just woundered use uses ands where they put the bits. what kit they used, water jet sizes, and are they pleased.
i used a kit from usa. about £180 all in. pump quite big thou. used 2x 200cc jets. mounted on the apr pipe. might go for smaller jets. after a blast down the road . a boost hose blow off. ( peaks at 1.7/8 bar) and when i looked in to it i had water left in the pipe..?
i have used aquamist before but found there pressure switches to be unrealiable, and would blow fuses once a month. (25amp).

will be, just thinking about which pump, that must be a powerful pump to cope with 2x200cc jets whats it max flow rate and pressure?

I am running water injection. but none of my kit can be seen from above. the kit is a aquamist 2D kit. with race pump. The Race pump it fitted under the ABS pump on original IC mount. 2 x 7mm jets tapped into the APR bi-pipe.

not sure about that. I know that used to make only 2 pumps standard and race pump. they were the same size. But now they offer a uprated race pump that is double the size. Will be looking to change mine to one of theses soon.

dunno/ when i bought it i asked weather the kit wil be able to do the 2 jets . they supplied both jets and the 'T' peice. and i went for the smaller jets. but pushing against 1.8bar peak. the back pessure may be an issue. pump is rated at 150psi.
it certainly uses lots of water!!

yea I read 200cc are a fair size, not done the maths for it but with the info available on the web the jets would only be dribbling into the tract, do you get consistent cooling with that set up?
