You might want to consider a J&S safeguard or Vampire knock control system. These systems will help prevent detination at high boost and RPM. It is small price to pay to protect your investment. Here is a link. The owner's name is John. Let him know you heard about it from Jeff.

Nice setup so far.. I would go with a water/alcohol injection kit, ditch your current injector setup, move back to stock primaries and run the ID2000 secondaries..

You don't have an intercooler listed in your mods, but your picture looks like a FMIC..?

i'm wanting to do some SCCA road racing and they don't allow meth injection i'll look into the setup you posted after work, it's blocked by work's filters. yes it has a massive FMIC, but i can't find any markings on it as to who makes it. here's a couple decent pics of it. it's as tall and wider than the radiator, and about twice as thick :P

after rereading through the rulebook, i can do water injection but it doesn't specify for meth injection. being that it's a fuel I'll either need to have the tank in the engine bay (yay fire hazard!!) or fabricate a firewall between the seats and the back hatch, which isn't hard but a little extra weight added up high :P I'll look into it and see what i can do and look into your fuel system tonight.

my avatar is the engine as it is right now, they're waiting on the trans to be done being rebuilt. Banzai (banzai-racing.com) is rebuilding it and i asked them to have the local shop do the trans too. the shop said it would be 2300 in parts alone (destroyed synchros) so i scored a 97 jdm off of ebay for 150 and the rebuild will be just shy of a grand. once the trans is done it'll all be installed and banzai will send me the pics. i'm in the sandbox so it's nice that they keep me updated with a webpage soley devoted to my car's build
