cincy, reading up on the water/meth injection stuff.... where is that stuff injected and what are the associated dangers to internalengine componentsinvolved with this mod?

 

ok, im going to sound like a noob... water/meth injection?

 

Depends on where you inject it. You do it further away from the tb and you get increased cooling and less knock resistance and vise versa. Most do a single injection about 10-12" from the tb or run a dual nozzle set up. But it wont hurt anything, just clean the cylinder (that is if you use the correct size nozzle, usrt has a chart for hp). There are plenty of write ups and graphs on vortex you can use for more research.

 

haha ok, ill just pretend like i know whats going on until i actually get further into the car

 

Well I currently don't have any knock and am not so worried about knock. will the addition of this modification create knock and placement reduces the effect of the knock?... or are you referring to the aleviation of existing knock?

thanks

Also, mounted 10"-12" from the throttle body on what exactly?

 

some water/meth benifiets:

Higher octane rating
Lower than abient temps
cleans cylinders
increase in timing
reduces knock.

Cincy,

I might be mistaken, but this is going off of Audiworld and my body shop. It seems I have a between build model or something that has a stock dual exhaust on the 180 Quattro. I'm not sure if someone was pulling my leg on AW, but its a factory exhaust / valence.

My VIN pulls up that my model has the dual exhaust on the 180TT. I just had some body work done due to a recent rear-ending. They ordered my exhaust by the vin, and what they got was a dual valence.

Someone over at AW mentioned that in 2001, they ran out of 180 turbos but had 225 exhausts only in stock. I'd love to have some more info if anyone can confirm or debunk it. I know i have a later build for the year, with the AWP and KO3s.

 

you have a 5sp and your throttle body on the passenger side?

 

yeah thats the kicker. it also has a 180 AWP motor and a single SMIC, so I knows its a 180. :-)

 

You most deffinatly have a unique car.
