needed to activate injection. Turning the adjustment screw
counter-clockwise will decrease it. 1 full turn counter-clockwise will
decrease the injection point b 1-2 psig. T pical injection onset points
are at ½ of maximum boost.
Introducing water/methanol before ½ of maximum
boost pressure could result in quenched
combustion and engine misfire.
Tuning Quic Reference
The power potential of the system is realized through increased
boost and/or timing. The large gains on octane and cooling
provided by the system ma e this possible, even on standard pump
fuel.
The Boost Cooler® adds an alternate fuel source as well as
significantly cools combustion. With the Boost Cooler®, one does
not need to cool combustion with overly rich air/fuel ratios. To

Testing the System
Note: for best results, prime pump before use to
clear air from the pump and insure that the
system is primed:
• Fill reservoir with water approx ¼ full.
• Remove tubing from nozzle (or solenoid if solenoid used in-line
between pump and nozzle) and run tube into separate container.
• Appl 12 VDC to red pump wire for approximatel 5 seconds or
until fluid flow is consistent.
• Pump is now primed. Reconnect tubing from pump outlet to
nozzle (or solenoid).
If using a chec valve in between the pump and the reservoir:
Remove the check valve and place a solid piece of tube between the
pump and the reservoir and prime the s stem. Then replace the check
valve in between the pump and reservoir.
Step 1 Test Pump and Mechanical S stem
Turn ke to ON position. B pass the pressure switch b touching a wire
between the two poles on the switch. Pump should activate, green LED
should go on, and fluid level in tank should go down. It is recommended
to also check the nozzle spra pattern while following this procedure.
Also check for leaks.
© 2010, Snow Performance, Inc
Step 4 Nozzle Mounting
The nozzle assembl should be installed 90° to the direction of airflow.
On round intake tubes, this is 360° around the tube meaning the nozzle
can be mounted in an direction. This will ensure maximum cooling as
the nozzle spra s in a cone pattern. Be sure that the nozzle tip is flush
with the inside wall of the tube, or even projecting into it slightl to ensure
no interference in the spra pattern. Make sure the nozzle is the highest
point in the s stem as well.
Drill and tap (11/32" pre-drill, 1/8”-27 NPT tap) air inlet tube as close as
possible to throttle bod /throttle plate.
The nozzle is mounted using its external 1/8 NPT threads. Tighten the
nozzle and nozzle holder assembl one half turn past finger tight using
E6000® to seal the threads.
Carb Plates are available for 4150 and 4500 st le carburetors.
You can mount the nozzle in a plastic or rubber air inlet tube using a
Nozzle Mounting Adapter (#40110). Weld-in aluminum (#40120) and
steel (#40130) bungs are also available.
The recommended nozzle mounting point is before
the throttle body/ throttle plate. If you mount the
nozzle after the throttle body/throttle plate (including use of a carb
spacer plate) or below the reservoir, a Solenoid Upgrade (#40060)
must be used to prevent siphoning at idle or gravity feed.

Step 5 Nozzle Connection
Measure the distance from the pump outlet to the nozzle holder. Cut the
¼” tubing using utilit knife. Make cuts are as square as possible.
Ensure there are no kinks in the tubing and insert tubing into quick
disconnects until full seated. Gentl pull on tubing to ensure a good
connection.
Optional Aluminum Bung Shown
Use tie wraps to help route tubing and to ensure it doesn't contact
moving or hot parts in the engine compartment. Have tubing connect to
quick connect fittings at shallow angles. Having an immediate sharp
bend ma unseat the tubing from the internal o-ring and create a leak.
Continual insertion and removal from quick connect fittings will mar the
end of the tubing. Over time the internal gripping teeth ma lose their
hold of the tubing which ma create a leak. If this occurs simpl remove
the tubing and make a fresh cut using a razor blade.

- Please refer to electrical diagram.
Step 1 Pressure Switch
Mount the pressure switch using a tie wrap. Hard mounting using screws
is not recommended as diaphragm distortion could cause the switch to
malfunction.
Attach 1/8” silicone tubing (supplied) to hose barb on switch. Other end
of the hose attaches to manifold boost source. Wire switch according to
wiring diagram.
Step 2 LED
Select location of LED (green-on when pump activated) in driver’s
compartment of vehicle. Run RED and BLACK wires to LED and make
required connections as indicated in wiring diagram. Note that the RED
wire immediatel next to the GREEN wire is used for the LED, not the
RED wire on the opposite side of the rela harness from the GREEN
wire. The WHITE wire of the LED connects to ground, the RED wire of
the LED connects to the proper RED wire.
Step 3 Rela
Mount the rela on fire wall close to the pressure switch. Wire rela
according to diagram using supplied connectors. Either of the combined
GREEN/RED wires can be used to power the pump, injection status
LED, or Solenoid Upgrade. The single RED wire is the switched
activation input. It is t picall connected to the adjustable pressure
switch, but can also be connected to a nitrous solenoid or other 12V
input to control injection.
CAUTION: Do not route wires near hot or moving parts. Use
corrugated wire loom and tie wraps (supplied) to protect and route
wires.
