What gains could you expect if you specifically tuned for the meth using this system? What I said and I stressed.........the differences will be greater on a poorly tuned car or a car with no tune the cars that were pre-meth were highly tuned for hrs on the dyno so the gains will be smaller. The gains are noteworthy as they are repeatable all day long. It's not about just making power for 1 run, its about making power to finish out the track day:wink: |
So 12 hp with a specific meth tune is the answer D-Man, on that Dynapac in Florida.
So was it only making 240 because of the ambient temps? |

you don't follow along well do you?:sly:
1. Have a decent tune ie RMW or other and run this system without a specific meth tune and 2.Have a specific RMW meth tune and run this sytem I would have thought that these are the two most important questions to prospective buyers of your kit.... |

You have no idea how or why we tune the car the way we do....... there is a reason behind it.... the thing is:::: You buy your own kit you have to figure it out yourself |

The 12hp gain is on a highly tuned RMW car before meth, it is the additional hp after Meth and Re-tune There has not been any that went from no tune to meth without tune, nor no tune to meth with tune. But the idea is, if you can get 12hp on a highly tuned car, you can get even more on what that isn't. Make sense this time? |

All I wanted to know is what gains you can expect from the system and NO METH TUNE.

What I was trying to figure out was if there are substantial gains to be seen with an Aquamist kit over the other kits. If the gains were more than what I am seeing with my tuned kit I would be more than happy to convert to an Aquamist kit Don't worry Jan I won't ask anymore questions.... It does seem that you are the first to scrutinise other vendors products and when someone asks valid questions of your products you reply with question of your own... Good luck with your kit :nod: |

If you already have a car that is optimally tuned and you add meth without a tune - I doubt you would see any substantial gains (but I could be wrong) Where you will see gains from meth without a specific meth tune is when your car is not properly tuned in the first place ie no custom tune and heaps of mods.... |

Why did I think there was a RMW car in Florida with a meth kit on it? memory is obviously going.........
So I now get it, both these dynos graphs are Jeff aka Big Howe's then https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-meth-meth.jpg https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...wertondyno.jpg |

Good luck with your kit :nod: For most kits sold thus far, all of the cars have been 240whp+ cars. These owners obviously did not install this kit to just leave it, we installed it and immediately re-tuned the cars. Each owner is consulted about their wants, along with the cars mods, and are weighed before the kit is setup and it is re-tuned. As for the dyno graph in question at the beginning of this thread, and its tune, the mid-range was modified but the top end left basically untouched. The way we tune, and what we are trying to represent to our customers, is the realistic and safe gains available for their cars. We are are not trying to tune for a "glory" number to post on the forum. |

There was close to 50 runs and that was the best they ever got on that dyno. There was another file of a Mini on the dyno that showed 130 something ft lbs of torque. The dyno is notorious for reading lower.........HOW MANY M45 Supercharged MINI's HAVE YOU SEEN BREAK 200ft lbs of torque @ the wheels on a DYNOJET WITHOUT NITROUS and twincharging? Dyno was done in 80deg Florida weather:thumbsup: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...1&d=1232292193 For comparison sake, here is a the dyno you hold in high esteem. Considering the baseline of the stock car was at 169.47WHP for a BONE STOCK CAR............ I think you can appreciate what has been accomplished:wink: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...1&d=1232292584 |

Again - as has been said one way or another but perhaps bears repeating - *most* of the point of this mod is to enable sustained and repeatable high performance - which might be evident over many back to back dyno runs, but more likely over a day of track sessions or hard driving in the twisties - but wouldn't necessarily be reflected in a big boost of the dyno numbers.... In other words, wouldn't it be great if your car *always* ran like it did during that 10 seconds when you got your best dyno sheet with a relatively cool engine with people spraying water on your IC and the bonnet open and big fans blowing on it and 15 minutes of cool down time since the last run?
While some gains will *just happen* on the dyno as a result of the ECU adapting to the cooler air (especially on stock ECU maps), and while a car can certainly be tuned to take advantage of both cooler air and a bit higher octane if you want to assume that you'll always have meth available, the best measurement would probably be lap times in the afternoon on a 90degF+ day, compared to how the car ran in your first session when it was cool... on a track you've already mastered... Am I learning? Or am I missing it again? |

Am I learning? Or am I missing it again? this is why it is even MORE important to get a kit that sprays properly through all engine loads instead of a wide open kit.............. here is a picture that might explain to some what I am getting at. this was taken from another website showing the coolingmist system https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...1&d=1232294695 |
So Jeff aka big howe car has always made high 230s low 240s without the meth and 253 to 259 with the meth on.
Have you got a non meth plot for the one in Florida? |

Here is a noob question, not even sure if it can be answered. How long, lets say 2 gallons of mix, would last typically, on a street driven, tooling around town, driven mildly hard at 95 degrees? Is there anyway to know this?

All of the dynos come from Churches, but all you can really compare is dyno runs from the same day. At times, my car has been stronger than what I have ever posted on the forum. So interpret it any way you want, there's much more to the story than comparing various dyno graphs indiscriminately. The bottom line is the dyno plot in this thread is deltas from the same day, but an overall different setup from previous sessions. P.S. Being a vendor/competitor to RMW I wouldn't think Jan is eager to answer your questions and post information for your use. |

There are many variables like jet size, duty cycle settings and how much it's on Should last 1-2 tanks of gas on normal settings |

Yea I knew it was an open ended question :nod: But thanks for the answer :nod: One more noob question though :lol:, how much does a 50-50 mix cost, say down in So Cal? Per gallon?

I'm pretty clear on the basics of meth injection, but tuning the car for meth is a whole 'nother ball game...
...one point i'm not entirely clear on and forgive me if I missed it in this thread... if the car is "tuned" for meth... 1) How does it run when not using the meth? 2) Are the A/F ratios where they should be? 3) What if you're on the track(or dyno) and you run out in the middle of the run? I can see if the car is tuned for the hard parts as they are not going anywhere, but actually tuning the car for something that you're not using 100% of the time makes me wonder how that will work. BTW, sometimes I miss the obvious...so be nice.:grin: |
