Thats a big place matey, fancy narrowing it down a tad

Sorry to raise the old thread (didnt want to post in the new one)... Can these meth injection systems be used with non hybrids? Also i cant find kits specific for the skoda/ibiza... only golfs or audis? Gains seem to be good... Wonder if the Garrett or KKK could cope with a certain level of this from standard? With or Without a map. (guess the clutch would still be an issue). This system would aid the standard SMIC to no end surely?

It would yes, what you have to remember is that very little, if no more boost would be ran with the setup just bolted on, so the turbo should cope. But id expect the increase to be small, once mapped around it, the increase in boost as things run colder and burn better would see even better gains

Looks like a very tidy install mate.

Yeah Alfie was a perfectionist, he was annoyed he never had any black tie wraps lol.

Sorry to rain on your parade but how the hell can anyone call an install done with a fist full of cable ties (that are not even cut off flush) as tidy, :confused:

If you need to know what a tidy install actually looks like than look at the photo's of Alex's install - now that is done nice.

No rain here?

Just for your info I have re-done them. Dont want your pretty little hands getting cut.....

Someone who is looking at it not from a "ohh doesnt it look pretty lets show it off at the next silly show and shine" but looking at it from it was done right as it works perhaps? Believe it or not, half my car is held together by my bestest friend the cable tie

Sorry but cable tying to the strut brace and washer bottle is just laziness, i don't go in for the show look either, but if something is worth doing then FFS do it properly (this is no dig at the OP as he paid for the install - but i for one would not of been happy with the install)

Anything i add to a car looks very OEM, this way it almost goes unnoticed, so certainly isn't done to 'look nice' just right.

This says more for your standards than what is the correct way of doing something.

Dare i ask the dreaded question of insurance... what sort of impact does this have? Guess you cant prove the BHP gain without RR's so would it be under a similar category to exhaust/suspension/intercooler 8-). Im sure it wont. But would be interesting to see if people have declared it.

After I did the elephant hose mod (see guide) I used the OEM connector and epoxied in the pre-turbo fitting. The venturi effect of the air going past probably draws the vapour right along with it and it doesnt require more than taking a hacksaw to the OEM hose and leaving the epoxy to sit for a few hours. Clicks in and stays put just fine....

Sorry but cable tying to the strut brace and washer bottle is just laziness,

Ok, you tell me where I am meant to run the water/meth hoses and MAF wire? without being on show or with the use of zip ties

The favorite place for me would be behind the wiper bulkhead (not sure if it is accessible on the Fabia?) or failing that run it parallel with the rest of the pipes that run along the bulkhead.

It doesn't have to be hidden to look OE. cable ties are fine providing they are done neatly (as in black ties on black pipes and most importantly trimmed flush) or better still black bulkhead clips.

If/when you remove the strut brace to do other work the pipe will currently be in the way, proving the location was not thought out very well.

An example would be when i fitted the PDC sensors on my old Octavia, i ran the front sensor wires in the OE trunking with the rest of the loom, there was nothing extra on show other than the sensors themselves.

So behind the scuttle pannel and cut holes? Very OE once I remove the kit eh.

Where as zip ties can be cut and wires removed.

The strut brace was the best place as it keeps the hose out of the way and from kinking. The hoses can be removed by the release clips in the injectors and then free to be moved with the strut brace

Stop being a smart ar$e or I shall come and zip tie you up personally

Just don't forget to cut the ends flush, we wouldn't want to upset anyone on this forum...

Err hang on a minute fella, youve just gone back on yourself in a mere two posts? So I use cable ties, means my standards are low, yet cable ties are fine? If it makes you sleep better at night the cable ties I have used where black ties, that go neatly with black... I like a pikey mod just as much as the next person, infact no doubt more, but if my standards where as low as you suggest, then I doubt my car would have lasted with its performance figures. So I am taking that as a personal insult to be frank.

lmao!!

Not at all, cable ties have there use (the clue is in their name), but they are not a fast fix excuse for bodging anything together,

if you re read my post i actually quote:

Meaning if half of your car is indeed held together with cable ties (a slight exaggeration i assume) then your standards are obviously 'that'll do'

So I am taking that as a personal insult to be frank.

Take it how you like, i speak my mind, i have seen many (clubman) rally cars that are 'prepared' by your quoted standard and IMO it is just wrong.

It plain to see that we will never agree on this as our idea of what is the right and wrong way differ, so feel free to go ahead and do it with cable ties, i hope you don't mind if i carry on doing it properly though?

Nothing more to add.

Proving that they work.

I dont drive with my bonnet open so who gives a fack?

My engine bay isnt meant to look pretty, I'm not that sad tbh.

Now back to the meth kit...............

Looks as though im in bother then

The ghetto boost hose mod would get me uber pikey mod points.

White ties on black pipes and holding something in thats starting to wear out.

Then again, you can only see it if you look past the alarm siren or pull the blanking plates out of the front bumper

Great stuff, ok bye bye :P

A bump Foe xaosx

Lots of decent info in here.

For anyone that has had it fitted... Few questions:

What size nozzles did you have (before turbo, and after turbo)?

Did you have a map adjustment afterwards? How did you know it did/didn't need an adjustment?

Where did you place your nozzles? How do you know where you put them is the best place?

Where do you get your Methanol?

What PSI do you have it kick in at? How did you know this was right?

Lastly... Is anyone selling their kit before I order?

Thanks!

mines was right into my inlet manifold

you can just see it here

pump

Jase that engine bay looks far to confusing :S im lost lol
