The M90 should retain 10psi up to about 14000 rpm. I'm spinning it about 11000 max.

yeah I guess I'll have to take apart a NOS fogger kit, as my regulator will work but it has a propane FMU attached to the reg.

I'm thinking a NOS solenoid system is better option for the propane injection. I have several 85lb Forklift tanks and a tiny 15lb BBQ tank that will fit perfectly in the trunk.

I'm just daily driving the car right now. I only lost 1-2 mpg from the supercharger drag. As with a lot of other people who work in the auto industry my paychecks are a little lacking right now. All my deadlines are going to get stretched on this project unless something happens soon.

This is great news daily driven and still no catastrophic failures ! Really excited bout this would you be willing to release a round about price for how much the kit cost. Not necessarily the one you'll sell just how much you have invested right now.

If you do this Chuck, I am back in the crossfire game, so long mazdaspeed 3. All I have wanted was a 300whp 6 speed crossfire. And we know the tranny can handle it, thanks to HDDP, and the engine should have no problem, these motors are touch as nails, iron nails. Great work man, the veteran is back in the game baby!!!!! I know you kids are excited to see me around here again, lol.

Chuck, out of curiosity, will these "always" be available?? Or once the group buy is over with.. you are not going to make them anymore?? The reason why I ask is that I am going to get my laptop prepared to be sold to buy this kit!!

On October 10th my dept at work was cut. Luckily I found a new job today. So my target deadlines are definately being delayed. On the bright side I've worked out most of the problems I was having. I can tell you the tuning problems that others have stated but never elaborated on deal mostly with the map and maf sensors. I've managed to trick the computer in most situations but every now and than I will hit fuel cut. The computer is programmed to safeguard the engine if it detects unusual readings from a combination of the throttle position, maf, and map readings. I have a program that may be able to bring up the fuel maps in an excel type spredsheet and be able to reflash the ROM through a usb/obdII cable. The only problem is I'm afraid to try it since I'm depending on the car as a daily driver. The other option I'm considering is Mega Squirt. The only mods I have done lately is I switched to NGK plugs gapped at .030 and I put a muffler back on the car since I have a 45 minute drive to work now.

The mega quirt is a good DIY job. Let me know if you need any help with it. It's worlds cheaper than any other and you are getting pretty much the same thing for what you'd be using it for. Good luck and sorry toe hear about your previous position but glad to hear you found something as soon as you did. Hopefully it is as good as your previous or somewhat close as this economy is a dump right now.

Good to see a new post from you.

If my memory serves me correctly, the SRT 6 has its IAT sensor located post supercharger opposed to our MAF/IAT combo sensor. If thats correct I'd like to install a SRT IAT sensor into my manifold to get a more accurate reading to the ECU. Anyone know the best place to buy one?

I hope to keep the kit available for at least a year or more depending on the demand.

If anyone here is interessted I have the German low boost installation manual that I sent to Chuck, and various other manuals, but it has to be burned to CD since I'm unable to post such a large file, nor can my email handle it either.. I figure $8 should cover the cost of a CD and my time burning and shipping it to you...

just PM me ...

I just completed several runs with meth injection running 10psi with no fuel cut! Only thing slowing the car down is the drive by wire closes the throttle between shifts. Maybe TVT knows if this can be programmed out of the ecu.

I hope to have it on the local 1/8 mile track soon. There is a 1/4 mile strip about an hours drive from me that I need to check the track schedule. I'm getting closer to starting a production version. Working out all the tuning details is priority one right now.

Nope, when the ecu partially shuts the butterfly valve when the transmission is shifting (it closes the throttle partially to achieve 0 vacuum during the shift) it dosen't slam shut from that. And thats wide open throttle to probably 1/4 throttle.

1.What are you looking at for retail on a kit?

2.Does this require you to lose the airbox? I just bought a Renntech CF airbox with all the carbon fiber tubes and hardware and would hate to lose that.

thanks
