Long time driver, first time forumer.

- Mon Feb 04, 2008 11:07 pm #40872 My name is Mat. Currently i live in Mi. Graduated college about a year ago and i'm finally getting my life in my hand. I drive a 2003 Avalanche, which is ok seeing as i do prototype dyno work for GM. My love is my '93 Hatch that resides in my garage for the time being.
At school i completed all of the machining and purchasing of parts for the Vitara Build. The build is complete with the exception of wiring in the resistor box, completing the seperate oiling system for the turbo and installing my piping.
During the last summer at college i got the bright idea to intall the front end of a 2000 Integra. Bad idea. I am in the market for most of the front end of a hatch.
Cant wait till summer. Drive away

- Fri Feb 08, 2008 8:07 am #41409 very right on that. most honda driver dont utilize methanol. as long as its placed int he vorrect and efficient places its absolutely a great thought. i will end up 3 injectors for the meth. one spraying into the turbine, one before the intercooler and one after the BOV. total on an average michigan summer day of around 76 and 83 degrees i should have a meth efficiency of 73%. if you do the math its about 16 degrees lower than ambient temp. helps alot but can become detrimental to your engine is used to much. i dont want it too cool or cold to the point of me creating condensation in my manifold or even worse basically creating snow in my manifold. this would be really bad.
