Sean Ivey(iveytune.com) did a little more tuning, played with the timing and vanos and squeezed some more power outta the bone stock S52.
Sean has been the key player in tuning the car for big power, and I failed to mention him in some of the previous posts. My bad, since he really worked all of the bugs out and got the car running like a factory calibration.
I need to add another methanol nozzle because I'm just about out of fuel up top. I now have a M50 intake on the car. I still have a ridiculously small K&N filter that is restricting my boost up top now.

Insane. How much for your manifold?
Keep up the great work.
I'm not making any at the moment, I'm too backlogged at the shop and with my own projects. They are 1300 when I can make them.

thats pretty sweet.

those are great numbers im running the same setup as you but with a BL mani and H/G and studs ill boost 25psi on the gt35 if i can get it from my injectors if not ill put the 65lbrs in....

I'm running 52lb/hr injectors + a significant amount of methanol. Right now my injectors are maxed out. My boost is ~22psi and drops due to the filter restriction. You will need some large injectors to make 600+whp on pump.Originally Posted by ebydrc

i will be running a m16 nozzle which is slightly larger then yours. so that will help i thought about setting up a two stage II but am concerned about losing pressure (any input?) i currently have 42 pound injectors and will install a walbro soon but still looking at other options, dual inlines being more specific. i plan on putting in the 65lbrs shortly after i get the car running but i want to get used to the car abit before opening up for the power.Originally Posted by mike radowski

I have a MKIV supra pump, stock lines and rail, 52lb mopar injectors, and an aeromotive AFPR. Right now i'm running a single m15 methanol nozzle.
With my system, there is no problem teeing additional nozzles to up the flow of methanol. I ran twin M15's in my last car with great results(went through a lot of meth though!) I don't know where you found M16, the 15's are the largest of this style that I know of. I get mine from mcmaster-carr. I was assuming you weren't planning on running a supplimental injection system.

I feel all tingly inside when I notice that you jump from 250whp to 550whp from 65-75mph
M3 Sedan Club President #21
I have a basic question:
You lose 250 ft lbs of torque between trq peak and redline.
You lose over 100 hp between hp peak and redline.
When you drive this, where do you shift for max acceleration?
If you go to redline at each gear, you should be between ~5000-7000.
With your power curve, you must be adjusting that window down...?

i noticed a while back that you were running a supra pump but had trouble finding where to buy, stock pumps i was assuming, i may just do a dual stage setup, how much as far as gallons did you use say in a given week of driving? whats you opinion on inline pumps somthing like walbro inline pumps or a weldon unit??Originally Posted by mike radowski

Absolutely amazing! Congratulations!
Over 600whp on 100% stock s52! Yahoo! The bar just keeps getting raised higher and higher. Do you plan on running larger injectors and trying for more? What about a larger turbo? Maybe a GT40R or 70mm? What psi does the Methanol start getting sprayed at?
Sick numbers mike! Nice to see you pushing the envelope

i think that gt35 has alot left in it plus he can get a larger housing, i dont think he is running out of breath yet.Originally Posted by highboostingm3

I mentioned before the boost is dropping causing the drop in power/torque. Not done tuning yet. I haven't taken the beast on the street at that power level yet. I imagine wheelspin in 5th is a good way to describe it.Originally Posted by gerry_miranda
Just one factory pump, 170 on ebay all the time. A bosch inline with the stock in-tank would be good also. Right now I have a 3 gallon methanol tank. Methanol consumption varies greatly depending on driving habits.Originally Posted by ebydrc

assuming you drove very hard for a three hours period how much would you use do you think?. would you run the stock fuel pump and then the inline to act as a sort of fuel assist?????

I already have a t4 manifold and a .82a/r housing. The turbo isn't holding anything back. It's just starting to wake up now. I will keep the 52lbers and just add more meth. I normally have the methanol ramping up around 10psi. Right now it's coming on earlier, I need to change it.Originally Posted by highboostingm3

im assuming that you let your aem ems control the meth injection. does that mean you dont run any boost switch and solieniod?
david
I'm assuming you're talking about two separate things.Originally Posted by ebydrc
I never drive in boost for 3 hours straight, so I couldn't tell you. I think my car would be dead, lol.
You shouldn't have a problem using the stock in-tank as a feeder pump for a larger inline.
I could, but right now its completely separate. A progressive controller and pump from alkycontrol.comOriginally Posted by ebydrc

yes i was sorry. im trying to get an idea i ordered a 1gallon tank and will order one more i think and tee them together but im concerned about how run that would last me, drive to dinner and home and not have to worry about running out.Originally Posted by mike radowski

Oh you should be fine. I wanted it to last sveral tankfulls of normal driving. Obviously on a drag day or lots of high boost driving you will eat it up pretty good. It progressively ramps the amount based on your map sensor signal. Twin m15 nozzles will also up the consumption.

and when you use your aem ems to control the injection you wouldnt need a boost switch or any solioniods or anything like that correct?
david
congratz !!!! nice numbers, and vids?
