So I've gone for the AEM v2 Water Meth Injection kit, which should be with me early next week. I'm hoping to install the tank behind the seat but I think judging by the pics that Thomas Nares posted, there may not be enough room. I'll be discussing the options of mapping, i.e. advancing the timing when the intakes temps are x (eg: x = 40c) which means the meth must be injecting. Otherwise a more moderate timing will be applied i.e. no meth is being injected. This should act as a failsafe but needs to be discussed in more detail. Any comments, feel free to add please.

What bits are you waiting for,you got the catch tank plus pipes yet.
I must admit I think the yellow cover looks
I have one just the same

Just waiting for the OIl catch tank to arrive and install the AEM water meth kit. I also have a solution for the Oil pressure and Oil temps to be displayed on the OEM dash. Update will follow. I hope to have the engine turning over by COP thursday.

Are you using a race technology data logger to run the oil pressure and temp through so displays on Dash 2? Don't think there are enough spare ways on Dash to do straight to that.

You can run oil temp and pressure on the Dash 2. There is a spare input and you use the existing 0 / 1 pressure input. I had this exact set up on my last Atom.
You do have to configure different page views as fuel, water, oil temp and oil pressure cannot be displayed all together. I had oil pressure fixed in original location and then had options to display this with either fuel/water temp, fuel/oil temp or water temp/ oil temp. Ran the latter most of the time.
Oil temp boss welded to the sump and switched out the original pressure sender. Although I ran all the wiring, Ariel did the final connections and reprogrammed the dash.
Hope this helps.

I knew the Dash 2 had 4 analogue inputs but I thought they were all used (think spare was used on mine for intake air temp). You can run more but only via a DL1 data logger linked to Dash.
The reprogramming the dash is fairly easy once you get to grips with the software. 5 different screens each showing 3 options (picked in software).
I needed more so had to go the data logger route but managed to set up oil pressure, oil temp, water pressure, fuel pressure, boost pressure, intake air temp and AFR (wideband sensor). Although you don't have time to scroll through while driving but the dash has alarms set up with min and max values so Dash flashes warning if any are triggered.
More useful for analysis after to make sure all ok.

Very interesting progress, thanks for sharing. Interesting you are going to run a meth kit. Where will you store the tank given there is not much space? Also interested in understanding the rationale of fitting such system to an Atom, could you not get the desired ~360bhp just by regular stage maps, turbo mods etc? This is for my learning purposes.
