I didn't have much time to drive it, but i wouldn't say it feels like a different car.

maybe it needs a day to break in and the ECU to learn the new curve? I dunno

probably don't notice that much because you probably only gained 30 lbs of torque.. that is what you "feel" you had a lot of mods before the charger.. if you went from bone stock to charger THEN you would feel a bigger difference.. PLUS in cold weather it's completely different.. good luck

ALSO Get that thing on the dyno to check the A/F ratio. make sure you have no problems like i had that completely robbed all the power

Let me know how that bad boy feels tomorrow after it cools off and the comp adjusts! AcuraDriver2006 said my car didnt feel that fast when I got my blower put on right after the install. He came to my house a week later and said it was totally different.

Question on start/stop procedure.

When are you guys start spraying and most important how do you control the nozle/pump to stop when you let off the throttle? Also, I heard when spraying at low boost you might get misfires.

So, the switch hooked up, right? Then does it stop spraying when not under boost or when you let off the throttle. Basically I'm asking is the switch controls ON/OFF cycle? Thanks.

Wow, just had a 300km trip and I emptied the whole tank full of windshield washer fluid. Is my pressure on the tank set too high? On the other hand, I just found out there is actually a sensor to sense low washer fluid level.

My kit came with the 225ml nozzle, what pressure should I set the pump at? I think I have it 4 turn back from full pressure.

do you have a switch for the pump? i don't turn the pump on all the time... put a switch in if you didn't do that already.. i don't remember how many turns.. i was tuning it with my a/f gauge..

Lookinco, which kit did you get and who installed it for you. I'm going to get one also for my car.

I installed it myself, i got the stage 1 kit from snow performance. I coudln't tune it with my AEM UEGO as everytime I boost it goes rich and goes out of range on the gauge. Maybe I will need to go to a dyno.

Just wondering, what A/F ratio do you guys have under boost?

You mentioned a solenoid is needed if we install the injection kit after the TB. Was this what you were talking about? http://www.snowperformance.net/prodd...p?prod=auto210

As always, there's more than one way to do it. Here is an alternative that I use and love the results. It pretty much shuts off the spray as soon as your out of the throttle and is activated by boost that you set the switch to.

Before it was installed the blower would get hot and the intake manifold would get REALLY hot. So after 45 mins driving home I decided to get on it a little around my house just to try to heat up the manifold and blower, basically just trying to get it heatsoaked. What do you know, I get into my garage, popped the hood, and the intake manifold felt like the car was never even started. For me it is worth it, all I wanted is the blower not to get heatsoaked anymore. I really wasnt expecting any HP gains, but any gains will be a plus. My guess after driving home last night, even in the rain, but some spots on the parkway were dry, there is some HP gains. I will drive the car today on some dry roads and give some more info. Also if the weather holds I will be going to the track tonight. 13.5s.
you have a few minutes to chat?
