    Damn this is some technical shit thats is way above my big head with small brain.

    So basically the jrsc needs to be cooled somehow. You can either cool it with:
    1) an aftercooler kit + the methanol/water injection kit

    OR

    2) an aquamist kit which IS a type of methanol/water injection kit


    what does GPH stand for? And where do you buy this water/methanol mixture?

    There are more options than what myself and 04ep3hatch are advocating. AIS, Snow Performance, Cooling Mist, and Aquamist are all reputable Meth kits. Aquamist has a nice progressive controller which allows for modulation of the flow by integrating it with sensors from the native car. It's an option that most other kits do no offer. Usually you have it working like Nitrous, it's either flowing a constant rate or its not. The threshold for on operation is usually set very close to full throttle to help preserve injection for needed situations.

    There aren't too many aftercooling options. A couple of guys on CRSX made their own. Joe at Prototype racing made a couple for some race teams a few years back, but those are long gone. You'll still see the Loza/JustinC cores pop up from now and then but they require an RSX JRSC. The RSX JRSC has a better flowing manifold, but it's fitment within the EP engine bay is not as nice as the native EP kit.

    GPH is Gallons per Hour. You can buy methanol at local shops and mix it with water at your convenience.

    You seem pretty green to the SC game. Check out clubrsx's SC section and read their stickies. Lot's of good info on everything from tuning, coolers, and alcohol injection.

    To dumb down the conversation, I was just going to confirm (and I didn't read pages 2-4) that the Injen CAI SP-1576 is a 3" piping specific to the EP3 engine bay. I believe even Fujita's CAI is 3", AEM just never updated their product... Injen originally made a "1st gen" CAI for the EP3 that had smaller piping before coming up with a better one.

    than you sir
    I appreciate the clarification
    by the way, in your old set up, where you running both an aftercooler and a water/meth kit?
