I would also like some opinions on this same kit as I am just about to buy one! Can't decide between this or the Coolingmist GS PRO.

They both have plusses and minuses, but the Snow Performance controller just looks so much better :P

Is anyone else using one?

I've got my settings at 30-65 IDC and 8-14 psi and was wondering what others were using?

Also has anyone tried passing emissions with a WMI kit fitted?

I would imagine that it would actually give you a better result with an emissions test??

mine is an older kit but its set to start at 8 and flat out at 20. it was also fully operational when i passed the nsw emissions testing.

you will likely find the car never sees 8 Psi while they are testing.

Guys what size tanks are you running and how long do they last?

I'm about to order a stage 3 kit and you can get a option for a bigger tank just dunno wether it's necessary.

Sorry for the hijack.

i am running the large snow performance tank, 9.5L capacity.

How long a tank lasts? months, too long to remember fill dates.

I have the 2.8 Ltre tank and for normal highway miles I can do 2000km on a long weekend and am lucky to use 1/2 a litre.

I am usually sitting on 100-120km/h with overtaking and accelerating etc, the normal stuff. So unless you are racing all the time the small tank is heaps. I didn't need 10 litres sloshing around when I couldn't use it.

but the Snow Performance controller just looks so much better :P

Have a look at how I mounted mine in the ash tray recess:

No cutting or anything, pretty much a straight fit with some small brackets to hold it there.

Pretty good read which covers installation and results.

It's for a BMW but still worth looking over

the last snow WMI kit we had through was on a late model BMW M5.... 304rwkw without 348rwkw with it turned on and setup via injector duty (no ecu tune changes) cant complain.

Trent would it still be considered "unsafe" on an unopened engine (25) over 300+ kw using WMI? From my limited understanding it has similar effect in regards to knock and temps etc to e85.

I have just installed a 2835 pro s which as we all know will net me around 280 but I'm a little worried about pushing much more out of the stock bottom end.

What sort of gains would you expect on an rb25 with a ~250kw turbo that has maxed its capabilities out (eg hot intake air), would it let you run much more ignition timing to make a difference?

Rolls I'd think that you would get an extra 30rwkw out of it.

On the forums they say that 93 octane with 50/50 wmi is 116 octane. Its not what I say, but is quoted on the forums again and again.

So what would your motor do with a cooler combustion chamber and 116 octane fuel?

I remember seeing a really good graphical plot on the differences between no wmi, 50/50 wmi and 100% meth. I'll see if I can find it, but it was a while ago.

In the meantime is you look at:

http://www.snowperformance.net/forum/

and

http://www.aquamist.co.uk/vbulletin/index.php

you will get a good idea of the benefits. There are others as well, but these pretty much cover it all.

Do you get the same benefits combining water/meth with E85 as you do with 98 octane? Or is there sort of an octane limit where the increased knock resistance doesn't help you extract any more power?

Thanks for the answers anyway, I might look into it in the future.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
