  • direct port is done :(

    well..i've pretty much done all i can do with this within the amount of $$$ i am willing to spend on it..i was at Z1 last night..and we started checkin out the car..we wanted to make SURE the new bolts i had would replace the studs..we started getting into it and realized that the map sensor clearance issue was actually NOT solved..then we ended up using two different methods to attempt to remove the studs..we ended up snapping 2 before i pulled the plug on this..i no longer feel comfortable installing this kit in my car..so..im doin what i gotta do..i already have the parts for a dual fogger kit set up..and the NOSzle parts are on ebay now..i was close..but its really WAY more involved than i thought it would be..so..thats that

    That's a shame man, but it's never easy being the pioneer in these kinds of things, and it does cost you a whole lotta money so I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to tear up my car to make it work either. Just go with a wet kit and be done with it, it's simplier and very effective!

      yeah..i mean im disapointed because sure..part of it was trying to be a poineer..but at the same time..i dont think theres going to be THAT much of a performance difference..my goal is 12s..and everyone here whos run 12s with nitrous has done it on a fogger setup..i probably COULD do it..but its gotten to the point where its just not worth it to me anymore..we could pull the engine to deal with the studs/fuel rail..create some sort of custom fuel rail to deal with clearance..but..f*ck that..thats not worth it to me..i'll just run the dual fogger..be done with it like you said..i'll have the window switch to minimize backfires..it'll be cool

        you really need to pull the lower intake off and fix that. Anything good isnt easy or cheap. Even if it takes a little more time and costs a little bit more, it'll be worth it. Grow some balls and finish it! [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img] ;)

          Unfortunately the fine line between having balls, n being practical is easily blurred. The go-get it attitude is great, but not if it compromises your car.

              Maybe you should research it a bit more before you go out and buy everything... well for the next project..

                Ohh well.. but like said earlier pioneering things gets expensive.

                thats why they say when you work on your car, take half what you expect to spend and add it on top of your original number and thats what it will cost.

                  Which for shenanigans the formula looks like this......


                  $0 + $0/2 = $0

                  This higher math stuff is really complicated!

                    hahaha...ahhhh its ok..im a little dissapointed but..knowing me..im sure i'll think of something just as crazy down the line..i liked the idea of being a pioneer in something..for those that helped me throughout this..thank you..dont think it was a waste..i learned a LOT more about tuning and nitrous than i already did..and that will help me a lot in the future and with my fogger setup..its really been a great try..and people can say whatever they want about it..and its been pretty stressful..so for now..i wanna enjoy some juice!

                      Finish a damn project man! every time you start to hit problems you seem to change your mind. beleive me you arent having any more trouple than i am with my turbos. I know it sucks to hit major problems but just stand back look at the problem and find the solution. good luck with whatever you decide.

                        You need to focus on one thing!

                        I have recommended shops to you.... they would do it right.... the first time.

                        Oh well.
