BIG 928

i get through about 5 litres in 20 minute races, interesting spartan thinks we should get thru more, im going to look into this, i was getting lower temps than before i used it but may not be getting the full potential of the aquamist!

thanks mark

A little is better than nothing! I just try to maximize the amount you can flow through without driving the AF ratio down too low (which also depends on meth vs water mixture). A big limitation is the size of the tank. If you only have a 1.5 gallon tank and need it to last 30 min then you of course cannot run a larger knozzle size. However if you have a 2.5 gallon tank and are using only 1 gallon in a 30 min session you have room for more flow imo.

Big 928 lives in Brummieland.
Ambient temperature rarely gets above 65 degrees.

If I were still tracking I would look at this system. Seems like a great idea.

Spartan, is it true that this Aquamist system will allow you to drive the tires right off the rims?

Good thread--thx to all. Several questions -- what fuel usage are you seeing on the track? Quote per minute,minutes in typical session etc .I am interested in both 993TT and 996TT engines. Can you tell me the amount of fuel and the same session/time amount of aquamist mixture.What mix and type of fluid is being used? what is the range of choice?
Last question-- would this work with E85? lets presume it was specific tune for it.

? E85 instead of water

At some point it must be the same as running really rich, I don't know much about these things but I understood most of the fuel used at wot was for cooling and not as fuel per se.

Spartan

lol YES. Its also bc I drive flat out

Spartan

E85 is awesome in so many ways BUT you are limited in that there are not alot of E85 stations. Unless you are taking a drum of it with you to the track you can get stuck and a e85 setup car can't run regular fuel (i think).

If tracks had e85 like they all have 100 or 110 I would run it

hey scott i gotta agree, we have crap weather in general. last year we had two meetings at anglesey and two at silverstone that had 30+ deg c air temps and our annual trip to spa usually reaches 32/34deg c in june. so in a hour race there i need the aquamist. its just a bonus to cool the charge when its cold and windy the rest of the time in england!

Do you mean as well as aquamist> ? I am interested in that combination.

actually yes you can run both E85 and gas. It's not cheap to do but it's being done. You need to run a different EFI system that can do it such as a Motec. Then you use a GM sensor that they use in all of their new flex fuel vehicles that monitors the ratio of E85 to fuel. then your EFI will adjust the map and timing based on that. It's an amazing setup in my opinion. of corse you need the proper fuel lines and injectors as well. Sorry for side tracing this thread.

Spartan

I don't know anyone personally that's mixing it. They either run a 100 percent e85 setup or not at all. Glad to hear its working for you though. I want motec really badly ME5 sucks

It's not meant for mixing. It's meant to be used mainly as an E85 set up but if you get stuck with no E85 available it will run perfectly fine. as well E85 is not always E-85. it can vary on the amount of eth. the sensor will see to it that the map and timing adjust for the ratio in the tank. I LOVE E85!
