It was a hard deal not to pass up. I plan to baby this car as much as possible.

Hopefully you're coming to DGRR again this year?

I registered about two months ago but still planning on it, just trying to get a couple last minute things done with this car.

Congratulations, that's been one of my favorite cars I've had my hand's on. It is a sweet car and Wess has almost made me **** myself in it, he likes those turns and I hate sitting in the passenger seat. Your pretty far away from me but if you ever need advice or just want to chat about your car feel free. I'll help you out as much as I can. Your lucky, Wess had a bunch of offers on that car. He's like me, I would never sell something like that to someone not mature enough to not kill himself in it. He told me about a few.
Ps, take it a little easy on it for the first few tanks, also run some fuel system cleaner through it.

Moon Assad

I have one, a special one. Text me if you have cash.

Thanks for the advice and info Moon. I was happy to find out it was installed by you when Wes and I talked about it. Im sure some questions will arise at some point but I will get on the fuel system cleaner. I just got the BHR ignition installed and was hoping to do the meth kit before DGRR but getting it liscensed is my first priority.

If you install the BHR coils you will need to adjust the dwell

Don't use the Generic M=X factor either Ottoman has the appropriate char needed for 585 coils

I have the BHR coils already installed actaully but havent started the car up with them yet, is it a bad idea to even drive the car before I adjust the dwell?

I would usually have no issue with that but the AP I have is telling me that "This vehicle is not supported by this version AP. I tried contacting Cobb but havent heard anything yet. Tried updating the Cobb and even though it updated still have the same issue.

Moon Assad

Should have left the coils alone. The way I installed them avoids the problems. Why mazda put them on a metal plate is beyond me.

Moon Assad

From some of the experiences I've seen that others have had with the water meth I'd hold off on that. It's not good for any of the rubber. It's also been seen to wash the oil off the surfaces that need it causing your apex seal to were faster. If you decide to use it use very little. I like the idea of spraying it on your heat exchangers and not in your engine. That will bring your intake temps down as well as your engine temps.

My main reason for going BHR was because I got them when I bought the car. I figured since they were a very good investment on the NA 8s that it was one of those things I might as well do if I had them. Unfortunately I was to eager though and should have held off. My Accessport seems to need fixing so until then I will be putting it back the way you had it Moon. At least I feel I learned some more about the kit in the process.

Ill keep this in mind when I decide on what to do with the kit. I suppose I could always just sell it but I have a hard time not wanting to put parts I have on a car, especially when they all look so good.

I like that idea as well. I still have a lot of reading ahead of me.

It's been used with great success on rotary engines. When you're talking 30-50% meth the assertions above are not well founded. That looks more like the conclusions of someone who didn't know what they were doing and/or tried to cobble something together on the cheap.

Moon Assad

Ok, call Kenny bell and ask there tech support about how the seals in the superchargers hold up to it.

Moon Assad

There are a lot of cars making very high amounts of horsepower to the ground not using water meth. Diasio for instance. Lap after lap, no water meth. It's been a while and I'm not sure on current numbers but last I herd it was about 410hp to the ground. Lap after consistent lap, 410 to the ground, no water meth. I'm going back to building my s2 engine. Getting it ready for some serious ****. Run along team.

TeamRX8

iTrader: (25)

Except that's not what you said or stated originally, is it? That may well be a valid point.

How about all the 2 rotor engines making 500+ hp on it long term. Last I heard Diasio engines had a limited lifespan followed by expensive rebuilds due to extensive internal heat damage, but like yourself I quit following their progress a long time ago ...

I had my supercharger rebuilt by Kenne Bell. When I bought it was used. When Kenne diagnosed the SC, they told me that they believed the person who had the SCmust have been using water/meth cause the seals inside the SC to fail.
Just some info on my SC.

Moon Assad

I'm not an idiot man. I say it as I see it. like I've said before, you have team on your profile. That's funny because your not a team player so that said, I see you as a smoke blower and **** starter.

Moon Assad

There's people making 500hp with no water/meth injection as well. Like I said, spray it on the heat exchangers. That gets to your radiator as well.

There's more than one way to skin a cat and it is an effectively proven way to control detonation, which when you're starting with a 10:1 compression engine that also doesn't like high EGT is something to take note of. That of course is a different debate for a different thread, so excuse me while I move on now ....

skc

Can the water meth be injected after the air has been compressed.

Galen Darkmoon

It certainly can, but much better to inject before the SC, a good mix of meth and water will vaporize when it hits the heat from the compressor. Just don't over do it. Doing it after the S/c is kinda iffy. Just had my car dynoed again by Steve Kan, and my po lil 6 speed auto still pulling 240 plus at the wheels. All we saw was a kooler intake, the car was not tuned to use the mix.
Remember the saying, a little goes a long ways. We are not trying to have a monster. Our poor lil 1.3 is bad enuff.

There are ppl that will tune your car by mail, LMAO. PLS just throw money out the window

I had BHR coils installed at the shop where they flew in MM for a custom Cobb tune day bc I was afraid of the dwell issue. They installed the coils and then MM plugged in his Cobb to tune it and got the same error. He tried a few different things but could not get the EFI Dude tune to take a new flash. He had me send out my ECU to Cobb to have it reset. Once I got it back from Cobb, it took a reflash with no issue.

My car started up fine and drove home gingerly around 25 miles (shout out to 200mph for following me home).

Honstly, the EFI dude tune was great. If I had to do it all over again, I would leave the 8psi pulley on, the EFI dude tune running, and the stock injectors on.

To be fair, the car "felt" more responsive once I could go full throttle again. But it was a few weeks so my butt dyno wasnt so great.

I figured I would ask here instead of making a new thread what Lysholm model supercharger is used in the Pettit kits? (sorry just realized there was a better thread to put this question in)
