Another EPL Stage 3 S4 with Aquamist HFS-1 installed

[scheides]

I know it's not a mitsu, but the kit is the same and it WORKS! Thought I'd share my install with y'all...

I just finished up installing another Aquamist HFS-1 Alcohol/Water injection system in Mike Cooper's EPL Stage3 S4. The car previously put down 340whp/390wtq on DB's Dyno Dynamics dyno on teeny K04 turbos. Now it will be breaking 360whp/430wtq with ease. Here's some pics from the install:

Tapping the stock IC pipes:

Installed 2x injection mounts filled with 2x .7mm nozzles, one in each pipe for about 630cc's of total injection goodness:

And re-installed in the car:

Then back to the flow meter and on/off valve mounted under the ECU:

I kept all wiring and tubing runs as clean and tidy as possible:

'Fabbing' up the tank mount:

Pump is mounted under tank nice and sturdy, and wiring loom and 8mm tubing is run though some braided nylon tubing for extra protection:

What alcohol injection system officer? :)

2.5 gallon tank fits perfectly behind this little door, just love how clean this looks:

Mid install, all wires run to where they need to go, time to connect it all together:

Once everything is tidied up, looks a little more like this, with plenty of excess wire for gauge relocation in the future:

'Temp' mount that seems to last forever for most guys :)

Nice, more boost FTW!!

[rose0529]

Looking good! you are becoming the alky kit master!

[polishmafia]

Nice work hiding the tank in the trunk. Good work Scheides!

[turbotalon1g]

So is that thing pretty quick then?

[scheides]

We were doing 80-160 runs to do a basic performance test comparison if that gives you any idea :) I would say a 300-350whp dsm or evo would give this thing a run for its money no problemo until about 100mph, this thing just walks up top!

[turbotalon1g]

Kinda/not really. Sounds like it has some mean top end though.

[Super Bleeder!!]

if it makes 350whp it makes 350whp. How can it walk harder up top than any other car of similar power and weight. Dont you dare bring aero into this!
