Sorry for the confusion, Rich. I was referring to Pete at STC. It's a pretty hillarious dude.

Mac, I didn't forget about you man. I'll give you a ring soon! Got lots to talk about....

No problem, i didn't take it in a negative way. I though you was just having a joke about a past post...

Mac, thanks again

Did you just use a large hole saw bit to cut the valve cover and timing cover?

No. These were machine cut with a lathe by a machinist. He cut both the plastic and cover. Kind of a "signature" that I've done to a lot of the builds of late.

Not exactly sure. More than likely spring time or so. there are still quite few parts to get ready for for the chassis. J3537r is a slow builder and almost has too much patience. So this intro to the build is more like Phase 1 of 3. I'll keep everyone up to date on some changes. I'll get into management and injectors soon.

Yeah I remember seeing it before. I figured it was to clean for a hole saw plus that'd be a big *** bit. I wonder if my local machine shop could pull it off if I showed them a pic of this. I'm a big fan of my timing covers. I don't want to have to go without it if I can avoid it.

What kind of gains can you expect to see from a standard 3582 to this billet wheel 3584? The aero looks completly different. Lots of blade surface area....

93OCT and 70/30 meth-water injection, by way of AEM's kit or Cooling mist. He hasn't decided yet.

We'll be using Liquid HEET as the source of methanol.
Heet, as you know, is a gas-line antifreeze & water remover designed for cold weather starting, preventing gas line freeze ups and for removing moisture from your fuel system. Heet is essentially 12 oz. of pure methanol and works as a great as a kicker to windshield wiper fluid, generally costing only $1.50 per bottle, when users want to increase the methanol content.

Basic mixing instructions. Take for example 1 gallon of negative -20 degree below zero windshield washer fluid, which is approximately 30% methanol 70% water. By adding four 12oz bottles of Heet, to the one gallon of windshield washer fluid will give you a 50/50 mix of water and methanol. We'll more than likely be adding about 2 bottles of HEET to the mixture.


The question now is going to be whether or not he's going to use the Older school AEM EMS v1.19 management, or go to Hondata S300. I'm going to be on the Engine Management forum to get some professional opinions, but you're welcome here to post thoughts. Please: no comparsion of features between the two systems, as we're looking at usability and the system's processing ability to function with ease of integration. He will not consider Neptune RTP, so don't ask as a consideration.

Why version 1? Because of the cost of used boxes lately?

What is the budget for an EMS?

Just a tid bit of info there shodan, ive been running supertech -20 windshield washer fluid in my methanol system on a 4gph nozzle whichs draws from a 3 gallon trunk tank. I have been having alot of issues with build up from what appears to be the blue dye in the washer fluid on the nozzle itself and in the filtration system. Personally id recommend sticking with 50/50 boost juice or something that devils own mixes, as I dont think they suffer from the same kind of dye issues.

Thanks. I may just eliminate the washer fluid portion. I'll still use a 70/30 mix. We've done that one before just with HEET and water.

I currently own a version 1 box. The budget isn't set in stone yet. It keeps changing day to day as ideas keep arising and my mind wonders.

J3573r couldn't find the lower portion of his original solenoid, so he got the Skunk2 replacement for it. The original was over $100, and we didn't have time to go search for another one around. (kinda scarce in the area), so this was a good alternative

Call up AEM, I think they are doing upgrades to a V2 box for a decent price. Well worth it...

Awesome. I'll be calling Tech support about that today. I like that option best.
