Chris Wilson Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Profit margin? Maybe using a commercial pump, rather than what I believe was his own design in the old kits, is more profitable, but needs outside control? I am going to do the analogue to digi converters as I have bought the bits. I just need time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I used to use and fit a lot of the basic Aquamist kits, that ran a pressure switch, a relay and a pump. Very simple, and reliable. They then constantly brought out more and more complex kits with their own "ECU" control. For 90% of people with road cars these are OTT and expensive, and need hacking into factory injector and ecu wiring, which is always a bit of a kludge, even when done neatly, but I believe the old basic kit is no more. The new kits use a HUGE pump that to me looks just like the crop sprayer pump I use on the tractor... But at several times the price With WI you just need something straightforward that pumps water in at over say 0.9 to 1.2 bar of boost. Thats the problem, the Aquamist kits are $$$$ now , maybe AEM is a good choice The Motec has provisions in the Supra package to run WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Forgot to update this On first run at 0.6 bar boost the car made 411bhp Just waiting for final mapping to be done and will update when i get that figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Shane_ Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Will see what it makes and then how the car drives when its all done and dusted, can always do a forged build next year or else swap out the T51 for something a bit smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Are you planning to use a stiffer spring? Rule of thumb normally max boost is 2x the wastegate spring rate so youd only be able to run 1.2 bar ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 That is roughly all we were planning on running anyway with stock bottom end and 95 octane fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
