true, but assuming someone has used it can give us an idea on average how much it would last and under what conditions.

Too many factors and variables. In the WRX crowd I roll with, the norm is a gallon a week. But that's at 14 psi with a Snow kit...others are set for WOT, lower boost, have bigger turbos, etc.

My tuner thought it would be good for adding about 40 whp on the rs (already tuned car). I've been waiting for an install date. The benefits of the additional octane paired with the valve washing seems like a win to me. For regerence, I had it on a previous turbo car and used about a gallon per month but it was a nights and weekends car.

Would love to see one installed, I have yet to install my Snow kit.

Can you run this on the stock tune?

Yes, it will only benefit lower intake temp

Snow and Aquamist have very advanced Systems in their range against the simple AEM system.
Is it worth to invest in the higher priced systems?
I think the more advanced systems are also more difficult to dial in.
If you overshot the with WMI injection then the AFR will go richer but the ECU will correct that, right?

Tuning comes into play big time with WMI, most tune for safety with the additional power. Here is a thread I had many many years ago from Focaljet on my SVT's setup, I believe I hit on the AFR in this if not i'll find it Questions on Water/Meth + JRSC BBK

what was the car mods already. I plan on doing the same thing as I did on the evo 9 and keep the stock turbo with 60% meth 40% distilled water and tune the injection to come on about 15 psi of boost. Since the top end is where the RS Drops of significantly, 40HP more uptop would be perfect. 400 torque with keeping the HP near 400 is golden!!!!

I wonder what you guys think. I decided to stick to this thread instead of starting a new one. For the meth kit i would need to tap the charge pipe about 6 inches before the throttle body and another option is to use something like this 2016 + Focus RS Throttle Body Spacer - Boomba Racing, Inc. it has a side port. But how would this be any good cause that would be after the throttle body.

So....

On the one hand the kits say to inject 6 inches before throttle body and so i wonder what you guys think of using a spacer?

I might just have to drill the charge pipe but it is such a pain to remove it. Went on pretty tight lol.

You can install the sprayer in several different locations and get somewhat different results. The 6" thing sounds right as I think that is where my truck is located on my rs is a bit better. I did direct port and ran the alky system for full meth.

Nice setup how's that working I was just thinking about doing it too I'm running mine just before the throttle body

 

[Snox801]

My eco truck has it right before the body and works amazing. As for this I have yet to run it. It's under construction right now and should be done in time for track day next Friday. I'll post times when done

Has anyone run the Aquamist Kits on these cars? I have an HSF-3.1 From my 04 STI. Now the kit runs off of Fuel flow and Manifold pressure. Is that compatible still with these engines? I'm new to the Ecoboost platform so I'm not sure of all the ins and outs with these. I looked on the Aquamist website, they show a controller for DI engines but, the controller I have, has the port for connection to DI injectors. Do I just need to wire that in and I'm good or is there any other Pieces I need to make this work?

I am in the process of installing an Aquamist HSF4 for direct port injection. I don't know the differences between the 3 and 4 systems to give you an answer. Email Richard to find out. [email protected]

Just picked mine up from livernois with the alky kit installed. Dang totally different car. I am really happy with meth injection on my vehicles.

Are there many risks running meth? Is the engine for prone to damage if you don't run it correctly?
How hard is a standard kit like snow to install? I already have the meth bungs on my CPe piping so just out of curiosity

If you have a pump or line failure and no fail safe wired up, you'll run lean and blow something up more than likely.

There isn't really anyway to run it 'incorrectly' except not matching the nozzle size to your power goals for tuning.

Install is really straight forward, just takes planning to know where you want the tank, to run lines, and where it is injecting. Tune after.

I have the Snow Performance kit and cp-e pipes. Install took about four hours because I went with the larger reservoir and placed it in the hatch.

Unless you ignore the low fluid warning, you have a very small chance of being at the set boost level without meth.

What nozzels size or number do you have?
