im from a hot/humid area (fl to be exact) this summer i'm planning on upping the boost on my car. i was wondering at what point (whp/heat) would it be a good idea to install a water/meth kit. this is going in a stock ls/vtec with a t3/t04e 57 trim .53 ar. my hp goal is 375 400. e85 is not an option and a typical fl day in the summer is 90deg 90% humidity and the nights are really not any better

It is dependant upon exactly WHERE you start to get detonation based upon the fuel used. Whether its 90 degree day with lots of humidity or not, the engine itself will see more internal combusted radiant heat

You should be able to hit those numbers on a good setup on straight 93

Not stock bottom end he wont

LightningTeg

Sure he can lol. Reliability isnt going to change by adding meth in the case you are referring to.

i've actually read this exact article lol. i understand that the engine itself will be the main cause of my heat problem but if the ambient temp is 110deg then thats as low as i can get my charge/intercooler temp regardless of the size of the intercooler. so i was looking for kinda a cheat to bring my temp/knock down

i know that i dont have the most ideal setup but im in the army and if the block last a year... well i'll gone for a year

how does it run in the summer

JoHnnY LonGHoRn

fine i actually take out my therm set my fan to 160 ...... i have a jdm teggy so the dual core , even the single core doesnt fit right...... so i used a blackworks slim fan and a 2000 si rad cuz there thicker for a/c and shes good..... it heats up when i beat on it but it does that in the winter ,,,,, but i mean beatin it

yeah but damn i mean everything under my hood is CRAZY hot. take it i have a stock civic rad and fan.

wedge the hood instead of gettin a meth kit buy some nrg hood dampers and shims wedge the hood natural cowl will help keep the engine compartment cooler and u can also get a turbo blanket
