S2000 Forced Induction S2000 Turbocharging and S2000 supercharging, for that extra kick.

How much boost does it take to crack 500 whp?

How does one of those work? Where do you get one, and how involved is the install?

Check out their site: Aquamist.

They can answer it a lot better than I can. The 2d system is what I am running.

And Phil, I disagree with your statement. The Aquamist is an aid, not a failsafe device. If it "pops off" or stops spraying, your motor should be fine...esp if you've tuned correctly.

im not talking about internally on the engine, if the line pops off under your hood and sprays meth all over the place is safe? Meth is highly flamable so given the under the hood enviornment and the heat cause by the manifold and d/p we run its playing with fire. IMO if you want safe relaible power tune it on the correct Fuel, I understand people want as much power at the pump but it gives me the Piece of mind that my fuel will cool and take care of my motor under the boost I hit it with. and I dunno about you but I dont wanna run under my hood everytime I wanna run high boost to refill a bottle. My ither issue with meth injection is what happens when it runs out? you have no gauge to tell you when your washer res is empty so even more of a way to blow it up

There is no reason to run methanol. Straight water actually works best to prevent detonation from low octane. In the winter you can use about 15% meth to keep it from freezing if you don't live in the artic.

Ah, I see what ur saying now. But I've actually moved away from methanol and am using a 50/50 mix of alcohol & water at the moment. I will prolly move gradually to strait water over the coming months, as fperra has suggested. So the engine catching fire theory is not really a concern. Not to mention, if the line is installed correctly & securely, there should be no popping off.

and I dunno about you but I dont wanna run under my hood everytime I wanna run high boost to refill a bottle.
Not sure what u mean by this. I don't need the Aquamist to run high boost (16 psi). Again, it's for added safety; it's not a necessity.

This is the REAL issue. Right now, I'm just filling the tank with water every month. No way of knowing how full it is with the S, which seems to be the only car in production w/out a washer fluid level gauge.

Whichever ones came with the kit, far as I know.

Do u recommend any in particular? I remember a thread way back that suggested going with different nozzles...

Bigpurp, the link does not have any vendor source..Where is this available from? Also, any maintenance involved or other concerns?

Thank you, Counsel.

Erick
