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]

Well if it works then it works hey, it's definately worth considering!

As long as there's no long term damage or nothing, mines gotta las a long time...... 2damn broke 2 buy anything 4 a while!

You guys are taking the piss now.
Stop it, already.

Hi warren, welcome to the club. I see the guys really know how to introduce themselves.

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.

Hey WooHaa, geez I feel part of the family already!

Ja points taken Calibrator, didn't realize it could be so dangerous, and for now I'm just busy restoring my car to its original condition. So ja thanks 4 the advice, I'm a newbie and am liable 2 do something doff unless I'm told otherwise!

Hey theres plenty people that think water meth is the best thing on earth and it works for them.
I just dont agree.

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.

OOOOh I got a secret but I can't share, don't want any one to try it out before I do...

Since no one on the forum has done it.

let me guess - solar panels?

or a vibrating seat powered by solar panels?

or a beer-cooler-vibrating-seat-slash-fishing-rod-holder powered by solar panels?

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?

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

) Let me guess vlade, u putting the sr20det in?

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

Would love 2 come WooHaa, whens the next meet?

Oh MY LORD ERO! You're doing the exact mod I so desperately wanna do to my car! That is so awesome, how far into it are you, is it running yet?

Read thru vlade's project, was completely sweet, really sorry to see it didn't end so well, is that back on track?

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

WarrenS13 · Post by **WarrenS13** » Sun May 20, 2007 8:32 pm

Oh alright, well thats really good 2 hear hey. But when all that running in is finally done, its gonna be SO worth it! I'm so jealous

Had a look at the rest of the website, very impressive stuff. Next time I need anything done, I know where 2 send my baby
