Sweet....

any news on your plans for water injection. I'm a huge fan of this idea, I want to try it on mine when I get it back on the road.

[BOOSTD]

I am working on water injection right now. I set up intercooler sprays last night and ran 112mph with it on and 107 without.

[Guest INASNT]

Did u have the spray on for the whole run?

[BOOSTD]

No just whenever I got time to push the button between gear changes, to much to thing of having to turn my thermo's off aswell.

[Steve]

what sort of times did you manage Matt?

[BOOSTD]

Blah...... nothing special. 2.3 60" will do that.

Boostd

With your intercooler spray are you using the rear window spray motor as power source and 1 or 2 nozzles?

[BOOSTD]

yep, exactly. took ten minutes to setup. I only used one jet. will be setting up 3 in the future and an anti-drip valve... grrr

[2rismo]

and an anti-drip valve... grrr

I'm running two that come on on a very hi-tech and up-market human-switch (rear window washer).

2 x garden variety (literally) sprinkler mist jets, some plastic washer tube and the plastic one way valve out of a mates water injection. He doesn't need it....I think....

Works a treat when I remember to use it...

r u using the rear washer switch or have u hooked up a new switch? Do u have a water return to the washer bottle?

[EnricoPalazzo]

hmm sounsds like a thing i might mess with. i was reading somewhere ages ago, that they recommend spending a little extra and by brass fittings over plastic as the spray pattern is meant to be very improtant in heat dissapation?

I used the washer switch at wsid, will be making a new switch on the w-end.

Instant: I don't have water returning...

Dean: you are the biggest copy cat ! I will call you "mini matt". Your turn to do something I can copy.....maybe not the sticky taped boost gauge line though. lol

[NINOBROWN]

Does anyone know what size is the exhaust snout on a standard series 1 R33 turbo?

[BOOSTD]

47mm

[benm]

I thought that FMIC Water Spray was just a rice thing... does spraying water on the fmic really make that much difference to temps for only 12-14 seconds?

[EnricoPalazzo]

well sti install them on the wrx's so u think it would do somethin.

matt: hehe so true mate. hey the boost gauge tape is da best bro.

[BOOSTD]

lol....bro

[NINOBROWN]

If i was to do the same modifications on my standard turbo, would i get the same amount of power as doing the same thing to a vg30 turbo? considering that the vg30 has a 42mm exhaust turbine and the standard skyline turbo has a 47mm.

[BOOSTD]

opps my bad, VG30bb and RB25 are the same 42mm not 47mm. The VG30 would still make more power tho due to less back pressure with bigger A/R exhaust housing.

[NINOBROWN]

thanx for the info, i was just trying to make sense of this all. cheers
