CHOSENMAN007

Haha or everyone trying yo race you...

That's why I love it.. Affordable with super car kudos! Rare as a tramp with suede shoes

Twin charging is really very little gain for great expense. Just not worht it, though people will do it just because they can, not because it makes sense. 

Damm that's slammed. Looks ace if you like riding dirty bro ; )

Only the leathers are heated

I heard good stuff about nokian

*deletes unhelpful comment about "efficient", "safer", "engine cleaning"*
 
Congratulations Chosenman007! You have a more powerful car, a reasonable gain for a reasonable cost and the graphs to prove it, excellent job, well done for taking the plunge with this unknown, untried, untested technology!
 
It seems this whole saga has been a learning curve for everyone, thank you for investing your time and money in our education, now we know who to turn to if we want to get just a bit more power out of our FI cars    Meanwhile, I'm going to stay NA, for a number of reasons, but I'm glad someone is doing something a bit "alternative" to the Norm... 

Nice to see the positive results , interesting to hear that you get more boost too - definitely a nice side effect
 
I like the idea of switchable maps especially if you wanted a water map for road use and a meth map for track
 
PS I love your artwork Steve 

In a nut shell rob. As they are the out put is extremely healthy for a auto car. If I wanted more out right power I could of pushed mark to put on a smaller pulley. Though he said I'm making healthy boost as it is and don't need it. Though you can imagine the outcome if I did. Right now I'm very happy with the car, with lower psi tires and my new dampers I grip much better and go around corners like a purse snatcher hehe.

Here's the best way to look at my new found wheel power. All auto car.

Supercharging a stock auto car with only a filter keeping all cats in will see u at 210whp.

Adding a de cat manifold and a HFC 200 cell front pipe with full premium exhaust will see you to 222whp.

Adding a water meth system will see you 16-17 whp.

All numbers off dynos but another cars figures will vary.

All are done in stages and a must to get the best gains. Just put this up to get a idea and concept for people to see the stages of how we get extra power. After all that's why we have this forum, to share info.

With this I can see how a water meth kit is a viable option to gains and bang for buck. £200-300 for the kit of the shelf and fit it yourself. Needs mapping then a few quid on top of when you fill up with fuel. Don't forget you can run 100% water with gains but of course less. Water is free.. ; ) I know some one who is going to fit a kit to his eight six and run just water 1st. I'm intrigued at the data. Can't wait.

After with water meth.

In my opinion I'm making power more torque whilst being more efficient, safer and having much lower peak iat (intake air temps) by 15 degrees. So in short I can run more timing which equals more boost then equals more wheel power.

So in writing I've upped wheel horse power by 16whp and torque by 11lbs ft on the wheel. So that's about or over 25-28bhp fly wheel. Please wait to iat data that's the big one! More power than most manuals on a 75mm pulley and maybe the most powerful sprintex auto.

Depends, i've seen hot temperatures on prolonged track use this summer from my sprintex. If you don't want to have to lay off a few laps to stay cool then this is a potential option of keeping cooler. Do I see my temperatures as an issue? Not particularly, but I will continue to monitor them and there may be other solutions for keeping temperatures a little lower if need be. But the weather is cooling down now, wont be able to monitor it more until a heatwave lol.
 
I guess it all depends on how you look at the application, James wanter to mainly lower his temperatures and keep them consistent. I will assume this has worked though not seeing any figures yet. Power increase is a cherry on top in this scenario.

With a s.c or turbo you would of crackerd that z4

Hi Nigel!  Congrats and welcome to the club!  Sadly no idea where's the best place to get Ohlins from, maybe have a word with toyokid, he is planning on getting a set I believe.  What else have you got planned?

Just don't ask how he got the money. Lol dude I don't remember a Morrison's Lol see you tomorrow!

Sure thing Lauren, lets do a car swap sometime!

James is hella low on money at the mo, i'd say the Koni's are adequate for what he wants and will give him greater adjustability than he currently has, which is next to nothing. Of course if you can afford coilovers for sure got for it. But given he already has springs it's a viable option for him imo.

I run 30 psi all round James, though I've been thinking lately, I might try 35 on the rear to see if that reduces the grip slightly, but I think I'm trying to do the opposite of you! 
 
I think an 8" rim is optimal with a 225. I think you'll be fine though with a 235, I mean you haven't had those wheels very long so I don't blame you for not wanting to buy another set. 
 
FF cars like a Golf can tend to get on the power earlier, but you can improve your chances by the line you take, maybe it's worth looking into that. Tuition is a good thing, these CAT days seem popular, or you could pick a track and book an instructor. All these things help.

James - 'tyre proflle' is a percentage of the width, not a fixed measurement..
 
Thus, a 245/45/17 profile will have a higher wall height than a 235/45/17 profile. 'Wall height' on a 245 dia tyre is 110.25mm - 'wall height' on a 235 profile tyre is 105.75mm
 
There's your 4.5mm...

Meth no cool off. Brake pads cheap. Engine not. Rob I hit 64 degree on road with out meth. With 51 degree then right down to 38 within a few seconds

What an interesting read, I shall not comment as my 700+ engine was turbo charged but running water injection with no meths. Different opinions from owner/driver and tuner are common, so you guys all have valid points. IMHO none of which are wrong.

Ok so I will tell Phil the 13th of sept unless there is any objections? ; ) nail day mini golf day Thomas and friends day come on our with it!!! Hehehe

This is a Cheap Toyota Parts jobby, front bumpers are rare, even keith hasn't got one yet..

This weekend will be my first 'noise test' at Blyton with the new AVO 3" system... I have to say I am quite taken with the sound, even though it has the 'big box' rear rather than the separate silencers I had on the H&S.
 
There is definitely a scoobie 'burble' there at low revs.. then, when I really give it some beans it's  awesome... local guinea pigs spontaneously abort and old ladies imitate Lynford Christie....

Tint day then turn it into a mini meet?

Yokohama's v105s 30psi all around and boom. Best I've used, I've used a lot of rubber in my day ; )
