Yeah I have yet to have it hold, but my attempts were prior to having the meth hooked back up. I am also running 25-26psi which is a bit higher then the average S3 boost levels, even then it isnt until 5000ish that it cut out with all that fuel.
That first 2K rpm of HOM was awesome though. RAPED a EVO9 MR, RX7 and many other cars that night.....
I disconnected my WI/Meth (actually Heet) the other day and KR stayed the same (Aeroforce Pro) throught the power/boost band.
What is your A/F at 5000 ... and what Boost are you seeing at that 5000 RPM?
Surely your aren't running 25-26 PSI ... on 91-pump ... at redline ... are you???

Just some random notes that pertain to the recent converstaion:
I was getting about 2-5 KR on my scan gauge in NON-HOM on 91 octane piss-water here in Denver. I'm spiking to 22psi & holding about 19psi on stock WGA. On a 3rd gear pull my timming starts off around 38 degree's of advance but after some spark blow out & KR, my timming would end up around 20 degrees
I re-gapped the NGK 4306's from .035 down to .030 & that helped the blow out by about 75% (I have a screamin demon coil on the way to hopefully help rid the rest of it).
I filled up with a tank of 100 octane just to see if it would help my KR at all. HOLY COW This sucka pulls way harder even without HOM on race gas! My timming starts out at 38-ish but holds 30 degrees advance strong with 0 KR It was also spiking to 26 psi falling to 20-ish now. I still get a tad bit of blowout (especially in 5th gear)so we'll see how that goes?
I was starting to miss that "scarey fast" feeling on accelleration I would get with the old 50 trim set-up... not anymore! The power just seems like it lasts forever without having to shift as much I can't wait to get the toys portion hooked up... so many mods, so little time.

O.k. thinking about cutting my balance chain. What's the virdict? Is there anyone here that regretted doing it? How much vibration is it really? For those that have done it, please pipe in good or bad. I am guessing my mods will put me over 400 hp when the bc stage 3 cams go in.

A friend and I installed the agp s3 wg on the car this past Saturday along with the dcr stage 2 clutch..
However, I need to turn down the wg when I get a chance, I boosted 22.7 psi on dab 0 today..
I love the way the s3 sounds with the Garrett compressor wheel..
Damn! What did it do on dab3?
I would not want to find out.. I am still breaking in the clutch so I have been taking it easy! That was the first time I gradually went wot on dab 0, I have to readjust the wg but I hope to spike 27/hold 25psi on dab-3.
Holy Hell! Man you gona try that w/o meth? I want to do a 25-27 spike and hold nothing less than 20-22. What clutch did ya get?
DCR stage 2 clutch.. I recorded the run on my scan gauge and I had 0 KR at 22.7psi. However, I am going to be picking up a Coolingmist kit in about two weeks, just to keep the KR in check, and hopefully I will be able to tune the W/I to hold HOM..
For the last week I have been driving around with the red button on. It has been holding HOM on the pump and alky. Way to much fun. I am just going through a lot of meth. Just make sure you get dual nozzles.
hmmm, odd... never heard of s3r holding hom on watermeth alone. you must be going just part throttle :P
I have been able to hold it in all gears since last week. 40 plus pulls in the car. The only time I got kicked out was the other night when the weather changed. The temp outside dropped 30 degrees. Just changed my settings slightly and back to holding. There is two of us that I know that are holding HOM on pump and meth. Not sure if you checked the meth section lately. I am running a dual nozzle set-up with the coolingmist controller. Here is a link to the thread I made. My car would only hold HOM with C16 before. I was sick of spending $9 a gallon, so I decided to just tune the car with meth and pump gas.
So forget about meth. Has anyone held HOM on 110 leaded? That what I had to use on my s2. It wouldnt hold on 100. Just just trying to figure out if ya guys think s3 will hold HOM on 110 or if Im gona have to go with c16. Dont plan on using meth or anything like that. Oh my s3 is gona be pnp'd 44/lb wheel. Think that will make me go straight c16?
I hold HOM perfectly with 50/50 100/110 mix. It's the big magic
Right on. That can work. Cus I can get both of those 24hrs/day. The c16 is a little bit harder to come by. Guess I will have to try it out and see how it goes.

I posted a bit about it in the SRT-4 Breakdown thread. I wouldnt do it. The vibration issue isnt a "comfort" issue, it is more of inline with keeping the motor harmonically sound. The bigger the motor the more room for error there is with harmonic resonance.
Thanx ice, I realize it probably does not fit this thread, but it's s3r that's gotten me to the point of thinking about cutting it. I have not heard of anyone destroying their engine from it comming off yet.
no problem.
When you think about it though, you really arent gaining power that cantt be made easily some place else. I view it just as a unnecessary risk. But it is an option.
So how is my fellow black S3 ACR owner ? Did you miss me LORDHELMET_1? LOL! What have you done to her since we last talked?
Hey, what's going on Mike.. How's your car man? I bet it is still running strong!!
I just installed a new clutch (DCR stage 2) that I had sitting in my closet for about one month and the AGP s3 wg that I had sitting around waiting to be installed for a while..
I did have to remove my 3 inch O2 because I ran into a little problem with it. So, for now I am running the S3 O2 until I get a replacement 3 inch O2 back on the car.
I am going to install a 30psi GlowShift gauge on Saturday, and in about two weeks I am going to purchase the Coolingmist kit with the progressive controller to see if I can tune it to hold HOM.
The Garrett 49lbs compressor wheel is still running strong..
I haven't had to much spare time to do anything else on the car, because I am still in training for my new job, which means I have time for absolutely nothing else.. The cool thing is that next week we are going to do our driver portion of our training which I am really looking forward too..
