hey man, with the fuel thing, couldn't you retard your timing a couple of degrees so the knock would go away? I mean, unless you have another car, you must be pretty restricted as to where you can go in this state.

 
I have a few cars, definitly dont drive this one everyday. All the suspension is modded as well so its not an OEM smooth ride haha. I think my kidneys would hate me for life if I drove it daily and the v8 seats are quite tight for my fat butt haha im starting to loose weight now just so I can still fit in it lmao. I could retard timing if I wanted too but im about to install a few more things and some major tuning componets like a larger MAF and meth injection so im just going to wait to retune the whole car when I have that and I very well might go with 91 +meth instead of a 93 tune. I have the 12L jdm trunk tank for there stock water sprayer so I wont have to worry about running out of water/meth mix as much as I do now with 93. Plus with the most amazing 93 ive ever seen less than 2 mins from my house at a resonable price for the quality I dont usually need to worry about my 93 unless I take the car for a long drive and the longest ive done so far was about 4.5 hours down to WBM and back with some stops along the way, I top off the tank tho if im trying to go that far and I have a small gas tank I can put in the trunk but I dont usually like having a loose gas tank rumbling around in the trunk.

Nice car but I agree about the rims. My weds sports would look nice on their but theyre not for sale lol. Hope to see you on the drive. Want to get a nice look at that bugeye. Prob one of the nicest ones in the state.

 
Yes I think the guy that owns the gas station is a hot rod guy, I mean if I owned a gas station and a hot rod you better believe id have 93 haha maybe even c16 on tap

we have a good collection of cars that use it for sure I see sup'ed up rides old and new there all the time. its strictly the gas me and a buddie use because we have tested a bunch of places gas in our cars and logged the data... this stuff is seriously amazing and is literally the only reason I didnt tune originally with 91. With the meth I dont think it will be such a issue its just deciding exacally how I want to install it and wither I was to go with a hydra and the hydra mist setup or try my own stand along kit. Also not sure if I want to run direct injection or a single nossle. single is much much easier but direct is a nice option to make sure each cylinder is getting what I want.

 
heh well I went into that a while back as well... and that setup is prob the sillyest thing ive ever seen in my life. I redid all my lines with SS 6AN and billet CnC rails but when I did it I created a loop rather than a split heres a little diagram to explain

Parallel:

0000000000000---(rail1)-----

(car)----<000000000000000>------FPR---return

0000000000000---(rail2)-----

(EDIT: THIS DIAGRAM I CANT GET TO WORK RIGHT PRETEND THERE ARE NO 0's) I can post up my pictures I made when I designed the system but I will have to do so tonight

My setup:

(car)------(rail1)-----(rail2)----FPR----return

with that being put out there and understanding the physics of water flow aka water will take the least path of resistance. So if I split the line prior to getting to the rails im not garenteed im getting the same amount of fuel into 1 rail as the other because the FPR is on the opposite end, as long as it sees the correct pressure in the 1 line after the T from the rails it will say your hunky doory. Whats to say one of my rails/lines wont clog on one side but still produce the correct pressure on the other to read correctly on the FPR (I have a gauge on mine)

with the way I set it up you have 1 flow, 1 route, and the FPR is at the end of this monitoring / creating the pressure it needs in the 1 line. this will garentee im getting the same fuel all the way around. If my FPR senses a drop it will make the corrected compensation and if the single line is clogged well its going to stop the whole bandwagon.

now if you wanted a Paralell setup that would work you would somehow need to make sure that each rail line received the same amount of fuel (this cant be done with just a T line) so you would essentually need like 2-3 FPR's in place to do this. That would add 2-3 faults in your system as well so if any one bit failed and a FPR is a major bit then your SOL. Less faults the better, less splits the better.

Think of it like a drainage system on a house or something say you have pvc pipe under the ground to re route water when you get a heavy rain, you have 1 pipe going to 2 pipes draining in seperate places, if I were to pour water in the single end and then go to each end of the pvc pipe and collect the water that came through would it be 100% identical to the other side? it would not. Simple fluid physics and I think the whole idea of the way people do there fuel is plain silly silly silly. even looking at most aftermarket kits they are done this way as well hence why I made my own kit. Cars been running now sence 2006 so that's almost 6 years of 20+ psi running this setup and ive never had a fuel issue other than keeping 93 in my tank

with that being said, do you have parallel fuel rails?

so with that said I am shying away from the direct injection on meth and that's the reason why. If I put 1 larger nossle it should disperce the meth with the air and follow the air flow, which is more of what I want. It would ensure that depending on each cylinders air intake there is a equal amount of meth intake. inable to do this like I want properly I need to make sure the nossle is at the correct distance from the TB and that it will "mist" the meth correctly which is more of a choice in which nossle I will go with. Right now im aiming at about 6 inches from the TB using a coolingmist nossle, haven't decided on size yet.

 
haha its right across from the new sticker station on main street where the old mobil used to be, he has all kinds of red signs out "WE SELL 93!" right down the road from 7-11 and the bank they just leveled and are rebuilding.

where?!?! I live in this area (Sanford/springvale) and still drive to Wells for my 93 octane

btw, nice car and welcome

Yea I saw you on the member map I think, dont think ive seen your car around tho. I dont drive my wrx often im usually in a 97 legacy L deep maroon red.

 
Welcome from a couple Subaru's down on High street in Sanford. Good to see someone do the correct upgrades to a great car without all the "rice" style crap people put on cars.

 
haha thanks, only rice thing (rims) IMO are changing soon. I think im going to try and chemically remove the blue to its polish and black until I can afford advans
