went parts shopping

[Monkey]

Decided now that I have 2 jobs and the second is paying fairly well, I'll buy some parts for my car.

Don't have the parts in yet, but here are stock photos

alcohol injection kit (didn't get the tank though)

new electronic boost guage (old one started dying)

Titanium spark plug cover


woot! Can't wait to get the alcohol installed and get tuned. Going for an extra 50whp with that bad boy.

i dont know about that. alcahol/h2o injection itself, doesnt make the power. it cools down the intake charge and helps in knock supression. with that in mind, you can run a little more boost and more agressive timing now that you have better knock supression.

i wouldnt expect 50whp though, especially with awd.

people on the evo boards are going from 22psi on pump to 27ish psi on alky/tune. You can run a lot more boost. It effectivly turns your pump gas into race gas. The evo b16g can run 27-29psi on race gas effeciently. I am expecting 375whp after it and a new tune. I have 330 now.


Tedness -- I just ordered the spark plug cover. That's not my engine. Only pic I found of it on a car.
