Random MS3 Chat Thread

Hey guys, I just ordered a Stage 2 Snow Performance MAF kit with Vince and I was wondering if I should look into buying any other random pieces I may need for the install. I know a couple of you guys are running meth so I was curious as to what extra bits I may want to pick up to make the install a bit easier.

I need to figure out a place to mount the tank, pump and control unit so any information about the set ups would be a great help. I want to make it easy to refill so I was tickling the idea of using my windshield washer tank since I barely used it anyways but at the same time if there is room in the engine bay I can mount of the Snow performance tank. Let me know what you guys think :)

I was looking around on MSF but there is only bits and pieces of information and since you guys are awesome I am asking TM3ers lol.

There's a dude on MSF that runs dual tanks, you can look into that how-to to set it up.

For simplicity sake, I just tapped my WWF tank with the Devils Own tank tap.

You could also tap the lines, but on the Gen2 you need a whole bunch of random stuff that is hard to find locally (at least I tried looking without any luck). You'll need a bunch of "T" fittings, a wash fluid check valve, and some extra washer fluid lines.

Where do you plan on mounting the nozzle? If you tap the cold pipe, you'll need to get a tap (and die) set. If you plan to mount it to the silicone coupler, I have a DO mount that I'm not using right now.

Which nozzle do you plan on using? The ones with the kit are kinda finicky (in terms of installation), unless you're tapping the cold pipe.

The kit should come w/ an "L" shaped nozzle holder, but it's kinda tall so if you tap the top part of the cold pipe, you will need a low profile holder (from DO). I have an extra one (for Loki), but if he doesn't want it you can get it from me.

Are you going to solder the wires or just use butt connectors? You may need extra wiring depending on where you're gonna mount the pump.

That's all I can think of for now.

Mine

Good looking out Anson! =)

Thanks for the info anson :)

I was planning on putting the nozzle on the silicone so I don't have to buy a new cold pipe down the road. I rather just replace the tubes if I ever stock out.

Seems like a D05 (or SP comparible) seems to be the most commonly used one so I will probably do that unless anyone else has a better suggestion.

I am not sure what comes with the kit but it says it has all the hardware needed for installation so I would hope it comes with something for me to tap the silicone.

So would you suggest getting a particular nozzle for silicone tapping?

If you want to use the nozzle mount, then DO5 outside mount is what you're looking for.

It was a bitch to get the Snow Perf nozzle to fit into the nozzle mount.

There's also "the washer mount", but you need an inside mount nozzle (DO, Aquamist)

See how the big black hose is pressing up against the little hose coming out of the actuator? I fear that someday the movement will tear the little hose, but as of right now, the little hose is fine (confirmed by Jerry).

put a ziptie around the two. problem solved, if it hasnt rubbed a hole yet

Is this what I need to order for the silicone mounting?

This is Mrs. Loki. Have sniped Chris' phone to see what this forum business is all about...

I have questions.

#1. Why do you want your car to be so loud? To me it sounds like the car is falling apart but Chris loves it. I'm embarrassed to drive it around yet Chris will stand in the drive way as I move out just to hear the car make the "pst" sound. I don't get it.

#2. Am I the only one who feels the car will spontaneously blow up after one of your nator sessions?

#3. What is plastidip and why does Chris curse it in his sleep?

-n.

1) Loud noises. Racecar. 2 Fast 2 Furious.

2) Nator does not cause blowups, Chris' car being possessed causes blowup

3) Spray latex

To stop him cursing in his sleep simply whisper 'don't worry jerry is here' over and over until episode stops.

Cold in the house after furnace has been deboosted?

Screw 2 fast 2 furious. I asked Chris if he wanted me to take him to see fast and furious 6 and he rejected me cuz he said he was going to see it w you guys.

I will sprinkle holy water on the car, hopefully that helps.

Spray latex sounds like something you'd find at a corner store on church st.

I don't know if I want CJ in bed w us.

You'll hardly notice CJ there.

Loki Jr here yet?

Lmao!!!!! This is hilarious.

No. Loki Jr is on Loki Sr pace...

^^ HAhah.

Let's not jump to any rash decisions here. It could be fun. Although I suspect it'll turn into Chris and I having a break away session to talk shop and you'd be bored. (At least in the PG version of this story)

Don't worry, Paul actually does most of the work while Chris struts around in his UofT Engineering jump suit. Seriously. Who shows up to a NATOR meet and claims "This old thing? I just happen to be wearing it... I didn't even realize it said that on the back..." Back on topic. Don't worry, Paul does most of the work, so it's legit.

I love talking about front mount intercoolers and fuel/air ratios (??? 14.7 or some shit).

"This old thing?" Chris asks me where his coveralls are before he heads out... My mom washed them for him so he'll smell nice clean for you next time.

#1 "Pst" sound warns slower cars to move over as you approach. :chuckle

#2 Completely normal. :chuckle

#3 Oh man, this is not good... If this persists, he's gonna end up needing therapy in the future because of all that plastidip. If not taken care off, he'll be seeing regular aerosol cans as plastidip. :chuckle

I just pictured Chris dreaming about plastidip and swearing! :chuckle
