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.

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.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
