Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    I thought NOS came in pressure vessels ? (and therefore didn't need a pump - or is this the ultra-hyper power version ? )

      My car came with a windscreen washer. Don't GT Sport have them?

        nnnniiiice water/meth injection is a great way to control intake temps. Be interesting to see what results you get.

              Yep but mine now doubles as an intercooler spray.

                Niiiiiice. I might make one of these myself with a washer pump and my own injector. Just need to make a metering pill up like i did for the warmup bottle on the Dragster..

                Methanol isn't kind to paint (worse than Petrol, nothing like Nitro..) and leaves a white residue.. Something to be mindful of.

                  Will be awesome to see this kit installed, the results are set to be unreal.

                    Nice

                    what is your controller going to be?
                    Wiring it into accelerator pedal or something along those lines?


                    You must be running out of space... Battery relocate?

                    Are there any local legal issues with running a kit like this?
                    You don't often hear about it on daily cars in oz (unlike the states where on the mkv it seems as common as air in tyres)

                      Hey ol' mate!

                      Has it's own computer 3D map. Takes boost and EGT, and can run either or both at the same time. The most complex unit there is, and it cost accordingly!

                      EDIT: To fit the meth tank I'm gonna have to do the Polar battery mod. Good excuse really!

                      As far as I know water/meth is not illegal, as at 50% meth or less it's not considered a flammable liquid, but all the same I'm not about to tell the world about it.

                        really looks like the ducks nuts type of kit there mate - very swish indeed.

                        i'm thinking that a more simple boost controlled version might be the go on my mk3, since without a VNT i donyt have low rev boost spikes to deal with. preeny, we should stick our heads together maybe and make up some kind of mechanical metering device. for my car it could be actuated by a boost can, for yours you might use manifold vacuum instead!

                        anyway, enough hijacking. with your application, it will be very interesting to see just how much extra power you get

                          It comes down to finding a high PSI pump, the Snow one looks like a sureflow, and is rated at 217psi. Combine that with a high quality spray nozzle, such as the "spraying systems" types that Autospeed recommended for my intelligent intercooler spray, and you're set. It's all about atomisation. All the rest is pretty basic really, sure mine has a tricky controller, but at $900, it would want to!!!

                          Just remember Methanol is an accumulative poison, which like heavy metals, builds up in your system over time. Be careful kids!

                            Went and got a quote for custom alloy intercooler plumbing, and whilst I knew it wasn't going to be inexpensive, it was indeed scary! Still, I see it as a necessary step, the major pitfall was the plastic end tanks on the stock intercooler, and the subsequent need to use the stock swaged on stainless connectors, or to machine up something similar. I've also heard they leak, so a bit of research to do in this area.

                            On the postman present side, I had two more arrivals today. Half Polar weight and space saving, half crazy yank truck stuff. It's a 3" Aero XL muff, and it's a big unit. Totally straight through, resonator section at first, then the aero cone which you can part see, and then the backward facing flutes which are supposed to enduce the venturi effect. In the very least it isn't going to be a restriction, plus given the length of it takes care of about half of my exhaust! The XL resonated version is said to be close to stock noise yet zero restriction.



                            From the inlet...



                            From the outlet...

                              Methanol/Water injection on top of the DPF delete.

                              That is going to make for one hell of a quick tractor.
