Stillen SC kit with meth injection

NitrousZ34 · 05-25-2013, 07:11 AM

I don't think you fully understand what your getting, or getting yourself into. You do HAVE to tune the car again if you are getting a meth kit installed. You can't just install it and expect it to be fine under full boost. You're going to do more harm then good. That's like asking if you need a tune once you install a FI kit.

i run mine with out a tune and its fine
it will help keep your intake charge temp down i am using 80% water 20% meth atm because the car is not tuned for the meth

once the car is tuned for water/meth timing is added at that point you dont want to run the car hard and run out of the spray that could kill the motor

but yes with out it being tuned your not going to get the most out of water/meth
but if your running it with mostly water its more of a coolant then anything

Ok cool thanks man! Did you notice a difference?

No differents in power because like I side that would involved advancing timing
But I did notice the intake was a little cooler to the touch then running with it off on hot days
My setup only sprays under load 3 or more lbs of boost

Just remember water absorbs heat there for reducing intake air temp.
And meth increase detonation threshold ie acts like an octane booster

My advice for people keeping the Stillen kit upgrade the size of your coolant tank for the supercharger.

This was after a short drive and its about 65 degs outside and I did not use the water/meth or drive in boost

I am trying out relocating the battery and using the battery box to install a large water reservoir. The reservoir will not be in the engine bay and will have ventilation this should help keep the container cooler. Stillen puts thick plastic piece in the engine bay. As hot as our motors run relocating it is a win, win.

Hey man you running the 9lb pully?

No I have the stock pulley, 34 jack shaft COG and 32 SC COG.

The impeller will be pushing more air sooner, than Stillens kit.
