btw - here is the port job on the green

iv tried my best with the tools used to make the porting as coherent as possible. There is no kinks, or sharp edges that will stand in the way of the flow.

As i said - the phone pics are a bit misleading. its smooth (as much as the untouched pipe bit of pipe)

Bit of an update:

got my bits back ceramic coated.




turbo pics to come.. ordered a turbo beenie to suit.



Also ordered a Aquamist HFS-5 water/methanol injection kit. Should arrive next week!




Split rails were cut and hidden totally underneath the manifold. SARD FPR was installed but since i dont have a fuel reg gauge - i think i'l leave it up to Tenagah to finish it off.
More bits to come!

where did you get the water/methanol kit from....................

IA Performance in the US, best price i found on the Aquamist kit

How much boost are you planning on running?

Somewhere between the amount of air the STi top mount can handle and where my injectors run out...

Then again - not planning on running Ecutek much longer so i can afford to go top chops if need be.

I have a sti TMIC and decapped 550's and the tuner found there was no real benifit running more than 1.5bar.

Sti TMIC = fail. (ish)

Is the tmic defficient because of cooling or air flow?
I think it would be because of cooling capacity.

In which shouldnt be that much of a problem when it'l be squirting 50/50 water-methanol. Guys from the UK are having awsm results with this unit and tmic's.
I'l see how it goes, im confident it should work alright.

It would be better if it was squirting from the outlet from a front mount cooler - it would allow the water/meth mix to fully cool the charge air longer, but then i would have the lag that i dont want again.

Turbo's get very hot with lots of boost, so the TMIC sitting right on top of it gets hot too. Hot IC = hot air temps. Essentially a cycle of doom.

Water/meth is a great idea, just hope something doesn't fail or prepare for the worst when tuning (i.e. have a failsafe mode or something).
