are you noticing significant gains from the water/alcohol injection? and are u spraying that into your intercooler pipe on the hot side? and with what sort of nozzle?
Don't know yet just got it hooked up. Realy have not had a chance to get the car out waiting on other parts. If you look at the pic you'll see a clear plastic hose going into the high pressure side of the turbo just before the throttle body. Thats where the nossle is. The nozzels are rated at 175, 225, 325, 425. Check out www.snowperformance.net for all the info on the kit I used.

That some nice work!

What is the potential of the 1.6 and what kind of power are you aiming for?

Thanks

The potential, I don't know but I'll keep pushing till I find out. Right now we predict that we are at 200hp at the crank and well over 200 lbs pounds of torque at the crank and we are have I real hard problem finding traction and with torque steer. Remember I use the car for AutoXing mainly and some road racing so those are my goals. I think the horse power is at the limit without some internal work and a good supply of spare transmissions laying around.

What color wire did you tap for your air/fuel guage? Did you go to the oxygen sensor or the computer?

I pretty much did what falkofire posted in his link. I connected to the first O2 sensor on to signal wire, works great.

Thank for the info, My guage is sitting on the green LED just like the pics on this thread. It is the only guage not hooked up. Thanks again.

PseudoRealityX

Your right I'm running EM.

I finally got the car out on the roads for a few hundred miles plus a local Autox. Yahoo! Now I have to much power very very easy to smoke the tires though first, second, and into third gear. And when the water injection kicks in at 6lbs watch out. I've even noticed my EGTs are down about 50 to 100 degrees and I can push it hard as long as I want with out even getting to close to 1200 degrees on the EGT. Where as before about 1 min. at 6lbs of boost wide open on the highway would put me in the danger zone close to 1400 degrees EGT PDQ. Next up convert the rear drums to disc, new beefier TTL and front control arms all from AWR. Oh by the way I'm running a Apexi AFC and it does work no fuel cut, way better throttle response, can modulate the throttle and get real results with just millimeter of travel on the pedal.
