Well that takes care of the load that would have been placed on the inj circuit, but using this to drive a pwm solenoid means that the pump will have to be constantly on using a 12v source?

Yep, plan is to use a relay and a boost switch, pump receives 12 volts whenever the car hits boost and stays on until the manifold returns to or below atmospheric pressure. Same 12volt signal would send power to the solid state relay to activate the solenoid.

So ive been doing a little research on evolutionM forums and it appears the biggest worry is getting even cylinder distribution so a lot of people run multiple jets to feed each cylinder.

Which brings me to a query, I'm running a plazmaman forward facing plenum and was going to just set up a progressive system with the jet ~8-10 cm from the TB.

Do you think this would cause uneven flow with a ffp? I'm a little concerned that cylinders 1-3 will end up getting all the mist and 4-6 will "starve" if that makes sense.

Idealy I should probably have a jet in each runner but room is pretty tight and IMO its creating more potential for failure points with multiple nozzles and tees for the feed lines etc.

Thoughts?????

Also interested in this. Slowly figuring out how to make my kit work the way I want, and this was a concern. The solenoid will be run proportional to a fuel injector, same duty cycle and maximum 60hz frequency. Simply put, the engine will complete two revolutions and fire 6 times, for the WMI to inject a %15 mix once. Will this cause problems (even with the stock intake) with cylinder distribution if the nozzle is the usual 80cm before the TB? Or will the manifold, piping and TB send a roughly even amount to each cylinder as the intake valves open in sequence? I have read GTSBOY's comments, can anyone running a single nozzle system confirm that it's relatively safe?

havent read all the pages, but what do you guys think is better overall E85 or water meth? I like the idea of water meth so you only use it on a set boost or throttle point over the constant expense of E85.. but what about results like mid and top end power torque wise?

From the results I have seen, wmi looks comparable to e85 for top end but if your injecting progressively based on boost you won't get the off boost increases that e85 gives.

If given the choice out of both I would go e85 without question, but wmi seems like a good solution for non e85 areas.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm injecting 320ml per minute atm (50/50 mix) on my stockish stagea (cooler/12psi/exhaust), switches on at 10psi

and i get no bog or hesitation either, i think i will just leave the system like that then and not worry about a progressive controller

as when i put a looser converter in

it it will "flash" past that point anyway..

cheers

It interesting to see how much water sombre was injecting, thats the most of have heard of for that

power level, be interesting to know if he played with smaller jets to come to that conclusion or just sized up those ones and left it

cheers

Hi Darren, someone brought your post to my attention :) I didn't experiment with smaller nozzles, though I had them available.

I bought my kit as a customised one put together by a US based vendor with a lot of experience using WMI on very high hp cars. He suggested these nozzle sizes, which I initially queried because they were both rather large and the inverse of what the Snow Performance FAQ seemed to recommend (i.e. large primary, small secondary compared to the recommended opposite).

In this vendor's considerable experience with very high hp (and $$) 2JZ motors, he had found that the rate of torque generation, and the corresponding spike in cylinder pressures and heat, mandated higher volumes overall and a large primary with a smaller secondary, to allow the WMI delivery to match cylinder events and maximise the benefits. I have no perceptible aberrant quench now that it's tuned, and the results speak for themselves so I'm satisfied with his reasoning :)

I regard the WMI mixture very much as a consumable for safety. As I'm about to go bigger again on the motor side of things, it's also nice to know that the infrastructure to support the new setup is in place.

HTH.

Is your system on straight water or water/meth Darren?

I've just got my aquamist up and running and using their jet calculator I've ended up with about 900cc of maximum flow with my 750cc injectors @ 95% idc. I'm running a 50/50 water meth mix. Obviously it won't be using all that flow as its based off idc. I'm keen to see some good results from it

I dont know if im reading/interpreting what you're saying correctly, but you shouldnt need to be running at 95% IDC to get your wmi nozzle flowing at max capacity. You should be able to fiddle with the settings and say at what IDC % you want it to start injecting the water meth mix and at what IDC % you want it injecting at full capacity. It should then ramp up the flow progressively between the minimum set point to the max set point.

water/meth in stagea, in R31 just straight water

I can define when it starts injecting and what rate it ramps up with idc. It can flow 900cc's at 20% idc if I want it to. Their recomendation is 15-20% water meth to fuel so obviously at a lower idc its putting less fuel in which means less water/meth is used. Out of the box its set to come on at 44% idc which is 10psi on my set up with a rate of 1:1

What would you like to know about them? You won't get full voltage out of one like a relay but they work well. I have some 40 amp ones here if you want to test a theory. Not sure how fast it will switch though.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
