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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
