Default Watermeth + stock compression? see what happens inside





50/50 watermeth





i got rejected last week when i went to get a retune it seem that my walbro was failing D: (paid for half an hour of dyno time for them to tell me to go home.. haha) it would drop serious fuel pressure under boost, replaced the FP and went back today

The vid does not do justice for the sound the cell phone can only pick up so much lol.

I do always get compliments on how the turbo sounds while I'm at the dyno though i love the bw turbos

I've always wondered why more people here didn't try running water / meth on stock compression. I understand it's more risky with this type of setup if something fails or clogs but it is definitely a great option for people without e85 readily available.

What kind of timing do you run and how much knock? 14psi doesn't seem like much but with 10:1 compression its a good amount!

Was the injectors pretty close to being maxed out?

He should still have a bit more room to go on those injectors.
If anything, he bought himself some extra room with the W/MI

I'm interested in how the turbo spooled quicker. I guess the timing had alot more room to play with after W/MI. Any idea on how much timing he added?

I didn't look over the tune myself while the guy was tuning it but I asked about it when he was done said it was very conservative and safe asked me if I wanted to go alil more but I said thats enough for now. I can check the injector duty cycle n stuff some other day when its not pouring rain outside

Yea I was looking at why it came on alil sooner as well but I didn't see that till after i left. The red line on the graph was no meth and boost controller off at 9psi

Is it an EBC or MBC? I'm wondering if the boost controller had a role in spooling faster with it on.
