Meth Kit DIY detailed install description of CM Pro tank w. VC2 and AR meth elbow w. CM10 nozzle

[xbox_fan]

I did this DIY since I thought it would be nice with a detailed one with lots of pictures, and because it was quite fun doing the one for my injector swap

I wanted to make sure the car can be return to stock so I didn't want to cut or alter anything of the cars interior, I am happy with the end result, it is a clean install and it works great!

I am happy to choose BMS and CM as suppliers, they both answered my questions over email in minutes, amazing customer support!!!

So here goes...PART 1 (since there is a 30pics per post limit)

I got a piece of plywood and some fabric for car audio speaker builds, the fabric matches the interior of my trunk (there is several colors to choose from) and is somewhat stretchy so it is easy to get it nice and snug around the shape you need to cover.


I started by removing the plastic tray on the left side in the trunk and roughly cut two pieces of wood and attached them to form a mounting point for my new "panel". The wood pieces come up to the same level as the interior of the trunk.


I could have used normal wood screws to attach the "panel" to my mount but I felt I am probably going to screw up the cables etc so to make it possible to take the stuff apart multiple times I used those weird things that allows me to later use normal screws (m5). I did leave them standing like this until I was done with the panel so I could press the plywood against it and get marks where to drill.


Mount ready for the new panel


Used a piece of cardboard to make a template for the new panel


After cutting the plywood I used a staple gun to attach the fabric over the plywood. If I would redo this I would wait with the fabric until I done all drilling and fitting of the plywood piece, it is not a good idea to drill through the fabric like I did, even if it turned out ok. I would also use glue under the fabric to attach it properly to the plywood, it would probably make drilling through the fabric easier as well…


My "panel" done, I used similar metal fittings to allow for multiple removals of the tank from the panel as well, not showed here…


Before doing any more cabling or anything I needed to cut the corners of the cooling mist pro tank mount to make it fit against the trunk wall, if I hadn't done this I would not been able to open the hatch in the trunk, it is a tight fit!



I started pulling all cables from the tank towards the front of the car under the trunk "carpet". All hoses and cables except for the orange wire to the JB4 runs on the left/driver side of the car, the orange wire to the JB4 goes on the right side towards the glove box, I did put the JB4 cable tighter with my USB cable when I installed the JB4, I have no pictures of this, but it was easy, I didn't remove anything on the right side. I just pushed the little orange cable under the passenger side plastic "strips" with my fingers.


I removed the panel around the trunk cargo holders to make the "carpet" come loose enough for me to pull all hoses and cables





I pulled out the lower part of the right side of the seat and routed everything behind it and over a small metal seat mount behind it.






I removed the plastic strip using mild violence, I had to remove some of the plastic clips that stayed stuck to put it all together again. I pushed the nylon and rubber hose together with the 4-in-1 cable I got (instead of having 3 separate cables for the flow sensor, but I think it is probably easier to hide several loose cables than one bigger, though it made it neater in the engine bay in the end…)




I removed the opener for the engine bay as well as the ODBII cover and then the entire plastic piece holding all of this, then I removed the 3 screws holding the panel above the pedals.
