BigTDogg MA Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Neil FTW Fixed not really sure you can apply "sleeper" to a LGT. its built to be quick so people already expect it to be quick. now maybe if you had a stealth FMIC and 2.5i hood maybe. I forgot I quoted this, but everyone already set you straight, LOL. The LGT looks like every other Legacy to the untrained (read, car-person) eye. This would be a redonk sleeper if it were a wagon, but still a sleeper nonetheless. Not even tinted windows! Impressive. New and I have no issues or complaints about the fitment. Has been on the car since July - Made it through this winter with no rust so far! As you may or may not know, Borlas have a million mile warranty. Alberto is a fantastic mech. Glad he's in our area. I'm dropping my whip off there tonight. I'll be getting her back Monday, a transformed gal. What are you using for meth? I run Boost Juice in my Z32 and it's great stuff. It has the most meth you can ship without a hazmat cert. Oh, and spraying before the turbo? Who's idea was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robitrice Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 bigt i am curious about the pre turbo sparaying as well, i have not heard or seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 12, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 12, 2013 there's a lot of information about it if you google... Alberto is doing it too and we both saw results on the dyno. Smaller nozzle up front, after the MAF but in plenty of time to fully atomize. We have done a lot of research AND spoke to AMR about it. You can damage the Turbo if the fuel doesn't atomize properly but there's some mad setups out there including people who have no need to use an intercooler... http://www.alcoholinjectionsystems.com/a40/Where-Do-I-Position-My-Water-Methanol-Injection-Nozzles/article_info.html lots of articles out there with all the horror stories too...

robitrice Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 how is yours setup? A nozzle in the inlet or on the actualy turbo housing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 12, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 12, 2013 Well downstream from the turbo just up from the MAF - no risk to pool water if it leaks or to damage the MAF- plenty of space to fully atomize the 85% meth before it goes into compressor.

BigTDogg MA Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) I have NO idea what this was trying to tell me. if anything it slowed me down trying to work it out. http://www.sigmafour.net/build/IMG_0422.jpg Seems pretty clear to me, just showing you how to bolt and ground the brackets. Any shots of your double DIN with the lights on (not in the dark). The single DIN and the pocket is a great move, but it looks like you have a single DIN EQ in there? Are you running a safe boost system with the AEM? In that if your pump fails or you run out of meth it triggers the ECU or runs open wastegate? BTW, I have the exact same soldering station. Thing is awesome. It's amazing what good tools can do. Edited April 13, 2013 by BigTDogg (MA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted April 13, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) It was just a joke BigT - just that it's all in Japanese. I am not an idiot. Actually that can be debated... I am planning to install a double din at some point but I use a 1/2 din EQ on my headunit and the whole thing used to be installed in the cubby. The only reason I haven't installed the double din headunit yet is two fold... I can't decide on what would work for me and the existing setup works and sounds amazing. As you will see as I complete posting the pictures is I installed a failsafe gauge for monitoring the meth flow - which is having issues, and after speaking with the designer of the system from AEM can be intermittently fixed. I am not sure yet if any components need to go back but it's the flow sensor where the issue is happening. - UPDATE 2015: I finally fixed the flow sensor after nearly wrecking a second one. I was not using enough distilled water, I went for an 80% mix and this dries out the sensor. With 50/50 mix I still got the same numbers and the flow sensor no longer fails. Good tools are critical... I have bought cheaper, I regret it every time. http://www.sigmafour.net/build/IMG_1213.jpg http://www.sigmafour.net/build/IMG_1126.jpg Edited January 11, 2016 by sigmafour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTDogg MA Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 It was a joke BigT - just that it's all in Japanese. I am not an idiot. Actually that can be debated. Interwebs sarcasm can be difficult at times... after seeing how proper you routed and installed the AEM I should have realized it was a joke I am planning to install a double din at some point but I use a 1/2 din EQ on my headunit and the whole thing used to be installed in the cubby. The only reason I haven't installed the double din headunit yet is two fold... I can't decide on what would work for me and the existing setup works and sounds amazing. Good tools are critical... I have bought cheaper, I regret it every time. Very nice, I've got an older Alpine with an analog EQ in my Z32, great stuff. If you could find a 1/2 DIN pocket that would be amazing, dunno how available they are though. I had an old Radio Shack soldering iron for the last 12 or so years, just got the Weller a couple of weeks ago. Amazing the difference it made. I still have the RS one if I want to poke holes in fabric or something Off to look at the rest of the pretty pictures now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
