I just wondered, b/c I thought about bending hardline off the intake manifold so it looks a little more "professional" than the nylon stuff does.

Yeah I hear ya. But for me I can make the nylon lines look good. I've strung data cable my whole life and organizing 100+ wires is usually a nightmare so 4 should be cake

On another note I was thinking of a way to hide everything and make it look clean. I'm thinking of drilling 4 holes in the firewall symmetrical to the distribution block and then putting the dist block in the wiper well and install the 4 quick fittings in the bay. The same way passman did with his aem map sensor ( he posted it in my build thread )

Seems like I have come across some different type of lines and fittings in some water/meth research that were more durable, resisted higher pressures. As long as its a chemical resistant line it should be good. A threaded collar end would be pretty sweet. Or something similar to small Earl lines/fittings.

Good idea, I saw that, but I am wanting to keep the lines equal, I think I'm going to mount down on the driver side frame rail.

Still up in the air @ this point however.

Has anybody with a flow gauge noticed the lag before the meth kicking on and actual flow? It is pretty rediculous on mine.

Where do you have your tank and pump mounted?

I knew the delay would be a potential issue going in, thats why I have mine "activate" on wastegate, that way it gives it time to start spraying when it really needs it.

Point is, spray early, so when it's actually flowing you are getting it when you really need it, up in the boost range.

My thoughts anyway.

Ahh yeah lol don't need a flow gauge to discover this, its pretty severe. Kind of funny how 2 years ago when I started running the AEM kit and noticed this problem, no one really said or could figure out much about this. Maybe there is just more people running it now This delay is severe enough that you cannot downshift and floor it without running dry for 2-3 sec. From a dig you can compensate by lowering the engagement point so that the injection comes on by the time you get to your desired engagement. But its impossible to tune with accurately, this is why I’m ditching the AEM progressive controller and going with a custom 2 stage. The idea is instant response in any driving scenario, eliminating the pump spool time and using electronic solenoid to open on command injecting instantly wile the pump stays under pressure, that’s the deal.

What happens when you drop a gear on the hwy? Yeah it doesnt work well on an SC. If you have enough turbo lag I supose it could match up ok, but still not ideal. a system that has to let the pump spool up before injecting is a bad deal I have discovered.

If you setup it up properly, the "lag" is no problem. I'd say I pushed mine to the limits and didn't see any issues.

This was with the original kit that was designed years ago too.
