They are proud of their stuff, but it is high quality.

so guys I found the timing limit on my meth setup. last log of the night I logged 22.5 degrees timing and I got 1.5 degrees retard. my limit is 21 with no knock from other log. but I will be setting it at a safer 19 I think. damn this direct port and one step colder plug sure did help. got a full forth gear pull today, damn thing gave me a small anxiety attack lol the adrenaline is back. I am very impressed.

Shit that sounds nice man! I havent had that adrenaline hit me in quite some time

21 degrees is too high for your setup, you need to turn up da boost man! :lol:

If its not knocking and still making power its not too high. But I'm at 19 so its ok. Lol I may even drop to 18 for extra safety .

What size threads is ur nitrous ports? If its 1/8 npt meth nozzle will fit. Idk how nos installs though

Okay I finally found some time to figure out the size and it is 1/16th NPT so it is smaller but there is room to go up to 1/8th NPT.

And that right there is the reason we like playing with our cars and striving for more HP. :)

tomj77 04-16-2019 08:21 PM

Lol for sure. I took a car buddy for a spin. Think i scared him . said it was scarier then rwd lmao. I think he was surprised by getting pushed back in his seat as much as he did.

Dynoing with new meth setup may 3rd.

tomj77 05-03-2019 07:47 PM

I am so pumped. Dynod 517whp and 454wtq. Yes!!! Goal on this build achieved. On 94 pump gas no less. :guns:

Snail_SS 05-03-2019 07:53 PM

Damn that's awesome man!

I know right? That direct port meth really did an awesome job. Worth the 500 bucks. 45 hp more it got me

Snail_SS 05-03-2019 08:09 PM

Really that's all it cost? That's not bad and no more dirty valves

tomj77 05-03-2019 09:31 PM

yup. should all do direct port and tell them I sent you lol

Awesome numbers man!

ECaulk 05-04-2019 09:40 AM

That is awesome for power numbers on pump.

I've been considering the direct port meth setup after seeing yours.

Prometh

I think I'll have to look into it, just idk about running meth since I daily my car and dont want to do more stuff to it hahaha

If you can DIY mechanical mount a pump, tank, tap one hole, read instructions and do wiring of 6 wires using a fuse, than it has an excellent 'Torque per Dollar' value and some may argue safety factor. LNF benefits from port valve cleaning action if you set the boost switch lower. Run a smaller jet makes the tank last a long time and if you have an electronic boost controller some methanol systems can send a signal out to trip the boost controller or kill it's power with a relay. I used a water/methanol tube bung and E6000 adhesive on my stock washer tank (3 years still holding). I also run a kit on the Cruze missile, that poor 1.4T needs it if you want to run timing in the teens.

Those are awesome numbers and $500. for 45 HP is a great price. The only downside is all of the extra $$ you are going to spend on tires. :lol:

Then you have come to the wrong place. If it wasn't for this forum I would have never started my project and we know how that worked out for me. ;)

Snail_SS 05-05-2019 01:34 PM

Ohh dont get me wrong my car is far from stock now (as you can see on my sig) and I still have plans like zzp upgraded hpfp and cams. Already have the valve springs.

i already had the meth system but I ended up selling it. so I know the gains to be had with meth on the car. I dont want to go crazy and make the car unreliable as I mentioned my car is my daily. Also 500 whp on stock engine is asking for trouble after sometime

tomj77 05-08-2019 10:44 AM

I should probably post my shitty dyno videos huh lol well here is dyno graph till I do

Very nice. Did you have anyway of seeing how your meth affected your IAT temps?

He has no way to tell because of where he is spraying. Do some math based on the mass flow of meth/water and then you have theoretical heat reduction

No. No temp sensor for direct port. Does keep egts like 300 degrees cooler though

From what iv seen in the past its not a whole lot cooler. Like 10 degrees , which is actually very helpful. Its the exhaust temp that it effects alot, by a few hundred degrees.
