I had the great opportunity to get in contact with an Englishman who has currently over 300rwkW in his CA18 and which is used as a track car and has done so reliably for over a year easily. I think his secret comes down to water injection which he runs without disguise.

Now I imagine water injection isnt just a matter of sticking water in the inlet air. IT has to be sprayed as a mist and at a certain time (ie on boost).

I am new to water injection so if some of my questions seem simple, please dont insult me :D

Having seen a zoom magazine covering water injection a while ago cheaply, is there a way you know to cheaply setup and run H2O injection? Ie what components, how to mount it, what pump etc?

Can aftermarket CPUs be used to drive a water injection system and if yes how?

Do you need to increase the amount of water as load on boost increases?

Please any other details and help would be appreciated.

Thanks again

You could use many things to get the water injection to initialise. Would be quite easy.

Could use anything from an RPM engager (autometer sell these and I can order for around the $150 mark), or even use an Apexi RSM.

Quite easy to set up I would think.

them easiest best way is to run a $40 pressure switch, so it actives at a set boost level.

the water has to be atomised into a fine mist, and you have to take care in ensuring you are running correct water to fuel ratios, or you'll hydro lock your motor..

you're looking at about $300 - $400 for a proper DIY setup

But yeah as R31Nismoid said. It has been covered before in the past.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
