Hollow pockets indeed Graham!

Excuse my ignorance but what are the benefits of both of those things you have done?

Lawrence

Yeah, where did you get the blankets from?

Bondy

Here is the Item number on eBay, they fit the T28' housing on my GT28's, the advert claims they fit the T25 as well but I guess they might not be as tight a fit. There are more expensive options out there but I thought the manny from hong kong was worth a punt.

When I received them I thought no way, far too big for my turbos, also sent an email to that effect and the guy refunded me £25 then offered a full refund, then I tried to fit them and they are a perfect fit, whoops, great feedback given though.

Water meth injection is a great modification and will definately protect your engine, not only are you cooling the combustion chamber but you are now running on the equivalent of racing fuel, which makes your AFR so much safer...its on my most wanted list..no matter what the temps or what the IC is doing, the intake temps will be constantly low.
Did you go for the boost activated system or the Aquamist which is linked to the injector cycle?

The turbo blankets will also slow the cool down process of the turbos after a run, but the difference to underhood temps will be big.

I really like that centre console, thats not the same that Steve got made is it?

The water/meth is controlled by the boost level, it starts injecting at 10 psi and increases frow upto peak boost of 22psi. I can adjust the start and peak points though. So it's only using water when im 'on it'.

The dash was done by Steve, I just gave a drawing of what me and Rob w wanted for the button layout.

Mike, there is a green LED on my dash to let me know the water level is low.

Car wasn't mapped with the injection to make power, it's just to cool and protect.

Graham

Where did you get your dash warning lights, I've been looking for some like that.
Thanks

Why have a warning light when you can stop the det and have all the other benefits......

I have no idea if this is where the OP system was bought but this is the manufacturers site.

Form what i have heard spraying just water in to the intake WILL cost power! just think what water does to a fire, absorbs the energy and 'cools' the fire down, same thing will happen inside your cylinders. the water absorbs the energy as the fuel burns and slows the flame front down. this slower flame front is much less likely to dept. and therefore you have a higher dept. limit. So you can a dd a bit more boost and some more fuel and you are making more power.

Meth is different as its actually a fuel. With 'meth injections', asuming you are injection several feet from the intake port, you are using the evaporation of the fuel to help cool the intake temps. if you are spraying a good amount of meth you can get intake temps below ambient. Its a bit like the old carb guys with blow through turbos. Manifold temps would be VERY low as the fuel is evaperating in the intake manifold and absorbing the energy.

Methanol has a pretty high octane rating (106-109 i think) so you will be adding SOME octane. but dont forget that its only going to be what 10% of your total fuel delivery (by volume). most of the benifit will be due to the cooling effect NOT the added fuel/octane!

Alot of the guys in the states run 100% meth and dont tune for it. You will make more power up to a point (AFRs start to drop too much), and have nice cold intake temps. Think a mixture of water and meth will give the best results but you would have to tune for it.

From what i have heard this method of cooling the intake / adding dept. resistance was started in WW2 in aero engines. The merlin / Griffin engines used to spray masses of ADI fulid (water meth mix (approx 50/50 i think)) to make more power.

I'm pleased some Nobles are running water injection these days after being flamed for even suggesting the idea 2+ years ago!!
