The subframe/plenum is going to be a slow process but I have had one bit of light today in the "how do I get all this stuff in here?" direction. First off the battery, w/m injection pump, w/m controller, CDI, rectifier, 4liters of plenum space and a w/m tank, all have to go in the space, what I thought was a bit of progress was as I was intending making a silencer to go under the engine the space for the silencer as it normally is could be taken over by the water/meth injection pump. Great, it will limit runs to non rainy days but it's probably going to be that anyway, I'm not the keenest ever on rainy days as we only have one kind of rain on this little island and it's the cold kind.
One question, how much water meth mix will go in with every litre of fuel? I think I saw somewhere it might be 20-1 roughly, is that close????? The tank is around 17litres I think and I'd like to make the w/m tank enough to do two fills of the tank, which if it's 20-1 would be doable.
So to keep some momentum going I messed around with the intake tube for a bit. I got a 2 1/2" aluminium tube the other day but all I could get was stuff with a 3mm wall, a bit thick for what I was needing so I bored it out to just under 2mm and I need a bung for the water meth jet, it's got a 1/8bsp thread so I got a tap for that and made up a bung and drilled a hole to weld it into the pipe
Welded it in
Now that's not the prettiest weld ever but there's no holes and it's not going to fall out, that thin aluminium is not the easiest to weld.
Here it is, with the w/m jet in place, the blue hose is a 90 bend neoprene hose cut in half and turned so you get a dogleg of hose, which was needed to clear the upper shock mount.
So there it is the AEM kit recommends the jet goes a few inches behind the throttle plate so this should push all the buttons for that. I will make a door on the plenum so I can get to the jet later if needed.
