imi Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 imi what's do the two lines in the graphs represent? depends which graph you are looking at example: 1st is HP vs RPM and Torque vs RPM plotted on the same RPM scale (x-axis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Does your WI system depend totally on boost pressure v jet size? sounds like you need a smaller jet, if you're running stand alone ECU i don't know why you didn't go fore a mappable system, for much more precise control, too much water will sap power.

The way it is plumbed in at the moment depends entirely on boost pressure & jet size although I do believe it can be wired into the AEM that I have. Can you explain what you mean by precise control?

Can you explain what you mean by precise control? Well put it this way, i have an Aquamist 2c system which includes a high speed valve, same as a fuel injector, and i can fully control this via my EMU, IE duty cycle can be adjusted to suite RPM and boost pressure, so it completely mappable to get just the right amount of water at the right time, i have a five litre container for water/meth mix and it will last me six months.

imi Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 thought you werent supposed to map the car with WI switched on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 thought you werent supposed to map the car with WI switched on? Who said i do;) but WI does help run things a little closer to optimum with the benefit of det suppression, should you over do things a little, but the main reason i mentioned it is because its very easy to loose out on power if you chuck in too much water, which it sounds like you're doing:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 thought you werent supposed to map the car with WI switched on? yes you can as long as you have the right safe guards, whats the point of having it if you dont map it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) yes you can as long as you have the right safe guards, whats the point of having it if you dont map it Although i have most the required fail safes (IE a way to cut boost, retard timing and chuck in some extra fuel AUTOMATICALLY!, should det be detected if the water water runs out) to map fully for water injection. I certainly wouldn't do so on a road car, as squeezing the last 15-20BHP out of the engine is not worth the risk;) However it is still worth using simply for the charge cooling, in cylinder cooling/det suppression, like i said as long as its not over done;) Edited January 31, 2009 by Tricky-Ricky (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Calling out to Ryan G.....fancy another mapping session with WI? If the weather is good, ill try and put the smallest jet in tomorrow and refill the tank - that should make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Looks good, a Rad plate and IC plate may help with lowering intake temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Looks good, a Rad plate and IC plate may help with lowering intake temps. Jamie - I've got a CW SMIC. Update on WI - i've fitted the smallest jet and refilled the tank with a 30% meth solution. Will see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 nice curve on the graph Before I went single I was always concerned about the driveability of the car as a street car and it's reliability. Thx to the advice on this forum, the suppliers, Pheonix and Ryan, the car has superseded my expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Got my car weighed (end of feb) @ snetterton and with a tank full of optimax it was 1561Kg.

Sounds right mate, mine was lighter, but had quite a few things removed, very few gauges and other funky stuff fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Got a set of new rear tyres for the car....previous set lasted just over 12K miles which included a trip to le mans last year.

imi Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Just dropped it off at whifbitz today, what a bitch to dig it out of the snow to get it into whifbitz....(paul - thanks for all your help, not ; thanks for your gloves anyway ) Getting all the fluids changed as part of the service (all fluids other than brake fluid - done recently) and other bits and pieces like the water pump leak (possibly seal), clutch line, gearbox bushes handbrake adjustment and time permitted Paul / Darren to build me a nice sealed airbox. Looking forward to getting it back on Tuesday - cant wait......... Edited January 10, 2010 by imi (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
