JB4,DCI,Muffler Delete, E85 mix NOW WHAT??

Randomaccess335 · 08-07-2012, 03:04 PM

I'm in the process of converting my meth to trunk due to possible fires

I'm not worried about disconnecting for dealer visits....... Just disconnect both ends of meth hose/fsb power wire and pull, but I'm sure it will take some time for reinstall
I have a basic WW DO meth kit w/ Stett meth elbow only one bung
I'm using the bms fsb ..... Works great, I meth on temp gauge so I always see the flow rate
I now have a 2.5gal tank for the trunk that has a mount for the pump...... Installing that next week.

I honestly don't know the benefit of spending $800 dollars for a meth kit, I'm sure they are better in some way....... Quality of parts, better/stronger flow maybe, my kit with the fsb feels very smooth and has a lot of additional power.

Just yesterday I pulled a Porsche GT3 badly in 4 straight WOT's....... I could see my meth flowing on the temp gauge and him in my rearview...... It was pretty cool......I know they're track cars But I thought they would be faster.

Maybe research the other kits to see if they're worth the extra money, but I recommend a BMS kit w/fsb
Also to save money you can tap your stock cp, but I would look for a used meth elbow

With the JB4, I see no added value in buying an expensive kit. go with the BMS kit

I would get an FMIC so you aren't over driving your turbos so hard. Then you maybe be able to get a little more boost in. Is this an N55 or an N54? If this is an N54 those numbers are low. Don't know anything about N55.

M3 Eater · 08-07-2012, 05:41 PM

FMIC if you have a steady supply of E85. You can always add meth later if its still not enough.

It's an N54
I think I'm going to go with the FMiC for now and probably run 50/50 mix.
Those #'s where with 35/65 mix.

Just trying to hit the 4xx who mark

Hmmm. What psi are you targeting? Lifted boost limit to 18 psi? Map 5? Which firmware? On a 40-60 mix I think there's still probably some more ponies there.

Get an fmic for sure. If you are good with timing advance and hitting boost limit I wouldn't add more e85 BC it will drive the trims up for little if any gain.

I'm going to get a FMIC since I'm in Florida and its really hot over here.
Not sure if I should buy a brand new ETS 5" for $750 or a 2 month old HPF intercooler with everything for $800

Randomaccess335 · 08-07-2012, 09:16 PM

I went with ets bot both are good choices
Where on s. fl are you?

Which map did you dyno these numbers in ? I pretty much have the same mods plus downpipes I need to install , I took them off when my waterpump took a dump on me last week so it had to be serviced.

MasterWang · 05-30-2013, 12:55 AM

383 whp and 415 wtq on a Dynojet? Mustang Dyno?

dlbrooks18 · 05-30-2013, 08:35 AM

I really don't think you can get to 400 safely without dp's.. Those turbos need to spool freely to make more power.. you will be putting a lot of stress on your turbos without dp's.. ^ yes and what kind of dyno?
