hello all...
any experience/thoughts welcome

my 04sti was running 410bhp,thats with a 2.75inch milltek with a sports cat,sc46 on v power...already has all supporting mods like 800cc injectors,fmic,typhoon induction kit..its now getting a full 3inch mongoose decat and a 20% methanol map added...im hoping for better spool mainly and abit more power..anyone had same upgrades carried out?? what can i expect? cheers.

Would be ideal if you told us what displacement engine

2.0/2.1
2.3/2.35

johno01

standard 2.0 sti...have you had these upgrades done in the past?

96sti

I have a classic with a 2.3 and a sc46 900 cc injectors 20% meth. My question was based on other people knowing what displacement you had to be able to help you out more mate

johno01

its a genuine question,looking for genuine answers only please..if theres not much difference in the drive/power delivery with methanol then il go back to just v power.

My 02sti has similar mods and an sc46 on v-power. I changed from a H & S 2.5" turbo back to H & S 3" and it made no difference to bhp but the torque improved 20ftlbs. I believe there are a lot of high power cars still on 2.5 systems. The meths will see the biggest improvement.

johno01

cheers mate..im hoping it makes a decent enough difference...first time trying methanol

Going from sports cat to straight through should make a difference. And a friend's car runs 540 on v-power, 585 on 20% meths. Good luck!

johno01

cheers mate...il post up results when i get car back

96sti

What on a sc46

Paben

iTrader: (5)

Ha, that would be good. No, Gt35 rotated on a 2.1

I had a similar set up on 20% meths and it made 443/428 on 650 injectors, but that was an older pre-billet '46.

Incidentally I have just had that turbo rebuilt and it's going back on a JDM 2 litre, no meth this time though.

What has this got to do with scoobyclinic?.

Ask them to fit the pothole detection system

their work is spot on, had work done, I dont dout their level of skill but prices are way over the top.
My car was having the up pipe replaced, while it was on the ramps and being worked on i asked for the gearbox oil and diff oil to be swapped, £140. be careful on quotations

johno01

yeah they are doing the work, its the first time ive tried them and tbh im going to try all the so called specialists to see who gets my custom...il wait to pick the car up before making a decision on these.

johno01

was there a big difference with and without the meth??

Have you got gt spec headers and up pipe? I have a 04 sti and was told the standard ones will max out around the 400 mark

johno01

yeah gt spec headers on this too...the milltek up pipe that was on it had a sports cat in it so thats now gone for a mongoose 3inch up pipe.

Yeah it's like a drug. It's like pouring 30 to 40 bhp into your fuel tank. If you haven't used it you'll become addicted to the extra power very easily.
A couple of words of caution.
1) Buy your Meth from a reliable source such as Jennychem. Don't be price driven as there are some dodgy products around, and it's a world of pain if you put contaminated methanol in your tank.
2) You've probably done some research, but don't get complacent when handling the stuff. It is nasty stuff. Treat it like battery acid and not like petrol and you'll come to no harm.

Oh one other point, try not to grin too much

As above really

I know lots of friends who use them, you'll be fine.any questions you have always ask Kev first on his opinion.

johno01

cheers fella...i did abit of research on this methanol before and il be sticking with jennychem...they seem to get most peoples vote...yeah will take all precautions with it

johno01

they seem like a good bunch tbh, very friendly...ive got lots of other plans for the car so hoping everything goes sweet..ive asked for a quote on a front end respray too, there sprayer seems like a good guy and by the look of his work i cant go wrong with him doing it...they have some stunning cars for sale.
