Aquamist questions

[vwmk3jon]

Need to buy some vacuum hosing and high pressure poly tubing for my kit.
Where'd be the best place to buy it from?

How do you measure the nozzle size and what would be the best size to use?

The nozzle goes into the boost pipes after the intercooler. Am i best of drilling a hole into my boost pipe (its metal) and screwing the nozzle in?

ERL (aquamist) sell nylon tubing which is what I use with mine, since it's an ERL kit anyway.

You can also get the nozzles from ERL, 0.3mm is what people tend to use on g40s. 

Yeah screwing it into a hole drilled into a solid pipe is the best bet.  If you use an ERL nozzle you need to get an m8x0.75mm thread tap which can be bought from ERL again or off ebay.

Mines a coolingmist kit so not really a proper aquamist kit (but does the same thing).

You think the nozzles will be the same? I got 3 nozzles with mine but have no idea what size each one is!

Looks as though the kit is from here: http://www.coolingmist.com/pagedisplay.aspx?feature_key=parts

is the cooling mist kit just as good as the aqumist kit as its a damn sight cheaper and includes a tank !! or is the aquamist alot better kit ??

[vwmk3jon]

I cant give you an answer on that as i got my kit pretty cheap off ebay! I didnt get a tank though so need to find one (preferably a shiny one).

[dub-disaster]

i got a shiny tank for sale in the classifieds at the moment!! have a look, let me know how it works out cause this kit is cheeeaaap!!

[vwmk3jon]

Mine was well cheap - £120 
i'll have a looksie at the tank and let you know.

will silicone pipe be affected by methanol?

[vwmk3jon]

...and am i right in thinking the boost valve cotrol thing would be best off being inserted into the pipe from the ECU?

[hayesey]

no dont put anythign in the pipe to the map sensor

someone explain aquamist on a g40 pleeeease 

[lance]

it squirts a fine mist of water into your boost to lower charge temps to save your engine from heat mainly for saving your valves, once mixed with methonal it gives you peformance advantages.

interesting...thanks

it's a good way of suppressing detonation, the methanol burns slowly and in a controlled manner meaning that you can have more ignition advance with high boost and hence more power.  And it also reduces inlet temps too.
