I'm looking for a place to get a methanol kit and part number for colder spark plugs (like either 2 or 3 stages colder) Can you point me in the right direction?

right now im running a coolingmist water meth kit u can check out there website http://www.coolingmist.com/
it comes with a boost switch so you can set when to start injecting the water, and i read on the pro shot fogger post that this ngk plug part#ngk r5671a-9 is 2 steps colder than stock

[HtownTurboBrick]

NGK BKR7E part number 5791 at most auto parts stores.

To my understanding with meth/water injection you may actually want to run a hotter plug. Methanol injection should allow you to do this with out adverse effects because it will cool things down obviously.

1-step colder plugs Id say for track use ONLY. You say 2-3 ranges? why?

on one of my volvos i can run water meth with 15ps and i still use stock plugs, i just gap em down to .024

I was told that running the kinda boost I am now and more once I get my methanol kit, I would want to go with colder plugs.... Looking for 25psi if not a bit more 28psi

You should make more power with hotter plugs, I believe.

Hey before you go to 28 psi on that pea shooter, why don't you try a real turbo?

if your engine is producing a lot of heat, and you run to hot of plugs it will lead to detonation, but the cold ones fowl out faster, and will require more attention, so basically you need to figure out the right plug for the job, basically hot engine=cold plug, and cold engine= hot plug.... basically

Well ... methanol cools your engine down ... Thats the idea behind being able to run a hotter plug. Is the methanol injection does its thing.

If all goes well, the KKK24 is in the works!

[Account_Deleted_T5M]

k24 isn't a real turbo its still a pea shooter

[550]

a K24 is a big turbo... for a stock engine. BUt a k24 is NOT that much bigger than a 19t. And even that being said, no one can really prove that the K24 is bigger than the 19t. It is all just theory from what I can tell as the wheels on the K24 are much larger, but also of a different design (Reminds me of a garret).


I'm talking gt30r status here. Or 50 - 55 trim turbos.

Well right now I'm almost a 60 trim.... 58-59 trim and we sent out a kkk 24 and now its almost a 70 trim with the upgraded compressor wheel so I'm wanting to know what kinda numbers that will post

[550]

What was the k24 upgraded with?

The K24 will out flow a 19T anyday! Just look at the comparo that Spanky did in size between the 19T wheels vs the K24 which also has ETT. I found this which is interesting for the K24 guys! http://www.streetfir...urbo_199778.htm

I would agree with that, I just wish there where some flow numbers out there.

I am very interested to find out what you did and how much the shop charged. Im all ready to do an upgrade with the k24 i have sitting here.

But by how much? I mean, really you cant just say that because the wheel is bigger it WILL flow more.

Well look at the bright side of that vid, a K24 can get 308awhp and 364trq to the ground. That would easily be 320+whp and even more trq to the ground with a FWD. Im sending my head out to make sure it flows as much as it can to let the engine breath as much as possible.
