Kelalper Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Thanks a lot. Also many thanks for how to. I am gonna mount a water spray system. I dont think that i can find a bigger intercooler in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis3265 Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 i have a question about running an MBC in conjunction with the Upsolute ECU. will boosting 1-2psi over what the car will be boosting with the Upsolute software trip the check engine light?im planning on chipping my ecu next week and havin an MBC installed as well to boost just a little bit more, but i dont want a CEL on because of it.

Junior1568908558 Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 The danger with this type of tune is that the heat inside the engine increase quite alot.. the harder you push your engine, and more heat above the pistons you have... and chanses for the pistons to melt is 50 % bigger. We have had 2 members with a complete engine melt-down, if u are gonna use this.. please install a turbo gauge so you have control. otherwise its gonna be expensive! Trust me..

How about Water Injection. I don't wanna sound like an aquamist commercial, but if you guys run a lot of boost an heat is the first danger, cool it!

Junior1568908558 Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 'm not suer it will work with the boost control. True its the heat that is the first danger but its because the wastegate wont let go with the pressure from the turbo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True its the heat that is the first danger but its because the wastegate wont let go with the pressure from the turbo...Aquamist test results:Lowers cylinder temps by as much as 300 degree Fahrenheit = 148.8888889 degree Celsius. If it cools cylinder temps it's a step in the right direction. The unit is programmable(by boost levels) so you can optimize when you want water injection to kick in. Will work with a boost controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S40_Flyer Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 How well does that aquamist or whatever work? Are the gains worht it, I mean, obviously they help some since you have it installed, but what are the gains... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the gains worht it, I mean, obviously they help some since you have it installed, but what are the gains... Compared to an upsolute chip, in terms of HP/dollar it's too expensive.Just installing WI won't gain much. If you add a lot of Methanol it might. The gain is that you're able to increase boost pressure further than without WI. The knock-limit is raised because of the water, timing can be adjusted.I mainly have it for peace of mind. Future tuning would/could really benefit from WI.Check out the WI forum, lot's of people adjusting air/fuel ratios, inceasing boost and gaining a lot of power. But just adding the WI add's some power, but not much.http://www.waterinjection.info/phpBB2/Still, I love it! (despite the reservoir problems I had).JanisThose 1.5bar people, they NEED it.

Kelalper Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 what about electronic boost controllers.Have you ever used them. I am thinking to buy Apexi turbo timer and boost controller units. But i hesitate for mounting the boost controller. I dont know what extra parts i need for mounting it.
