SM105K's Ownership/Performance/Maintenance Thread

Got the PPE catted DP's in and they already make a difference for my set up. I heat wrapped them as well.

Nice man!  Two for one, cooler PTU and more POWA

[SM105K]

It is definitely more interesting to say the least.

I'm looking forward to some Dyno sessions which should easily surpass 400whp! Z

If it doesn't, I will hit it with nitrous....lol.

She will get strapped to the dyno again when it isnt 900 degress out.

Serious question why aren't we spraying these with nitrous?? Especially out of the track set it up and run 3rd and 4th and 5th gear

I think if you have the fuel you should hit it with a very small dry shot. More of a chemical intercooler.

I am a nitrous guy and I understand the compounding boost and a wet nitrous kit, so it doesnt scare me. I just would feel better about it if I have the upgraded hpfp. 

I dont see why more people havent.

Methonal and Nitrous are very compatible.  So something like a tiny nozzle, tap that nitrous nozzle into the throttle body housing in front of the actual throttle but just before it.  Such a small amount should work well ...maybe too well but wouldn't that tiny nozzle with like a Zex safe shot(35) shot be very safe?

It will be however, I would tap it directly post intercooler.  That will give it time to disperse with the boost and will lower the temp in the charge pipe and manifold.

Suppose it doesn't matter then to spray nitrous post intercooler and pre IAT sensor and pre methonal nozzles?

[802SHO]

With such a small amount to spray and since its a dry shot is getting a purge kit necessary and a bottle heater?

[76fomoco]

a purge kit would be a must as the line from the trunk to the motor will have gassed off.
guys at the track do not use bottle heaters but they are packing a second bottle as you can not use all of one bottle due to pressure drop

[SM105K]

Honestly, I would say no to both.  With such a small shot, bottle pressure really isn't a issue.  I always motor purged my nitrous, but if you want the cool factor of a purge then yes. 

[SM105K]

Yes, pre on both.

[802SHO]

Purge your engine?  So I could just spray into the charge pipe to purge....yes a purge kit would be nice but an unnecessary cost if not needed.  Smallest jet included is .017.  That small enough?
