The Mafia

Hi Guys. I'm interested in starting a group buy because I want to see if I can get these water Methanol Kits any cheaper from our Australian Distributer. I guess the more the merrier. Heres the good bits. (Taken from Snow Performance in the states) I would also like to add that a friend of mine has a 375rwkw kw Toyota Supra Running this exact same kit, and its awesome. We have shit fuel in mackay - 95ron is the best we can do, and all he could get was around 310rwkw on his setup (fmic, GT40 turbo, exhaust, 22psi boost, injectors and haltek). Once the kit was fitted, it eliminated all signs of detonation, and he wound the boost to 28psi, and heaps more timing, and then 375 rwkw. All on the standard supra bottom end (they are forged from the factory) He measured 100hp (60rwkw) gains, and I am assuming that if you run the right setup and tune you car properly, you would manage a good power gain. I don't think you'd see as high as him though unless you are running high boost. There are other benifits **cleaning your entire intake manifold, pistons, etc etc **lower intake temps which is always a good thing. ** Ron Rating through the roof - Like running constant Av gas ** Costs about $6 a tank extra (cheaper, and about 10 times better than a bottle of octane booster) Distilled water is about $1 a litre at Supercheap, and Methanol is about $1 a litre. 3 litres does about 1 tank of fuel. ** Has optional safe guards if you run out of water meth) Now I am not a pro, so I suggest you do some research on this, but its definately a good option. More points - ** Water meth is only injected on boost ** There is a variable controller - which means you dial in a start boost, and a finish boost. This means you don't have one constant pressure (causing the car to surge when it comes in) it means you start off with light water and the pressure increases as the boost and load increases. Perfect. ** There is a saftey system (optional extra worth the $$) When the water run out, or the pressure drops from a blockage, the saftey systems opens up a solenoid that reduces your boost to whatever your wastegate i sset to (mine is 7psi, I run 16 psi max) I have no idea on price but will update you guys when I get it in the next few days. Hope people are interested! here are the sites to look at if you are interested http://snowperformance.net/products.asp?id=1 (there is also a forum) http://www.full-throttle.com.au/Engine/Boost Cooler.htm (where I will be getting them from) These are the options I will be getting - *Boost Cooler Stage 2 Kit With the Variable Controller (comes with a 220psi pump) *Solinoid Upgrade - Stops gravity Feeding *6 Litre Reservior 8Fluid Level Switch Upgrade - Indicates fluid level. *Safe Injection™- boost/timing reduction system for use with the Boost Cooler® water/methanol injection system promises to revolutionize the industry by providing for safety even with the most aggressive tunes. *Wastegate Solenoid Upgrade - Solenoid such that boost is reduced in a wastegated turbo set-up. Watch this thread for pricing (will be around the $1300 mark) and open times and close times) Thanks guys I've done a group buy before and I'm fairly well known here. I will not rip you off... anyway. Let me know your interest!

bump again

bump - make an offer

price drop - $230

sorry to hear man. I got sent the wrong tiem twice from a user. Won't deal with them again... If you can, try and use paypal for payments - they automaticly insure you up to $1500. Can pay anyone too, not just ebay people.

yeap, its what I am trying to do http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=89613

chocolate brown usually means a near perfect AFR? Black is rich...

I checked how much it would be to get it changed to a 6 blade GT30r wheel and the changover cost is $700 New Turbo 0 $1300 .... so yeah....

too low

bump...

thats about $300 actually. Save the rest of the cash and get a front mount, and powerfc, and tune. Theres a nice 200rwkw

I'm thinking of going the cheap way - Get a RB30 block Re-Ring and hone it with the standard pistons New Big End Bearings Drop my Head on Drop the sub frame 15mm Bolt the other bits back on.. Drop it back in the car Grab a wideband o2 sensor...and go for a street tune (do it myself because we seem to have rip off tuners here in mackay) If I had a bit of extra cash, I'd balance the crank and shot peen the rods. How much boost can standard RB30 pistons take?

I've got the same setup making 225rwkw... can you tell me your other mods? (I'm running standard internals and 16psi boost)

its a common problem. Its the valve seats. What happens is you bring a car like a skyline to Australia and run it on the shitty fuel and it valve seats get dirty and every now and then a valve doesn't seat properly temporarily losing compression on that stroke. The valves slowly rotate... therefore every now and then not seating properly. if you want it to go away, take off your head and get a valve seat grind. Other than that, just leave it.

its a little motorised valve on the intake plenum. They get chocked up and sometimes don't open fast enough to let enough air in to allow the car to idle smoothly, in turn, stalling \ overfuelling the car.

nope. Didn't make mine stall. Just tighten it up and you'll be fine. If your car starts stalling, clean the aac valve. I'm in Mackay, North QLD.

no. Sold as a complete unit to bolt onto a RB25

sounds like your getting ripped. $1000 is f**ked. My tuner hit me $300 for a shit tune that I could have done by hitting the keyboard of my laptop with my cock. anyway, yeah, dude, read the faqs.. Look at the sensor readout on the powerfc and look for any erroneous values on monitor side of the powerfc.. f**k, I reckon I'd have it fixed in an hour.. I should start my own shop..
