I dont know why people insist on using anti-freeze in the chargecooler. Unless you have to deal with freezing conditions, which im sure the OP dosent then i dont see the point. As i have said in another thread, distilled water and water wetter is a gauranteed method to keep temps down by itself.

Water alone is able to hold more heat and transfer it away from the intercooler better than any other liquid tha would not otherwise be hazardous to engine ops. Why mess with those properties (aside from any corrosion problems) if they can do well on their own.

IF cooling of the intercooler is a problem, i can assure you, either lagging the chargecooler, increasing the size of the chargecooler radiator, or making the chargecooler itself larger, could solve any cooling issues (or maybe a combination of any or all of those methods) up too 350hp at the wheels!!.

Dude, your just ripping on him to rip on him...you obviously didn't read the last few posts suggesting the use of distilled water, not coolant. Making what you just told him to do (put coolant in to avoid beating around the bush) beating around the bush according to what everyone else is saying...

Just sayin

I put in water and then just drained it and put in coolant! didnt help! BUT I DID BUY CARB CLEANER ! I unplugged the hoses from the stock oil catch can thing and sprayed it in both ways getting a hole bunch of gunk out and behold...MY BOOST CONTROLLER GOT 15.7 PSI!!!!!! and I was boosting constant 12 psi!!!...Then it seems it fell back to 8psi again...but It was like having a new car so what do you guys think? I re sprayed it and i got it working for a few minutes again and its back in safe mode it seems...maybe changing that catch can for a real one?

well the car is now at the mechanic and the engine bay lies in pieces...the ct20b was to blame for the oil, infact it was even covered in it.

Oye Neon90424 el auto te lo trajiste desde Iquique???
Saludos

Lo compre de una playa local y me imagino que este lo trajo de chile pero no se que parte de iquique. Vos estas en iquique?

No, estoy en santiago, pero tengo varios amigos y contactos que me traen cosas de iquique.
Yo tengo un coupe con motor 7A que lo importaron desde EEUU, espero hacerle un swap de motor pronto.
Saludos

People, please don't think that only exists projects like this in my country or persons who only make this type of cheap builds... Here we have a lot of type of people who have diferent concepts of how to make a good tune up...

I'm in another city, but in all the country we have excellent projects going on... like a Subaru Impreza STI 2007 and my own GT-Four 1997 which is in process...

I will make a thread of my project soon... so you may see that we do things right here..

And that statement "Cheap Parts Build, South America Style" is false... I would like that Neon talk for himself and not for everyone here in my country or in the Continent...

i'm fine by that its my car i am wrecking in the end and yes there are many high end builds down here and we are not primates...we just lack dynos to prove them.

According to my mechanic the windshield wiper fluid contains ammonia and is extremely corrosive my question is what damage could that cause if it is that bad if i keep running my w.i. with this fluid?

It depends on the brand. Most contain methanol as an antifreeze agent, which is actually a good thing because it raises the octane level.
I ran we fluid in my wi kit for years with no issues, and art (Lagos) has been as well

this one is just regular alcohol with water amonia coloring etc

in warmer climate countries, they are not concern about freezing points as temperatures don't go that low, so their windshield washer fluid is formulate as a glass cleaning liquid, ammonia is the most common cleaning agent in glass cleaning products. ( check the label of windex or any other glass cleaning product you have at home )

If the fluid you are using contains ammonia ( at any level ) you should stop using it, as your mechanic said, it's highly corrosive.

the best you can do is buy methanol and distilled water and mix it yourself ( 50/50 )

meth is almost 2$ per liter make that like 8$ a gallon down here...I was recomended injecting straight alky

straight alky meaning straight alcohol ?

if so, that would be fine as long as you understand the limitations of that.
straight alcohol will increase your octane but it won't do as much to cool down your mixure / combustion chamber. so detonation may still occur at high rpm / psi

what ratio do you recomend for a hot climate?

50 / 50 has been proven to be the best of both worlds, increase your octane and cools down your temperatures, can't go wrong with that, also it depends the size of the nozzle you are using and how many PSIs you are running.

Hi,

methanol i very aggresiv especially to metall and also flameable
but give you the benefit of a increased knock level

if you just want to cool the charged air and exhaust temp. then just use water

Ok the turbo adapter should be done by today and i might get some pics of how the new lung fits in there

Everything is going to come together tomorrow. Mechanic said that the target boost pressure is 20 psi.

What power levels am I looking at here? anyone know how much HP you get from 20 PSI Wat/Meth on a 3sgte with a good free flowing exhaust?
