Like I keep saying on a properly designed setup water meth is a waste of time
Do like me, have a properly designed setup and then add water/meth just for that added benefit. I have had AIT as low as 5degrees [smilie=200sx_rockon.gif]

Air temps as low as 5 deg are possible probably because your muti is spraying directly onto the IAT sensor thus giving you a very false reading.

I wont rely on something that could
A: Run empty in the middle of a boost session.
B: Blow a fuse
C: Blow a pump
D: Block a nozzle.

The big problem with all of the above is that you have to advance the ignition timing by around 5 to 10 degrees to actually get the additional power.
Imagine the consequences when the system fails for whatever reason.

Like I said a band aid and after fitting and tuning a system I have seen absolutely nothing to change my mind.

The water meth lovers can carry on with the stuff its not something I need or want in my arsenal.

I think that's the beauty of the club. The differences.
Warren you must come to an SX event when we have one. The different SX's out there is amazing.
Some run water/meth with NO intercooler. Some run massive intercoolers, some run standard ones.
Everybody wants something different out of the car & design it around their personalities.
Looks wise & performance wise.

Water spray over the intercooler?
Removal of left headlight for cold intake?
Electric motor for low down torque?
Supercharger for low down torque?
A mayflower engine? (variable compression ratio for low down torque)?

Hmmm.... sound like I want low down torque, doesn't it, doctor? :lol:

Yeah that is cool, if everybody ran the same setup it'd be kinda boring! As i say 4 now, I just wanna restore mine to its former glory! So getting a stock cooler from Vlade is a win (Thanks again :wink: ) Let me guess vlade, u putting the sr20det in? :D

Ha ha i know thats not 2 original, but thats what I wanna do eventually!!!

Would love 2 come WooHaa, whens the next meet?

His car is also at the calibrator for some fixing, I think he should be running soon, but he should be able to tell you that

Duane should be done with my car soon, but then comes the running in period and the proper tune in after that, so it'll be a little while before I can drive it properly
