right im looking at aqua mist kits as ive decided that i want to run one
What kits are you guys running?
there is one here on maxrpm
http://www.maxrpm.de/Boost-Cooler-Wasser-Methanol-Einspritzsystem-Stage-2-aufgeladene-Benzin-Motoren-bis-15-Bar-Ladedruck-speziell-fuer-K03-K04-Turbos-Kompressoren-G-Lader_1
there is also one on there for 100 cheaper but its controlled by boost pressure were as this one is controlled by the map sensor readings
anyone had any experience with these kits or is there another solution to run on a g40
thanks
I used to have an Aquamist 1S system but the pump seized up and they don't make it anymore (plus spare pumps are/were very expensive). It's just a boost pressure simple on or off system, no mapping or control. I now have one of those devils own ones which is basically the same thing but cheaper.
Hav u got a link to were you got it from? We're abouts did u place the jets I think I'm gonna put one in the back or the inlet mani and one before the IC?
ive got a devils own for sale in the for sale section
I'll have a look :)
I think I'm gonna get a new kit tbo just so I hav a starting point
Anyone know witch kit to get just a stage 1 devils own one?

I'm guessing I'll need the one from 6-30 psi?
Ryan you told me not sell my G, now I'm telling you don't get aqua mist
Spend it on NOS instead :)
when i go turbo i will run nos but aqua mist will do for the mo
i just need to know what kit to run before i buy it don't want to get the wrong one as the are three types on the devils own site all with different pressure switch ranges i haven't a clue what one to get someone help :)
what are you guys useing out of the three on that link?
when i was gonna go down this route i spent months getting info on it and then decided against it. It was too expensive imo and wasnt a lot of gain with a supercharger.
You can use the 2-10 psi as well. Depends when you want the water meth to kick in.
I'd get the 6-30. You don't want it below 6psi and being able to go up to 30psi means you can still use it if you go turbo etc... IIRC I set mine about 15 psi.
True there's little gains to be had with the g-lader but it's worthwhile with a turbo running higher boost, allows you to keep the ignition advance forward at high boost.
Ignition advance forward so u mean more advance?
Ohh yeah, it was James who told me not to get it, not you :( my bad

yeah
Mines a mixture of kits ive brought. Small tank mounted to the bulkhead in the engine bay i got off ebay and pipework i got free. Just got to fiddle with the pressure switch.
Just thought I'd give my 2P worth on this.
I think back in the early 2000's I was one of the first to run an aqua mist system on the G40 and had many an argument about its effectiveness etc.
I did used to run a methanol mixture in mine most of the time which did make a huge difference. It has become rather pricey in the few years since I bought a kit so can see why it is less likely to attract buyers.
NOS and Aquamist are two different things I hope you are aware, one is more about preservation of an engine and engine running temps and the other well kind of does the opposite :-)
I used to run my mist in the boost pipes before the temp sensor so it would cool the air on it's way into the manifold rather than having it directly into the inlet which I also believe made a difference.
Only thing I will leave you with is this, when I had my last engine it was running about 165-170 BHP on 1272cc standard block and I always ran a jabba sport chip with standard injectors so some would question how I never melted a piston? I watched at least six of my mates melt their G40 pistons in this time and my engine was solid, maybe I had the mist to thank for this? who knows.
Anyway Mist I'd say is essential for any high powered charged engine which is being asked to go over and above the normal working parameters (most G40 standard blocks over 150 BHP).
