550 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well what the idea I am getting at is basically controlling the pump based on a more accurate form of input. (Keep in mind I have NO idea what actual values you would use for this, I'm just trying to get an idea across) Say you are at 50% throttle, the pump is off. My understanding is that with the standard setup, say when you hit 55% throttle the pump would go to 50% pressure, then full pressure at above 75% throttle. Keep in mind these values I am making up. With the idea I'm proposing, when you hit the throttle position where it becomes beneficial to turn on the pump, it would turn on the pump to a flow rate that would match the throttle position. IE imagine having a map 3d map where the X-axis is RPM, Y-axis is throttle position, and The Z-axis (The value being looked up using the X and Y-axis) would be the flow rate of the pump. I am only talking about a system of controlling the injection system, not the actual jets etc. I have no clue about that stuff lol I get what you are saying, I just wouldnt go based off throttle position (solely). And I wouldn't control the pump but an injector of sorts. But yeah 3d mapping isn't a bad idea or anything. Aquamist (as well as others I'm sure) have done 3d mappable systems before. And that is highly beneficial especially if you have a large range of RPM and boost to set up different injection rates for. I say go for it, especially since you can do all of it yourself. I would look at controlling an injector for the rate of flow and I wouldn't use the pump to determine the flow rates. I would have it set to shoot 150 PSI (or whatever) and use the injector to vary the rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Something like this: Take this link all the way down until you see the pic of that valve and they have an alternative. http://procedetuning.com/BMW/n54/methanol/methanol.html This link is pretty decent: http://www.srtforums.com/forums/f189/alternatives-aquamist-hsv-514719/ Although it appears companies are moving away from the HSV's (High speed valves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Since the bumpers are so easy to remove on anything newer than an 850, putting it in the frame rail works well. It's hardly a high maint item. I bought aquamist parts for the fittings, lines, nozzles, direct from AquamistUSA; they won't sell you a kit, but individual parts are no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbodor3 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 hussein that's a much better location than where I ended up putting it. In fact, I'm going to move it tomorrow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
