New toy to check out

For those with the unhealthy neverending appetite for more power..WWW.SNOWPERFORMANCE.NET and check out the Boost Coolers and Max-Boost Coolers.This is mainly for those who want to pump up the Turbo Boost and not grenade the fine machinery they have.Though it has its bennies for the stockers....go see and let the debate rip!!

Might be worth looking at when we can actually turn up the boost. Gotta wait for the stage kit.

I bought the following--
  • 20010 gas stage 2
  • 40225 225ml/min nozzle
  • 40375 375ml/min nozzle
  • 60031 variable controller
  • 70004 wire harness assy
  • 40080 bulkhead
  • 40130 steel bung

The 2 nozzles are to get me going with my current setup, and allow me to swap in the bigger one when I move to a bigger wheel.

I did a delete on the 3qt tank as I'm going to plumb into the factory washer tank. That way I don't have to fill it up all the time. The bung is to weld into hard pipes once I get those in hand.

(Pictures are from my craptastic camphone. So, I did a q&d on the dark areas so they'd be easier to see.)







The 2 silver allen screw heads on the firewall are what mount the pump on the back side, underneath the black plastic cowl cover. There are actually 4 screws, but the top 2 are tucked up high so you don't see them at this angle.



The black flex loom going through the grommet on the left side of the firewall is covering the feed line coming from the washer reservoir and going to the pump inlet.



At my current rate of progress, I'll have it installed in December, 2012, just in time for the end of the Mayan calendar... and the end of the world.

What sort of gains are you expecting to see without being able to up the boost? Does it just cool the charge and allow you to add more timing?

I had to use a boost cooler (water/methanol injection) on my Vibe b/c I was running a CAI with the supercharger which could possibly cause detonation (pinging).

Yes, cools sharge and allows more timing. With the largely stock setup, I'm just trying to get to the "93 octane" performance level with our craptastic 91 octane California fuel... once I go big wheel, I'll expect more.

Fixed. Just thought I'd rub in some salt.
