Are you going to spray after or before the SC? I am strongly considering a simple single nozzle before the S/C to keep temps in check.

Ill let you guys know how it works out.that's What im doing Izzy spraying a small amount into the SC at the TB.I will run it with a switch and set it to run 30% spray at 8psi and go from there.im only going to use it while racing and once I hit 3rd gear in the 1/4 mile

Some of the SRT-6 and C32 guys have experimented with a water/meth injection install. Allegedly, one of the two S/C rotors has a teflon coating that eventually will start chipping away due to the W/M. YMMV of course, but be careful and keep an eye on things.

is there a thread on that and were they running 50/50 or 100% meth and how much were they spraying?

Ill do a 30/70 mix with more water if thats the case since I dont care about the oct.I just want to lower iats

what about using rubbing alcohol instead of methanol ?

Not bashing you, I just don't think spraying anything into our SC is a good idea at all. Too many potential problems. What is your concern with post SC/pre IAT sensor placement?

Also curious about why you are changing your set up and going smaller?

Good luck man!

The Meth is only going to be used once and a while,its not worth it for me to take the SC off again.the SC is what's making the heat.I want to lower the temp in the blower to increase efficiency.Again this is my car and know the risks ect.

The 180 pulley is a joke I will never run anything over a 172.heck my car now on stock boost is out trapping my friends with a 180.

Its like volcano smashing 170d boost into the engine.on top of my 180 wobbling and not having a damper and my codes from the 82mm TB I ended up taking it all off.I got a refund from eurocharged and that whole time I had those mods on I wanted to sell my car because it ran so inconsistent.

I agree..



I have a 178mm from ASP.. and its over 3 years old.

I drove the car with 1 year without Tune and cooling mods.. I was running worst than stock.
