supercharger questions

I am running s/c with custom cold air, j pipe catback and race pipe to delete 3rd cat. I am also running 93 octane with booster about 97-98 octane. I never rev past 4rpm's. Anything I can do cost cheaply to increase reliablility? Only thing I can think of is meth and I should be fine if I dont "beat" on my car.

What would be the easiest and cheapest way to make it reliable? Anyone know of what parts I should get and how much it would cost and where I can get it done?

Methanol injection. And that booster is putting you at 93.5, not 97. Don't be fooled by the wording, it boosts by a few "points", meaning after the decimal. If you want an octane booster, buy the active ingredient in any booster, toluene by the gallon at the paint store. Much cheaper and much more effective.

Hondata is a company in SoCal that makes updates, add-ons and upgrades to the ECU of a car.

In 2007 I was one of a few cars that was able to purchase a "reflash" / upgrade from them for my 04TL with S/C and HBP.

It works very well, but I think they stopped the project.

I'm not sure why.

I would stay away from Coolingmist. AEM makes a meth injection kit with the progressive controler, Snow is another good kit, but you do have to get the stage two kit to get the progressive controler.

I looked at coolingmist when I was in the market and found a lot of people had issues with their kits. If you are doing 50/50 I would go with the AEM kit.

ihc is right. ive never seen an octane booster sold in parts stores to be much effective. i used to drag turbo b18's. i dont know if its still around, but we used 76 coolblue100. its a 100 octane sold in 5 gallon pails. or vp racing fuel.

So you have absolutely NO engine management except the ACM? lol.

If you want it to run reliable, you'd want to look into that asap.

Have no clue as to why some people skimp out on fine tuning the car when you go with boost. Doesn't make sense to me.
