What for? Why not fit just the nozzle somwhere in the intake pipe (LICP)?
Can someone explain this for me please, as I own the same kit (bought previously for Evo8 but never installed) and I am planning to fit it to the X.

well we took 2 days. First day we just made the wood brackets and mounted everything, took about 3 hours. Then next day when we had sunlight we ran the lines did the cutting and splicing so another 5 hours. so around 8 hours. we could have finished it in 2 hours if we had 2 do it again.
the stock exhaust just fit perfectly which is why we used it. I did not want to mount the nozzle in a rubber pipe by its self. and I didnt have a aftermarkett licp.
ya my placement is what the aem rep said I should put it so I just listened to the experts
im running 50/50 no point for me to run 100% the water has a nice added effects to the meth also. and the gains with 100% meth on the stock turbo wasnt going to create alot more hp. so no point imo
but like I said before this is a great mod for any turboed car. Its great in my city because e-85 isnt everywhere, so my 93 oct plus meth gives a sweet combo.
Have fun mething it up guys!

Jabjab, so if I understand correctly, you cut the rubber LICP pipe in half and inserted a piece of once exhaust pipe in there to faciliate mounting of the nozzle, right?
How does it feel when the meth kicks-in?
Are you using it without mapping the ECU?

Correct.
I have the meth kick in at 15psi and full out by 29 psi.
I ran it for about a week before I got it tuned for the meth and other mods, car was just a lil bit faster then stock before I got it tunned, now with a tune and running it to about 29psi, it pulls like a beast.... I already need a new clutch lol

well in august I bought 5 gallons of meth for 30 bucks. I still have about half of that left.
those 5 gallons make 10 full fills ups. I would say every other gas fill-up I'm topping it off.
So I figure it will be about 60 bucks a year, also meth has some gas saving properties so i might save some cash on gas because of this....... who am I kidding I love the boost so much, it is going to cost some money

Here in Poland, if you have meth installed, the most popular way is to have something like 2 maps and a switch - for DD you run without meth and when you need it you press the button.
It is all on a stock ECU but do not ask me how it is done. I don't know.

Nice! Bet that boost feels amazing!
I'm considering this setup but I want to use the washer fluid reservoir instead of the AEM tank. I know people have talked about it but I've never actually seen it.

I used a similar setup on my 96 Eclipse GSX that shared the washer reservoir and it worked out fine. The intake got stained a bit blue inside over time but was clean otherwise. This was back about 8 years ago and the kits now are much more well thought out, they really do allow a solid 3-4 more psi safely on pump gas along with better timing.
