I just bought an aquamist kit. bit more expensive but as it injrcts based on injectors duty cycle it is easily tuned. The problen with boost referenced kits is 20psi at 3500rpn needs less flow than 16psi at 6500 rpm.

In that particular case, which scenario do you think would have higher cylinder pressure?

I know what you mean, and can adjust the aquamist to be an on/off style system if required. Time will tell when I finally get out on the car how it is best setup.

Hey you guys that run pre turbo, any of you maxed out your comp side and have any before/after sheets? or even how much boost you could run before/after? I only have info on one car running pre turbo meth that jumped 7PSI on the same boost setting and kept making power.

The thing is, is apparently you pick up 5 ish percent more comp flow pre-turbo

Now the thing i see holding that back, is generally most peoples turbo setups are turbine/exhaust housing restricted

so more comp flow i would guess might not do much if the bottleneck is at the other end..

But atm, we have setup a 50cc (and have a 100cc spare aswell)pre-turbo jet on a E85 fuelled 3076 .63 setup Rb25 neo that will be run flat out

and is already leant on hard, so we will see soon if it makes much difference.

All my setups have been compressor limited, and even my new Gt45 setup on my 31 is comp limited.

If you look at v8 turbo drag racing,or turbo restricted, pre comp is pretty popular, AIS systems are very popular

cheers

Ahh ok, thanks for the reply. Although i don't own a RB or a skyline not many Z32 owners do anything other than add boltons so i come here for real info. There are a few stock turbo z32's running low 11's at 120-124mph on stock snails with the boost spiking to 24PSI in the mid range to 17PSI up top so i'm hoping that the pre turbo meth may allow a few more MPH to try crack a 10 second pass.

yeh i have no idea mate, im no expert, but have done a far few setups now, its definitly worth a shot

id like to know aswell as everything ive used so far hasn;t been turbo limited(but will be in the future)

i think if you've already got the octane (eg c16, e85 etc)then a very small amount is the go, enough to give more comp

flow without killing the power,.

the Rb25 3076 setup should show something.... hopefully

cheers

Have a look in my sig mate. I used it with my 3076 on my rb25. (0.63 rear housing)

Ran 12.9:1 AFRs and huge timing at 22psi.

End result was 320rwkw and 800nm or torque that held to the limiter from 3k.

Was an animal.

Okay, so seriously thinking of getting an aquamist kit, they appear to be a quality product with good fail safe options. Which way are people getting the best results on rb26's? I'm currently running -5's @20psi, (so the turbo's could easy give another 5 psi but to be safe from knock I've limited it to 20 psi) standard compression, still got the standard individual throttle bodies. Is it best just to have 1 nozzle just before the intake plenum? Or best to use 2 smaller jets spaced out? Or go one for each cylinder an just one before the intake plenum twice the size of the other 6? An how many cc injectors are ppl , and finding best? Any help would be appreciated, motor is currently being rebuild to should get the plenum tapped now if I'm going to use one nozzle for each. Thanks for your help :)

Put the nozzle as far before the plenum as you can. Give the water time to cool the air, give it distance and time to affect all the air and reduce the possibility of mal-distribution that might happen if you do it right at the plenum. But do it after the intercooler.

Was going to put a 10L w/m tank in the boot, but then thought the tank will have to breath, an don't really want meth fumes in the car, how are people over coming this?

its mixed in water..there is no fumes..lol.

Out of interest i pulled my stageas turbo of the other week to get it upgraded again, and after 15,000km running pre-turbo on a pump/atomiser

system and a 600cc CM coolingmist jet..there was no sign of any compressor wear....apparently the coolingmist nozzles have the finest spray?

I only did it as i wanted to see for myself the results,after seeing all the internet images ,

i still woudn't recommend it unless you want to take ownership for your own actions.

cleaned the 40 micron filter aswell, f**k me even quality meth at 50/50 it leaves shit in there after a while, without the filter you would end up with a dead motor

and clogged nozzle constantly...its easy to see how people in the U.S and there moronic ways of running 100 percent meth leave a trail of broken motors....

its asking for it from the tuning side of things, let alone what it would do ,running it straight through one of these wmi pumps...lmao

To be honest im half thinking of going back to straight water again for a daily car, the demineralised water is clean as, and probally alot better for pump life, still makes f**kloads of power over 98 to..

cheers

Cheers for the update Darren

What about the intercooler will fill up with water issue people that havent tried it worry about? Lol

    • 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).
