Ahh OK. So you are considering going down the WMI route too? :P

Yeh I'm thinking about it. Need to get my car going properly again first, but it's something I'm thinking about for the future. If E85 doesn't become available/affordable here then I'll probably go with WMI.

Running 315rwkw, I saw no difference between 375ml and 675ml nozzles, only a bottle that emptied twice as fast.

With the 375ml nozzle, I was able to max out my timing, and that was with a GT3076 and a 0.63 rear housing. If you have a 0.82 rear housing I'm sure that you won't see any gains with the bigger nozzle.

Hmmm yep have a 0.82 rear (GTX3071R). Now I'm confused, I don't want to drain the WM unnecessarily.

have you got a controller ?

as my 5 1/2 L tank dose not empty twice as fast with a controller.

alot of this is trial and error till you find what works for you and your set up running a duty cycle of 7 on the controller works for me which is over 375ml for me at 322kw@820 nm

with a hks 3037 pro s .87

Yep I have a fully variable controller.

then you have nothing to worry about.

some people use the cheaper stuff and have problems with wastage.

your going in the right direction its not rocket science as some make it out.

its all going to come down to the man who tunes yor car

what set up did you get and what psi pump did you get ?

is it of tps or psi the controller

I will be using a Snow Performance Stage 3 kit with the digital variable mapping controller (based on injector duty and MAP inputs). The pump is 220psi.

Im looking at this kit also. Will be interesting to see how you go

Thanks GTSBoy, thats some conclusive information right there.

Obviously we wouldnt define that as a change in dynamic compression but it obviously has a similar effect to an increase in dynamic compression. Pushing the piston down as it expands (like increased DCR would).

Hard to define, but this is what I was on about the first time I said it. Its interesting to read that it doesnt expand during compression stroke, as I thought it did.

This is a pretty valuable thread.

Just proved in practise again my thoughts that unless the engine is knock limited there is no gain in wmi.

We lost over 65hp on a 1014hp engine with wmi on - that was with a snow performance kit 50/50 mix. That was on a 434ci chevy v8 with f1 supercharger non intercooled on e85.

WMI with E85?

Dont even know why you bothered

It was non intercooled running around 22psi of boost. The measured intake air temp reduction on a 6sec run was around 15degree C at the rev limit. From around 75 to 60degree C. The wmi injector location was at the outlet of the supercharger.

This was a low compression engine (8:1) and was not at all knock limited hence there were no gains with wmi even though the intake temp was reduced by 15degrees.

How much did you inject Rob? Being a 1000hp engine I can see how you would have lost power if you were using a large volume (800cc or so), because as you said ... not knock limited. But a small nozzle pre-supercharger would have given you the air temp drop without slowing down the burn as much.

+1 There is sooooooo much info on the interwebs stating that you do one or the other, just a waste of time to do both.

I really need to pull my finger out and finish my install :(

you sure about that?....and you Manuel Kasko?..you know theres still reason that you would use both even if it made no

more power...not all people just drive around the streets in there skylines you know, theres many forms of motorsport out there...

cheers

Don't wait, it s a good system. I am wrapped in mine - going to keep using it in my RB30 when i get it happening as well. I've got my trigger setings at 6/10 and 50/70 and seems to work about right. I could lower the settings, but will check them out in summer first.

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
