What else do i need to reach my goal?

[craracer05]

My goal is to lay down 450awhp, check out my profile so all the parts i have already. I'm mostly curious if i should get an water/injection setup as well to reach my goal on pump gas or should i run race gas. Car will be mostly track driven on the the street maybe once or twice a week.

 

[craracer05]

Anybody?,I really want to know if i'll be wasting my money on on a water/meth setup.

 

[92dsmtalon]

Have you installed any of those parts that say "not installed"?

 

[craracer05]

Nope their all sitting in my closet, i took a week off work and i'm pulling the motor and transmission sunday. The motor will be getting built but i still need to save up for my shep stage 3 tranny. In my down time i'm cleaning up all uder the hood and bottom of the car. Hven't had time to do much performance work already replaced all rotors,calipers,wheel bearings,front ball joints,parking brake cables,headliner,speakers,shocks,springs,hatch struts, u know all the fun stuff.

With enough boost you can reach anything.

The ACT2600 may not hold up to the torque.

Your going to need a wideband egt if you want to be safe and definitely dsmlink or safc.

 

[craracer05]

Definately getting dsmlink just dropped 200 on a 90 eprom with a leaky cap at that. Will my internals,mitsu MLS head gasket and arps take 30 psi on 94 pump gas or will i definatley need the water/meth injection. Remember goal is to be 450awhp
Was considering getting the act 2900 with street disc didn't want to over kill it. Was considering a SMIM but i would have to get a magnus 4 sure (already spending my life savings). Figured i would need a wideband, not too sure about egt just don't know much about to read them.

So does anyone think the water/meth injection will be necessary??

 

[Boostin91TSi]

Yeah, methanol injection is a good way to help out with getting towards your goal. I would say Devil's Own or Snow Performance. There are quite a couple of methanol injection kits out there ranging from like $250-$500.

 

[craracer05]

I guess my other big question is will i need to get my head ported or a smim ### are big money nad will delay this project even further.

 

[oldman420]

I would have to say yes, i would definately port my head and inake runners. Also create you own water meth injection, I have plans to re-route off my rear window washer pump and put them on better nozzles and BAM. water/meth injection

I wouldn't bother with the SMIM, know a few local guys who are in the 400-club, and are still on the stock intake mani with no problem. Most of those who get them don't need them... just some Honda kid recommended that they replace their intake manifold, as (in general) Honda intake mannies blow massive goats.

Sounds like you need to get those parts on your car, and get a damn good tune.
A wideband O2 would help (EGTs are not useful once you have a wideband, unless you run one on each exhaust runner), as would switching over to a 2G MAS or GM MAS/MAF-T setup. Even with DSMLink able to switch over to VE operation once your MAS is topped out, having the extra metering ability should help. While you're at it, a hard intake pipe wouldn't hurt.

Relocating the battery to the passenger-side trunk will give you a lot more room under the hood, and improve the balance of the car.

I'd go with ethanol/methanol injection... helps cool things down, and will give you at least a little more breathing room before you risk really running lean on that big-ass turbo. Definitely will want to go up to at least an ACT2900, if not a 3200 just to be safe, and get your tranny built good and strong.
On a side note, if you're still on the stock three-bolt rear, save up and have a four-bolt ready to go on... the three-bolt is likely to snap pretty quick with that kind of power getting pushed through it, at least if you're planning to drag.

 

[craracer05]

Yeah i already moved the battery to the trunk,also got rid of my cruise control. I will most likely get an act2900 with street disc. Saving up for a shep stage 3 transsmission right now. I'm considering a gm maf-t setup. Definately getting water?meth injection. ANyone else have advice on head porting. Most shops are around 1200-1500 for a decent and i'm already penny pinching.

I would have to say yes, i would definately port my head and inake runners. Also create you own water meth injection, I have plans to re-route off my rear window washer pump and put them on better nozzles and BAM. water/meth injection

now that is a bad ass idea

 

[Talesin]

I prefer to keep my rear washer, and disconnect the wiper motor plug.. aim the nozzle upward a bit, and hit the button to give anyone who's tailgating me a nice spritz to help wake them up and back the hell off.

 

[craracer05]

So my head is being done right now ordered a Slowboy Stage V.Considering a JMF smim,also will be ordering GM MAF/MAFT setup. I am tryin for low 11s?!?

 

[Skip01]

Definatley a wideband egt dsmlink and money
