I just bought an aquamist kit. bit more expensive but as it injrcts based on injectors duty cycle it is easily tuned. The problen with boost referenced kits is 20psi at 3500rpn needs less flow than 16psi at 6500 rpm.

In that particular case, which scenario do you think would have higher cylinder pressure?

I know what you mean, and can adjust the aquamist to be an on/off style system if required. Time will tell when I finally get out on the car how it is best setup.

Hey you guys that run pre turbo, any of you maxed out your comp side and have any before/after sheets? or even how much boost you could run before/after? I only have info on one car running pre turbo meth that jumped 7PSI on the same boost setting and kept making power.

The thing is, is apparently you pick up 5 ish percent more comp flow pre-turbo

Now the thing i see holding that back, is generally most peoples turbo setups are turbine/exhaust housing restricted

so more comp flow i would guess might not do much if the bottleneck is at the other end..

But atm, we have setup a 50cc (and have a 100cc spare aswell)pre-turbo jet on a E85 fuelled 3076 .63 setup Rb25 neo that will be run flat out

and is already leant on hard, so we will see soon if it makes much difference.

All my setups have been compressor limited, and even my new Gt45 setup on my 31 is comp limited.

If you look at v8 turbo drag racing,or turbo restricted, pre comp is pretty popular, AIS systems are very popular

cheers

Ahh ok, thanks for the reply. Although i don't own a RB or a skyline not many Z32 owners do anything other than add boltons so i come here for real info. There are a few stock turbo z32's running low 11's at 120-124mph on stock snails with the boost spiking to 24PSI in the mid range to 17PSI up top so i'm hoping that the pre turbo meth may allow a few more MPH to try crack a 10 second pass.

yeh i have no idea mate, im no expert, but have done a far few setups now, its definitly worth a shot

id like to know aswell as everything ive used so far hasn;t been turbo limited(but will be in the future)

i think if you've already got the octane (eg c16, e85 etc)then a very small amount is the go, enough to give more comp

flow without killing the power,.

the Rb25 3076 setup should show something.... hopefully

cheers

Have a look in my sig mate. I used it with my 3076 on my rb25. (0.63 rear housing)

Ran 12.9:1 AFRs and huge timing at 22psi.

End result was 320rwkw and 800nm or torque that held to the limiter from 3k.

Was an animal.

Okay, so seriously thinking of getting an aquamist kit, they appear to be a quality product with good fail safe options. Which way are people getting the best results on rb26's? I'm currently running -5's @20psi, (so the turbo's could easy give another 5 psi but to be safe from knock I've limited it to 20 psi) standard compression, still got the standard individual throttle bodies. Is it best just to have 1 nozzle just before the intake plenum? Or best to use 2 smaller jets spaced out? Or go one for each cylinder an just one before the intake plenum twice the size of the other 6? An how many cc injectors are ppl , and finding best? Any help would be appreciated, motor is currently being rebuild to should get the plenum tapped now if I'm going to use one nozzle for each. Thanks for your help :)

Put the nozzle as far before the plenum as you can. Give the water time to cool the air, give it distance and time to affect all the air and reduce the possibility of mal-distribution that might happen if you do it right at the plenum. But do it after the intercooler.

Was going to put a 10L w/m tank in the boot, but then thought the tank will have to breath, an don't really want meth fumes in the car, how are people over coming this?

its mixed in water..there is no fumes..lol.

Out of interest i pulled my stageas turbo of the other week to get it upgraded again, and after 15,000km running pre-turbo on a pump/atomiser

system and a 600cc CM coolingmist jet..there was no sign of any compressor wear....apparently the coolingmist nozzles have the finest spray?

I only did it as i wanted to see for myself the results,after seeing all the internet images ,

i still woudn't recommend it unless you want to take ownership for your own actions.

cleaned the 40 micron filter aswell, f**k me even quality meth at 50/50 it leaves shit in there after a while, without the filter you would end up with a dead motor

and clogged nozzle constantly...its easy to see how people in the U.S and there moronic ways of running 100 percent meth leave a trail of broken motors....

its asking for it from the tuning side of things, let alone what it would do ,running it straight through one of these wmi pumps...lmao

To be honest im half thinking of going back to straight water again for a daily car, the demineralised water is clean as, and probally alot better for pump life, still makes f**kloads of power over 98 to..

cheers

Cheers for the update Darren

What about the intercooler will fill up with water issue people that havent tried it worry about? Lol

    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
