what kind of meth ratio are you running with the 19 gph

 

50/50

 

wow really imo that is way to much water i would up it to at least 75% meth
the meth is what gets rid of the knock not the water

 

Sort of, kind of correct

water has greater knock control over meth

 

yeah i guess but it is still to much water imo i think it could be hurting you power
you should give a 75% meth mixture a try

 

It's give and take

This is a roots setup on 25 psi, not turboed

I've ran a 80/20 & 90/10 mix w/ negligent results

 

after you swap your header i think you will see a good boost drop and that much water wont be required for cooling and the more meth will really help get you timing up without knocking
did you run the 80/20 and 90/10 with a 19gph nozzle tho

 

Hey now im only 15 min away i got tools and knuckles that can be busted!

 

The 14gph was sufficient for cooling; it wasn't providing sufficient octane

That's where the 19gph stepped in

According to test I've done in the past, the psi difference between the stock exhaust manifold, shorty v2 header and jbp noodle header are exactly the same. The psi drop every time came from either running a 2.5" dp or 3" dp.


ohh snap I forgot!!!

you need to call more often man

In this case, come over this week. I'm calling mike rowe over for his messiest job yet! REMOVAL OF THE JBP VORTEX HEADER! haha

 

ok i am just putting my opinion out there
i think you should give it a try once you swap header
if it doesnt work no biggie it is not like it is something hard to change
i have always ran a 75% mix

 

It's not that I don't appreciate your opinion

It's just that I've seen this kind of post all to many times. Your blindly giving me your opinion without knowing anything bout whats going on during WOT in my car, whether it be 3rd or 4th.

And it's not like I just started using water injection yesterday. I've ran the shorty header, 3" dp and 3" catback in the past w/ higher meth mixtures. It's all great and dandy; though my best results always came from a 50/50 mixture.

 

Well this week is pretty much shot. Ill tell you why off here man.

 

just give me a call; I'm passing your house in a few to drop off the header @ my welder's pad.

 

lol yeah i hear ya man, i thought my 3gph nozzle used a lot haha...but yeah man, good luck and have fun with the noodles

 

Ahhh the good ole days when a 3gph was sufficient...

m62, 2.8 pulley paired w/ a 3gph nozzle = richens afr 5-6%

I really wish I could dial in the tune off meth first, then add the water injection in after and adjust via the p.e. table. I absolutely hate tuning water/meth via the maf!!!
If only 100 octane did not cost a damn fortune

 

dear rain... it's been 3 days straight now.... wtf!! this isn't england!

I can't tune if I'm spinning 3rd gear!!!!!

 

be happy you dont live in washington. rain from fall to spring lol

 

Maybe if I beg and plead my dad to allow me to use part of his auto body shop for a dyno...

That would be epic... can you imagine going.. "Ya.......... I'm going to tune on my dyno...."

or...

"I'm bored... im gonna go fudge around on my dyno"

 

Steve - most likely i'll be getting rid of my cobalt
if you think you still need the shorty header let me know and we can work something out.... soon to be a daddy and need a suv......

 

congrats dude! thats awesome!

 

Thank you.

 

wow! congrats Rudy (OH NO, NOT THE COBALT!!! )

 

I know, not the cobalt, i guess i have to dust out my BMW 325i 5 SPEED E36

 

VORTECH S/C KIT!!!

a little water/meth.... get where im goin w/ this?

 

HA, i would only if can find something cheap or even turbo!!!!
