As title has anyone got a few piks of there aquamist setup plus what size tanks have you guys got and where are they installed? Cheers

no pics to hand but my setup was put on by the previous owner

he used the screenwash tank with vw screenwash (50 percent methanol iirc) pump was mounted by the coil, two microswitches connected to the vac lines switched on at diff boost levels, one sprayed directly onto the IC the other sprayed into the charge line

Just to note- most tracks especially Santa Pod ban direct IC spraying as it makes surfaces very slippy (especially with meth) so you might want to only use that on the road. Methanol is expensive to spray onto the IC though

My pics don't help you much, but I've mounted one jet on the compressor outlet and one at the back of the inlet manifold, 1 litre washer tank mounted where the battery used to sit.

If i fit it yoof can i run the same map with or without meth in the system?
Also what tank do you recomend as that im buyin doesnt come with one but its the aquamist 1s a few on here use
Cheers

A washer tank will do the job. Im looking at running a 2 tank system, small one in the engine bay and a larger one in the boot.

I was gunna run a smallish one in the bay. Im like a magpie i like shiney stuff so i was going to get an alloy one cheers though

Jezza-7

methanol and alloy aren't best friends ;)

gaz g40

Oo ok seen a few with them in alloy tanks. Al fit a small windscreen bottle in instead then cheers

I have seen a few as well but they might be steel.

I think if its a 50/50 mix it would be ok but not worth the risk, could screw the pump over and if its a 1s the pumps aren't available anymore.

pumps sat next to the fuel pump relay (but im going to move it for gravity purposes) with the jet into the boost pipe near to the slam panel.

its all being ripped out shortly and re-done with new wiring/piping etc.
