Water methanol kit

[jsws3]

I am thinking about useing a water meth kit on my car .

Is there any one useing it on there i5 if so what gains are you seeing and how often do you refill your bottle .

I am looking at the aquamist hsf4 system as recommended buy demetri .

If there is much interest we could get a group buy going .

[Rocco]

I have the hfs3 version

Works well but is not tested yet ,with custom map for it I mean

[Biturbo]

I'm using in my drag race car.Working good for me.I conect from screen wash bottle, just use one so far and done about 20 race.Methanol spray only on boost like 1bar,so in daily car you not use a lot.

I could be very interested in this as I've been looking at water meth after talking to a few forum bods...

cheers

It seams to be a well worth mod to Do with good benefits .

HFS-3, no need for HFS-4.

Would go some way to sorting my temperature related problems

Not necessarily... it would help any lost power due to high IAT, but the fact that the engine is under serious load on track would still be an issue

[prj]

It would run cooler EGT's so would not heat up as much...
But the solution is proper cooling of fluids.

surely on track would need a bigger rad along with possibly a more powerful fan...but water meth should still help performance....won't it?!?!?? ...

[4WheelDrifter]

A bigger fan would only be needed for a go-kart track. The movement of the car through the air on track should supply more air than a fan can.
Water/Meth injection shouldn't be used to cure an existing problem. I would be like turning up the boost to cure a boost leak.

id be tentatively interested in the HFS bits. I have a basic aquamist kit fitted currently mainly to ward off dentonation. Dont have to top up the bottle all that often. Would like to know what size jet is recommended and what psi to turn on with the basic kit? Running MD147 K26/K27 currently

[prj]

Aquamist is preferrably triggered off of IDC and mapped for.
If you are not mapping for it, then you are not going to gain that much.
I run about 1100cc/min of it on most cars, which means two 1.0mm nozzles.

If you try that without mapping for it though, you are going to lose power as it'll go crazy rich.

I had discussed previously about using the signal wiring for carbon cannister to trigger the aquamist setup if you can get the high speed solenoid to fit inline on the flow. What do you reckon dimiri?

[prj]

No point, as can't map for it anyway. So trigger can be via a hobbs switch if you so desire.

Any system where you map for it (add timing, pull fuel) must have reliable failsafe, or you are going to blow up the motor when it eventually goes wrong.
