bump for getting rid of my damn bad luck so i can finally install this insane kit

 

[K. Soze]

Haha, it'll happen in all due time.

Oh, and good luck on the Ride of the Month. I voted for ya. (wiggle)

 

[S.A.MSP]

thanks alot man, really appreciate it!! if i get the car back up on friday then i'll install the kit on Saturday if all permits!

 

[K. Soze]

Kicker, I wanna see that new stuff installed. (band)

 

[kicker22705]

haha sorry, i have everything installed, it's just i'm waiting on a fused power distributor block to power everything from my gauges to meth kit. i got sick of tapping into acc on and my radio. looked like crap, and wasn't gonna be too long before i started blowing fuses.

 

[K. Soze]

Sounds like a good excuse to me. You know what I'm gonna say next......don't forget pictures. (yes)

 

[K. Soze]

I'm fiendin' for some installs and photos.

 

[kicker22705]

sorry i'm still waiting on some parts. but i can assure you i will have pictures, videos, reviews, etc.

kinda off topic, but our local forum is actually starting a online magazine launching in May, and I brought up using this methanol kit as one of our first parts review article. would you guys be okay with that.

 

[K. Soze]

We would love it!! As long as you mail us a copy of the issue our product is in. (rockon)

 

[K. Soze]

i'll keep you updated when i find out more.

 

[K. Soze]

Cool. You know how to get a hold of me.

 

[kicker22705]

as i promised...

the gauge on the left reading "000" is the flow gauge
the 2nd picture is the IFS-10 - Injection Fail Safe (mounted by my left kick panel)
the 3rd picture is the BBK-10 - Boost By-Pass Kit (mounted in the engine bay by my CAI)
the 4th picture is what i see when i drive. New HKS RS Meters FTW!!!

flow gauge is really really bright as you can see, and thats w/ it dimmed

should be getting some road tuning later today.

 

[K. Soze]

Nice! That looks great. Thanks for posting the pictures up. Hopefully this will give an idea to members that our stuff isn't that tough to install or find areas to place our failsafes and controllers.

 

[kicker22705]

well I know now that the IFS-10 and BBK-10 work, and work well. my nozzle clogged, and it kept cutting the boost from high boost to wastegate. I thought something was wrong w/ my EBC and kept cranking the boost but the BBK-10 kept returning it to wastegate. Took me a few minutes before i realized what was going on. i'm pretty glad i had it, and nozzle didn't clog until after i installed the IFS-10/BBK... talk about lucky.

do you have any idea why the nozzle clogged? you did just install it right?

 

[kicker22705]

yeah it was installed right. there was just something that clogged the hole in the nozzle. could've been mineral deposit, debris, i really don't know. i replaced the nozzle and everything works well now.

i didnt question if you installed it correctly. the sentence should have read, "you did just install it, isnt that right?"

im glad you got it fixed

 

[K. Soze]

Thank goodness the product worked for ya. Added safety is always a good thing.
