Plus you are saying that there is 'residual' water in your engine....wrong. WMI isn't used from 0 to 100, you use a management system and only begin injection at a determined threshold. For

No, but seriously, there have been thousands of people in Australia running WMI, with proper ECU integration (giving all the protections to reduce boost and/or timing and/or add fuel back in if the wa

Nismo sell the same snake oil that HKS et al do, just in a more fanboi friendly box.

About to get retuned on water meth, but I'm after opinions on what's the highest boost and hp I should be aiming for? I know it's roughly the same as e85 but not as good so I don't want to push it at the same level as that.

I wanted to push it hard but not over the limit, the tune will switch back to normal 98 map when low level is sensed for safety.

It's a stock rb25det with all supporting mods.

i talked to pete at nistune tonight, going to go back to the dyno again in 4-6weeks hopefully as i replaced my blow-off valve

and it was leaking 7psi when i tuned it last time.//so the poor hypergears G3 was running 26ish psi to get 19psi in manifold.

And had no comp flow left.

Comes up on boost much harder now.

want to check out cold start and road tune aswell as its a daily/holiday car

wmi been on car now for 12months, had no problems once i installed the 30 micron filter, clean it out everytime i do oil

change at 5000km. seems to be a bit of shit in the meth i have been using. Without the filter you would be asking for trouble, but

it catches it all, nozzle has been perfect

cheers

checked every 5000km, but to be honest, the jet has been fine, i only had problems with it before fitting the aem filter.

My wife drives car everday, and it switches on at least once a day going up the hill to take kids to school, so maybe that keeps it

from any build up aswell?

cheers

darren,

where did you get the filter?

also where in the system is it installed?

andrew

ebay, its installed before the solenoid. If you pump is separate to your tank you could put it before you pump.

I can't as i have a pump mounted in tank setup

I woudn't run a system without one as there seems to be a bit of shit in the meth from the speed shop, would clog up a jet very easily, judging by

the shit i am cleaning of the filter mesh, woudn't bother a fuel system

Well done at the drags aswell andrew..your .cars a beast, real nice street setup!

Also to point out here, as its not written much on net at all , DON'T use teflon tape or such on fittings, only proper thread sealant

unless you want to lose a motor, the shit ends up getting sucked through and WILL end up in your jet, its only a matter of time.....

might not happen overnight..but it will happen..lol

I see some forums say it alright..it is not, even if you use a small amount

cheers

Thanks darren,its great fun on the road, and actually gets more traction on the street.

did you go out to the drags for a look? See the rb30 stagea?

Ive only got the crappy looking in tank filter, will look at another, does putting one on the pressure side of the pump effect injector flow?

nah man, was up river that day, didn't even know it was on, would have been good to catch up

Yeh that stagea is the guy with the username Superben on here, he hasn't updated his time here. Such a cool sleeper, would smash many a unsuspecting skyline..haha

cheers

I still dont get why not many people are using wmi as opposed to e85 - cheaper, can use only water and fill up wherever, similar power gains if Im correct...

Possibly because it's illegal? Is it not?

Nat it's perfectly legal from what others have said

Because it doesn't effect the emissions of the car

I think less people run it because it's more things that can go wrong.

Nozzle gets clogged and there goes your engine, water runs out and there goes your engine, stops spraying for a short time and there goes your engine.

Just too many things compared to a nice E85 setup

Buy a system with a good failsafe feature on it and none of those things will be an issue. I'll be wiring my aquamist into the ecu so it switches back to my soft tune if there is any problems. Thinking I may also use it to disable the boost controller through a relay

Things that can go wrong as noted by Kasko: *nozzle gets clogged>>can say same for fuel injectors hence detonation/engine gone

*Stops spraying for short time>>can say same for fuel injectors hence knocking/detonation/engine gone

*runs out of water>>some systems have failsafe devices like warning light/level indicator etc

So really the issues above are the same as for other systems like fuel etc; in the car..or is it not?? E85 on the other hand costs a lot more- very few servos around/ poor fuel economy/starting etc etc

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
