Congrats! Make sure you check the oil level & intercooler coolant once a month with the rear end jacked up so the charger is level with the ground.

Does any one run WMI, Water meth injection with the sprintex?

If you do I assume that you are injecting at the throttle body.

Could you give me an outline of your setup.
Nozzle Size
Size of tank
Mix ratio of water to meth
How many miles you get before the WMI is empty.
When the meth starts to inject.

There's a chap in the UK running water injection. I think fitted by Abbey Motorsports.

for those of you with the kit without the intercooler.. are there any issues with temps? ive heard a mixture of reviews on both kits.. hard to say if the intercooler kit is worth it. also what kind of digital monitoring systems are you running to monitor boost and oil temps?

I've driven both. I've never tracked so this is purely from a street/daily driver perspective. Mine ran fine without the intercooler as a daily driver, back and forth to work. For track I'd guess you'd definitely need the intercooler but for street, based on my experience, I'd say it's absolutely not required.

Less power on hot days for sure. Seems to me to mostly be dependant on intake air temp. Heatsoak seems to clear up within seconds. But that's the butt dyno talking.
Intercooler required for smaller pulleys and more boost.

[sterny331]

cool thanks for the prompt responses. i was looking at a brz with the 210 kit. has a 10.5 psi pulley (not sure what size that makes it off the top of my head) no intercooler on the vehicle. seems to have been fine for the past 2 years without it. i dont do any track days but i do a lot of spirited street driving. also the monitoring system for boost and oil temps are just through the phone with a obd2 port plug in and a fancy application. kind of a bummer there are not permanent gauges. but those can always be added. just a little weary of the buying process. i dont want to run into finicky problems constantly day in and day out. and from the research of done it can happen. im decently mechanically inclined so im not afraid to dig into it a bit. but it still needs to be a realistic daily driver that im not under the hood every other day.(it will by my only car). so any more input would be great thanks guys. PS ive owned a brz before.. but it was just uel headers, full exhaust, oft and e85.

As long as the supercharger is installed properly and has a good tune the only reason you would need to be under the hood is to check oil level. Which you should do a on weekly basis or so.

E85 helps keep temps down too, considerably.

[sterny331]

im not talking about basic supercharger maintenance. im just talking about stupid little finicky issues and what not. but yea im sure ill run the e85 map all summer and back to 93 in winter if i even drive it much in winter. im just surprised that theres no intercooler and not an indefinite way to monitor everything without plugging your phone in. if it was mine i would want to be monitoring afrs constantly. and oil temps. and boost. because anything can happen at anytime really... and if something happens and u dont have your phone plugged in you could run into some serious problems

[sterny331]

anyways.. has no intercooler, no oil cooler, no catch cans. (i would have at least gone catch cans and oil cooler to stay as safe as possible) also car is on stock clutch... what would u expect to pay for something like this? has full exhaust, headers, intake kit, i guess it makes over 260whp with all of this on e85. not sure what the stock clutch is good to anyway.

I hate to be the pot calling the kettle black, but I wouldn't buy a modified car from someone else, especially not a dealership.

@sterny331 monitoring boost isn't really necessary, neither is AFR monitoring that crucial.

AKA this is not a turbo.
