About to get retuned on water meth, but I'm after opinions on what's the highest boost and hp I should be aiming for? I know it's roughly the same as e85 but not as good so I don't want to push it at the same level as that.

I wanted to push it hard but not over the limit, the tune will switch back to normal 98 map when low level is sensed for safety.

It's a stock rb25det with all supporting mods.

i talked to pete at nistune tonight, going to go back to the dyno again in 4-6weeks hopefully as i replaced my blow-off valve

and it was leaking 7psi when i tuned it last time.//so the poor hypergears G3 was running 26ish psi to get 19psi in manifold.

And had no comp flow left.

Comes up on boost much harder now.

want to check out cold start and road tune aswell as its a daily/holiday car

wmi been on car now for 12months, had no problems once i installed the 30 micron filter, clean it out everytime i do oil

change at 5000km. seems to be a bit of shit in the meth i have been using. Without the filter you would be asking for trouble, but

it catches it all, nozzle has been perfect

cheers

darren

checked every 5000km, but to be honest, the jet has been fine, i only had problems with it before fitting the aem filter.

My wife drives car everday, and it switches on at least once a day going up the hill to take kids to school, so maybe that keeps it

from any build up aswell?

cheers

LMAO @ wife using WMI taking kids to school

That is all.

darren,

where did you get the filter?

also where in the system is it installed?

andrew

ebay, its installed before the solenoid. If you pump is separate to your tank you could put it before you pump.

I can't as i have a pump mounted in tank setup

I woudn't run a system without one as there seems to be a bit of shit in the meth from the speed shop, would clog up a jet very easily, judging by

the shit i am cleaning of the filter mesh, woudn't bother a fuel system

Well done at the drags aswell andrew..your .cars a beast, real nice street setup!

Also to point out here, as its not written much on net at all , DON'T use teflon tape or such on fittings, only proper thread sealant

unless you want to lose a motor, the shit ends up getting sucked through and WILL end up in your jet, its only a matter of time.....

might not happen overnight..but it will happen..lol

I see some forums say it alright..it is not, even if you use a small amount

cheers

darren

Thanks darren,its great fun on the road, and actually gets more traction on the street.

did you go out to the drags for a look? See the rb30 stagea?

Ive only got the crappy looking in tank filter, will look at another, does putting one on the pressure side of the pump effect injector flow?

nah man, was up river that day, didn't even know it was on, would have been good to catch up

Yeh that stagea is the guy with the username Superben on here, he hasn't updated his time here. Such a cool sleeper, would smash many a unsuspecting skyline..haha

cheers

I still dont get why not many people are using wmi as opposed to e85 - cheaper, can use only water and fill up wherever, similar power gains if Im correct...

Possibly because it's illegal? Is it not?

Possibly because it's illegal? Is it not?

Nat it's perfectly legal from what others have said

Because it doesn't effect the emissions of the car

I think less people run it because it's more things that can go wrong.

Nozzle gets clogged and there goes your engine, water runs out and there goes your engine, stops spraying for a short time and there goes your engine.

Just too many things compared to a nice E85 setup

Buy a system with a good failsafe feature on it and none of those things will be an issue. I'll be wiring my aquamist into the ecu so it switches back to my soft tune if there is any problems. Thinking I may also use it to disable the boost controller through a relay

Things that can go wrong as noted by Kasko: *nozzle gets clogged>>can say same for fuel injectors hence detonation/engine gone

*Stops spraying for short time>>can say same for fuel injectors hence knocking/detonation/engine gone

*runs out of water>>some systems have failsafe devices like warning light/level indicator etc

So really the issues above are the same as for other systems like fuel etc; in the car..or is it not?? E85 on the other hand costs a lot more- very few servos around/ poor fuel economy/starting etc etc

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
