I'm dead set on using a methanol kit to run very high boost (26-30psi I guess) on my setup (been limited to around 16psi so far as race fuel is so expensive here). Probably using the PHR ECU, maybe the AEM if that doesn't work out like I hope it will. I've been thinking about weak points in my current setup.
1) Blow off valve: Currently using a TurboXS Type H-RFL. No problems so far, but I can see it being blown open at high boost, it just sues a spring to hold itself closed. Is there a unit which is proven to work reliably at 30psi? Will I need to switch to using two BOV's?
2) Valve springs: Head is all stock, valve springs have 150k miles on them. Are the intake valves going to get blown open by the boost pressure? I have no plans to raise the rev limit.
3) Clutch: Currently using the Clutchmastsers stage 3 full face kevlar unit. Can anyone tell me what the max bhp/torque handling capacity of this unit is? Anyone used it and "overpowered" it with a high boost, big turbo setup? The car isn't being built for the strip, but I want it to be able to stand up to a few runs a year, probably on street tyres but maybe on Nitto dr's.
4) Ignition: Currently using stock everythin except for magnecor leads and NGK grade 7 copper plugs (one grade cooler than standard). I think it would be worth switching to a colder plug, but is there enough spark energy using the stock setup or does it need looking at?
If anyone has any input on these, or can think of any other issues I might run into, then shout out; your input is much appreciated as always
