HPF Stage 2 Pictures

[HPF Chris]

I just took some pictures of our Stage 2 "methanol" kit. The methanol kit fits snugly underneath the front bumper. Many of the components come pre-configured and attached to the HPF bracket including the pump, filter, sensor and fuses. The methanol fogger simply screws into our Stage 1 intake manifold, and the methanol connector simply plugs into our EMS. Everything is plug-n-play.

One of the reasons we opted for the front of the car was to keep all methanol and methanol lines out of the cabin and in front of the firewall for safety reasons. We also opted for very short methanol lines so that when the engine requires methanol, it comes on much faster than if the tank and pump were at the rear of the car.

Here are some pictures of the front of the car (the methanol pump bracket is right behind the driver side bumper)

The methanol harness simply plugs into our ECU is on the left side of the picture below.

Here are the methanol containers that are currently in production. They fit between the intake manifold and the fender and connect to existing studs. We're testing every stage 2 car with a standard methanol container, and will ship these once they arrive.

I really like your attention to detail. There are so many parts that need to be made for this kit...thank goodness for solidworks eh Chris? Is the meth container going to be made out of aluminium as well or is it going to be blow molded? Coming from a CNC machining background i love seeing this type of technology being used. Keep up the good work.

I have to say Chris, you definitely keep all us informed on the progress of these stages. Good work!

I have tried to read all of the updates, do you have any idea where stg 3 numbers (Hp and Torque) will be landing in. Not looking for definite, but just a range.

Chris,
The meth kit looks great mounted. :thumbsup:
Did you guys get all my Dynos done?

[Lay2Low]

Looks outstanding!

Wow, excellent work Chris!:thumbsup:

[MSpired]

This is one of the most amazing kits i've ever seen. So much attention to every small detail and component. I gotta hand it to you guys! :thumbsup:

HPF continues to impress. As I suspected, they pay the same close attention to every single detail surrounding every single stage of their system. There are no cut corners here, HPF takes the outside apex with style. :str8pimpi

Thanks much!


Chris, The meth kit looks great mounted. Did you guys get all my Dynos done?

Thanks.. We have not started the dyno process yet. Yours will be done first thing tomorrow morning. Raj's and Josh's will be 2nd and 3rd. We're hoping to get them all done tomorrow, but we'll see. I fully intend to have your car shipped out on Friday, but I'll know for sure after tomorrow. :)

Take care,
Chris.

Looking great as always!!

Thanks. Yes we have some very anal engineers and technicians. Everything must be perfect. :)

Thanks. We're looking to make 850rwhp with stage 3 and race fuel and 550rwhp with stage 3 on pump gas.

Thanks. Yes, solidworks is definitely our friend. The methanol container is going to be made out of black methanol resistant plastic. We want it to blend in with the rest of the car and have a factory appearance.


Chris,

Absolutely. It is around 50 degrees outside today where our kit will make quite a bit more power than we advertise. Your car made 652rwhp on 110 octane race fuel + methanol, and 589rwhp on 91 octane pump + methanol.

Here's a dyno graph of the "SAE corrected" numbers. This graph doesn't show the actual power like the first one does, but it adjusts the power based on conditions so that any future "SAE corrected" dyno graphs can be compared against each other.

Looks outstanding!

AGREED:excited:

I would say Tommy should be happy with that. :thumbsup:
