Guest Richard L Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hello Ricky and Chris, So this is the place where you hide... I hope you are all well. Ricky, your installation is looking great, should be in the tate-modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 uk-rich, I have happened to found this thread. Great install, very tidy and professional. I wonder if you can rotate the pump so that it is horizontal. The internal spring may not like the up/down motion of the car especially if the shocks are very hard. Richard thanks for the advice i will look into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Thanks for the compliments:) after i ran the same setup but under bonnet of my old S14, i decided that it always looked a bit untidy, so this time i did it this way, means a bit more wiring and running the tube through the car, but having most everything in one place makes for much easier additions/changes, i also have the water reservoir in the boot.

uk-rich Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 can you hear the pump running when its mounted in the car ?,when i primed mine up, i was suprised by the amount of noise they make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 No, but i have mine mounted on rubber feet, the only noise i get is the priming pump, as its a window washer pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 can you hear the pump running when its mounted in the car ?,when i primed mine up, i was suprised by the amount of noise they make If the noise feels excessive, first make sure that it's pumping water and not froth or air (that makes it more noisy, plus the risk of a burnt pump of course!). It could be looking fine from the outside, no leaks, but sucking air from the low-pressure side. You never know. Get the nozzle to spray in the open air (short out the pressure switch with the ignition left on) and verify that the mist is OK. It doesn't hurt to check;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 With no boost the pressure switch contacts are closed, to run the pump you need to pull a terminal OFF the switch with ignition on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1933 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Good setup this, i take it it doesnt work with the Apexi Power FC though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 An Aquamist 1s works on it own using a pressure switch so what ECU you have doesnt matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Rich. Like everything else on your car, this is looking like a work of art. Good luck with the rest of the install. I'll be in the shadows, watching progression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Chris is right, pull it to open the circuit, duh. Too much wine talking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
