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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
