Thanks. I'm looking at purchasing a local Stillen kit with upgraded impeller and 10lb pulley. I'm also torn, because I may try a single big turbo. If I go SC, I won't settle for less than 500whp; if I go turbo, then I'll likely go 600whp. Obviously this kit will be necessary to get to 500whp, hence my concern.

just go turbo straight up mate, no point getting the stillen kit and spending all the extra on it, I'd be all over a BP turbo kit if they fit RHD and the stillen kit would be in the bin rofl

Not unless you get a stillen kit for $800 like me.

It if you had an Automatic, which is what he has.

not saying he has to go BP, just saying I would on my car if it was available

by the time he gets the stillen kit and upgrades, going to be at twin turbo $$ if he's thinking of going either makes sense to just turbo straight up

Well, I can lock up the V3 Stillen kit with upgraded impeller, trans cooler, and csf radiator for under $5k. Add the A2A kit, and I can be in the hp range I'm shooting for.

I had a great deal on a brand new Precision ball bearing 6766, which is why I was thinking that route. Still waiting to hear if a local builder can fab up something to work with my auto.

Yeah no probs, if you can get it for $5k thats sweet, but don't go using the upgraded impeller until you go A2A lol, bangggggggggggg

Pauly Z · 03-03-2016, 07:06 AM

Yeah I'm just going with stock impeller and pulley first.

I didn't plan to have anything installed until I had all the pieces, including A2A.

Don't want to be a downer just a heads up to keep an open mind.

I implore you and others to keep my goals grounded. I'm a realist. How many people have had the A2A kit, as well as Aquamist, to attempt the 500 number? It may have been tried unsuccessfully, but I haven't seen it yet. Now, I doubt my butt dyno will know the difference between 500 and 480whp, but everyone knows we only race with dyno sheets.

I had aquamist on my car and it sucked! It always had some thing not working, I don't think it will be needed with a2a but if you are going to run meth I would get a simpler system.

Sounds good. That was just one recommended to me, but probably didn't have the experience with it that you did.

JWillis72 · 03-03-2016, 06:57 PM

My buddy installed a snow system at the same time, his just works mine always had problems. It's great because it's so complex but it's also it problem. After sending mine overseas to be fixed twice I decided it wasn't going back in the car. I only said it so you don't have the headaches I did.

I had the Devils Own meth injection system installed before I went e85 and had 0 problems with it. Have heard good things about the Snow kit as well. There are definitely a few different options if you want to go the meth route.

+1 on getting the simplest meth system possible. All you need is one that increases flow as boost increases.

When I ran meth on my last car, my tuner made it a point to have me always run a 50:50 mix of meth to water. The power difference was negligible, and mixed with water it would no longer ignite if there was a leak somewhere.
