.::|Active Autowerkes Stage "TrippinBimmer" 330i ZHP Supercharged Street/Show Car|::.

Worked on the 330 some more today and hopefully get the DME tomorrow so I can head out to MFEST!

Installed the Lower 90* elbow and clamped it all down.


Installed the S/C Intake Pipe.


Can see my NPT to -10an fitting with a Straight AN Barb.


Then the Valve Cover Fitting to 45* Fitting. It is a tight fit but manage to get it to work


The Catch can will be in the drug bin area.


Got Awesome News.

AA got the DME this morning safe and sound.

Viral called me today asking what tune did I needed. Told him Stage 2.5 and running 3" exhaust with gen3 type headers.

Then he told me that "you know u will kill the Auto tranny."

I was like yeah...lol

-Trip

Meth is only good for 15rwhp?

I realize this is just a general comment, but it's a good point for me to elaborate on.

To continue on from the other thread I started yesterday:

Octane
Pump 93 = 93 Octane
E85 = 102 Octane
Methonol = 119 Octane

Auto Ignition Temp (C)
Pump 93 = 280
E85 = 365
Methonol = 470

If E85 is like pump fuel on cocaine, then Meth is speedballing.

Meth is in most cases a better fuel for FI than E85, but it isn't as easy to buy or as cheap.

Meth can be worth a LOT of power when you replace/augment the fueling of an engine consuming pump fuel with meth. The HPF kit is a good example of this, where at a certain RPM/boost threshold, the meth system activates and takes over a large percent of the fuel requirements of the engine. As RPM increases, the flow rate of the meth stays somewhat constant, (It actually decreases slightly as manifold pressure increases) and the ECU adds more pump fuel to meet the fueling demand of the engine. This is why the HPF kits have such a nice torque increase in the midrange on meth, because a major part of the engine's fuel demand is being met by Meth injection, which allows a more timing and has the side effect of lower IATs. Meth is a good thing.

Aftermarket meth kits are disigned primarily to aid in reducing IATs, not to be part of the supply of an engines primary fuel demands. So the gains you can expect to see from adding one of these kits is a lot less than if the meth system is integrated into the primary fueling of the engine as HPF have ingeneously done.

Most engine tuners hate tuning an engine to depend on aftermarket meth injection, as it is not as reliable a fueling solution as "normal" fuel systems, and the effects of even minor failures can be devastating.

So the bottom line is that you can see 100+hp gains from meth injection, but it's usually as part of the primary fueling of an engine.

I don't think +15rwhp with a basic meth kit is unreasonable, but it's certainly not the limit of what is possible with quality components, installation, and tuning.
