Alex Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 My preference is due to the resolution and adjustability the emanage gives you that the S-AFC can't. Because you can edit the load sites you can make things much sweeter around the sequential transition point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lui Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 When will it be finish Lui ? Been told definitely by the end of next week fingers crossed. Then whole weekend of driving down to the furthest stretch of Cornwall & back for the running in. Then back to Mark for check over. Then off to IanC so that he can do his magic. Can't wait at least chosen right month for work to be carried out with all the bad weather in July that we have had. Hopefully back to peak performance by mid August.

lui Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 Don't push them Lui. I'd rather have a job done well than have it rushed to meet a deadline. Under no pressure at all don't have no dead lines & in no rush at all, like you said better to be later & 100% spot on than sooner & only sorry afterwards.

lui Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6187/hfs5mqn5.jpg Shot with Canon EOS D30 at 2007-08-14 A little more info on this top piece of kit waiting to be fitted to my car as well :eyebrows: Design aim of the HFS-5 water/methanol injection system: In order to maximize of effect of water/methanol injection, the rate of delivery should be closely related to the real time engine operating parameters. The first objective is finding a signal that is comparable to the engine’s cooling/octane demand at the exact moment in time. Finding the signal to match engine’s demand: Load sensors such as throttle position, mass air flow and MAP sensor are a prime signal source of engine load. But without RPM reference, these sensor are only representing a two dimensional impression. For example, MAF sensor without RPM reference only measures air consumption, regardless of gearing or boost pressure. The engine could be cruising at high speed (less stress) or it can be travelling at 20mph on a rally stage under extreme load and high temperature stress. The same chuck of MAF signal cannot represent the engine’s running condition overall. Why tracking fuel injector duty cycle: With the help of the modern engine management system, the same chunk of MAF signal, coupled up with a bunch of signals gathered from sensors such as ‘air temperature’, ‘coolant temperature’ and ‘EGT’ (interpreting the lambda probe’s heater element) and of course, engine speed. It will make an informed judgment when to add or trim fuel depending on the real-time operating environments. The final decision made by the management will be reflected by the duty cycle of the fuel injector. The HFS-5 uses this IDC signal to meter flow. Picking the correct delivery method and hardware to complete the task: We have ruled out the variable pump-speed delivery system for a numbers of reasons. Due to the inertia of the rotating mass, variable pump-speed system is not responsive to the fast changing engine load at various throttle openings and engine speed changes, especially during gear shifts. Flow range is narrow due to limited pressure span. It requires 4x the pressure change to produce twice the flow change. Poor atomisation and pulsating line pressure at low pump speed is an inherent characteristic of such a system. Without consistent droplet size is vital to inlet cooling and even cylinder distribution, one will always tune for cylinder receiving the least cooling, resulting over-injection on other cylinders. HFS-5 chooses the well established method for fluid delivery: Decision was made to employ the ‘tried and tested’ delivery system similar to a fuel injection system to meter fluid flow. A 150W heavy duty pump is made specially for us by Shurflo USA. Equipped with three 125psi internal by-pass valves provides the regulated system pressure. A surge arrestor/accumulator refines the low-ripple further. A high-speed stainless inline valve completes the line up. This valve is capable of flow over a litre of fluid at 125psi. A dedicated controller reads the fuel injector’s duty cycle % and channels it to the inline valve. A dash gauge displays the flow information from a digital turbine flow sensor: Failsafe is serviced by the Aquamist’s proven DDS3 module, which is designed to go further then just detect clogged jet/nozzle and cut hose…..this device can give visual feedback on a partially clogged jet/nozzle. Two switched outputs provide the necessary interface with device such as boost control valve and map switch equipped engine controllers. HFS-5 meets all criteria of a reliable and highly precise fluid delivery system: We believe the HFS-5 is the only fluid delivery system that meets the minimum requirement for achieving full integration into your tuning programme, with absolute precision. Tracking the fuel delivery is the most reliable method to meter your water/methanol flow accurately under the whole engine operating range. Anything short of this means having to tailor your fuel map to compensate the irregular fluid quantity ingested by the engine. Should you decided not to mirror the fuel flow in your future upgrade programme, the HFS-5 system can read a PWM output from a third party engine management controller so a custom water/methanol map can be created. Any more info needed on these units contact Richard at Aquamist on 01273 581007 as they are not yet updated on his web site.

lui Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Any updates Lui, as I have been on holiday Going down phoenix tomorrow to see how's all coming along & getting latest pic's so that I can update thread engine all built up now & hopefully go back in motor Thursday subscribed. Looking very good lui. How much do the aquamist systems go for? I think the new Aquamist HFS-5 kit retails at around £590.00 but basic kits start around £350.00 upwards check out there website for latest prices & kits available think best way to find out.

lui Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Where did you get the pillar pod from Lui? It's all looking nice b0svensson his is a member on here he makes them £75.00 delivered in both 60mm & 52mm they are available in. He has made a direct copy from the original A pillar so should be a perfect fit & even has the leatherette finish in it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
