Hey tower, how much does the washer reservoir hold? And how is your methanol kit set up? Does it gradually increase fluid as your boost increases or is it just full out all the time?

I would have to say 1 gallon on the tank. After the body mods we are hoping for a little more space up fron the from the Amuse body kit. I've got 2 lights in the center that when it begins to spray both red and green light up. Then a solid green when it's wide open. I've ran three diffrent ways. With methanol, with the 50/50 mix system (bottle of heat and windshield washer fluid) and with out. Don't really see the diffrence when either one is in action. It's only being used to help cool the engine at high boosts.

Yeah we can do that just hit me up. I'm busy up until the 28th or 29th but after that I should be good. I'm think of pulling off the intakes and having them powder coated while I'm out of town and the body kit should be in by the 2nd week of Jan. Hood by Friday so I might be spending a few minutes on Saturday trying to get the new hood installed.
Almost wanting to paint the whole car blue and keep the black rims.

Hey Jamaica how's your builds going on those Z's. Haven't seen anything on FB about them just that y'all were starting them. Also got a question for you. How much HP would I be looking at if installed a 4.2 or 4.5 stroker upgrade? I seen a thread had been started but it turned into a mess after a spoiled kid got on there , then the thread was closed. Just curious.

When my kit comes can I drive it in winter?

tower74

My car runs like a bat out of hell when its cold and it'll run better in the cold. The colder the turbo and/or air that the turbo is taking in the better. You loose HP when the car is hot. It was 28f about 3 days ago and my oil temp never went about 185 (help from oil cooler). Just don't forget to have the water sock on your air filter....or as I do make sure it's on when you know it's going to rain. Kinda sucks parked on the side of the highway puttting it back on because you can see the rain moving in.

What about like super cold minus 30 f lol I live in Canada

tower74

I would say go for it, as long the roads aren't icy.
I am only starting to learn more and more about the whole system but the purpose of the innercooler is to cool down the air. So it being colder than a well diggers ***, which means everything will stay cold. Just don't forget to let your oil temp come up. You don't want to be running it hard with oil that's thick.

Yea it's not like I'm gonna drive it when it's storming out I'm just wondering about boost creep and stuff when it's that cold , I've always to myself not to drive my z in the winter but I can't see my self holding off with 500 whp sitting in the garage lol

tower74

Right. It is kinda hard not to basically live in it. For me, it's the filling up every 3 days that stops that. Hell I've put almost 3000 miles on my car since September and I only put an average over 3000 miles every 6 months.
