I read that you suggest to mount the connector on the tank an inch up or so on one side. What about mounting it on the bottom of the tank in the center.

If the connect is at the bottom, there is a greater chance of picking up grit and dirt and clogs your filter. If you have no choice, put the connector towards the back of the car rather centre or front. Water rushes towards the back when you are accelerating.

if I am always carfull about filling up with only pure meth, what is the danger of dirt in the tank?

Also it seems like if I have to put the line one inch up, then I can not use the full tank. If i put it on the bottom towards the back, then I would be able to run the tank lower while still getting fluid.

In that case, go for it.

Is it possible for you to put a very small tank between the large tank and the pump, acting as a buffer tank so that you can really use the last drop of Meth.

That would be a pretty cool idea, what is the smallest tank I could use as a buffer?

Maybe I could use this fuel filter, and just pull out the actual filter element

yes

i had same experience, jim or john over there told me that the tank was going out same day then over week later i call and he tells me that the wholes had to be punched out still, but after another 2-3 days, called back and i got a tracking#

so be patient and it will come

P.S, make sure you are calling the right division, theres the 800# and one with extension, try both

$35 plus shipping, I thought that flambeau sold them for less than that.

This is off topic but could the HFS-5 setup work on a Supra TT.

It will certainly help, how big is it?

I think a 500cc plastic bottom or a coke can is ideal. 500cc will last about 1 minute if you are using a 1mm nozzle.

The restrictor is for matching the HSV's inlet orifice to the combine flow of your jets so that the duty cycle % is linear to flow. Without the restrictor, HSV flows too much.

Has anyone finished installing the HFS-5 yet?

Let me rephrase, anyone started it yet?

I have started.

I began to mock up how I am going to mount it in the trunk. I am doing it much like Abner, but I will be using a single 4 quart tank.
I also obtained two .5mm nozzles and the tank for the install.
I am trying to figure out where I should tap for the IDC signal.

I have been pretty busy and it probably wont be for about 3-4 weeks till I get a chance to finish it up.

I have been looking at some of the diagrams of the dds3 that I found online and I think I have determined how I should hook everything up but it seems like there is more then one way to do it so maybe I can get your input.

I have a solenoid such that when power or ground is supplied it will allow me to boost to high boost. When power/ground is not supplied boost will go to low boost.

I want it such that I will run high boost as long as the system works fine, and low boost if the failsafe is triggered. However, I also want to be able to switch off water injection yet still run high boost (lets say I fill up with a tank of race gas, I will adjust my map independently and don't require the dds3 to send any signal to my ems)

As I understand it there is a button on the DDS3 display to turn off the WI, this will also put me in low boost. I need a way to turn off the WI but still supply power/ground to the solenoid. What is the best way to do this?

Another question. The solenoid will be in low boost until the IDC triggers the WI and then once the flow is in the correct window the dds3 will supply power/ground to the solenoid. Lets say during spool up my IDC will trigger the WI at around 3-5psi, will the system react quick enough so that by the time I get to low boost (12psi) the solenoid will be enabled for high boost(28psi). I am on a stock turbo and once it hits 3psi full boost happens very quickly.
