....- praised by many but seen as a bit of a bodge rather than sorting the source- expensive but nice neat install- cheapest long term but relies on hole cut in boot floor. I'll be looking to boost around 400bhp. Radtech pre-rad, Bosch cc pump. My set up was proven on Simon hicks 530bhp MR2. I personally wouldn't bother with a boot mount. Long pipe runs, lag and you lose the boot. Not to say the rest are bad, although I'd not consider a boot mount as l use my boot. that way it works with your ecu timing. Aftermarket ECU needed. I've just had mine installed so I'll report back in a few months but initially very impressed. N.B. I'm using 50% water 50% meth... i hope 
Reading about WI vs charge cooler has been interesting, I like the idea of the WI actually having a cooling affect on the cylinder bore itself..... which could have a positive impact for cracking protection. 
might not do the standard style install but the basic idea is the same. it does add a bit more weight but it's not a large amount more and the system works better than an IC and is more reliable than WI, esp for long drives/regular use.pbmr2 wrote:looking at charge cooling my new setup.
nice short pipe run for the boost pipe, super cool charge and little change in intake temps.
(as in person) extra I had as a passenger made a noticeable difference to the cars performance, saying that you could just bin the spare wheel and pretty much break even 
they both felt the extra weight of passengers quite a bit. much less coolant and hose weight but less overall coolant in the system so more possiblity of heat soak and double rads may be no lighter (if not a little heavier) than a larger single. get the keys to the new garage next week 
*I discussed it briefly with trickster off here when I was looking over his car, he has a huge well set up BMIC and said his datalogs show mega low intake temps, I'm sure he said it was better than a CC system he tried, although my memory is a little hazy so I may be wrong'00 Honda CBR600 Follow me on Instagram @c35rob Will have to think of some other ideas and see what fits and maybe even test out a few different ideas before the best compromise is found.craig wrote:Chargecooler.
Probably looking at a custom chargecooler.
Custom top mounted core using 2 chargecooler cores joined together.
Pete will be able to give you the details.
Just my 2p.

Why would you need a chargecooler capable of 530bhp for a ct20 lmao
It was for sale and I bought it, it was a bargain given how much it cost to build. It's a top quality charge cooler with minimal pipe runs and was proven on a 530bhp MR2 so know it's well within the limits for my set up of 306bhp. Plus if ever want more power, cooling is sorted. scoop underneath and all chopping out? Seems a bit extreme! Not come across someone with cracks that's had it installed yet..... there are good failsafe and backups, but the kit is up to 600 quid plus install.androo007 wrote:Still really stuck between these 2 ideas.
Does a boot mount really need the adapted boot lid,
What I do like about WI is the effect is has relating to increasing octane rating and physical cylinder bore temp.
£120 for it, someone else was selling one for £400 so bargains can be found... 
Look at the big builds that have no problems - all run injection. Gts gav, fastasfck etc. Given it not only reduces inlet temp but also actual cylinder temps up to 150 deg that's drastic. Given we have an obvious hotspot by nature of the design of the 3s wall thinness I'm sure I'll be going down that route as a precaution. I have a PP SMIC and Aquamist. Yes it was expensive but rather than a long sad story of a cracked block. A good intercooler and WI imo is sufficient.Martin F wrote:androo007 wrote:Still really stuck between these 2 ideas.

I sold a complete water injection kit, albeit an aquamist 1s on ebay and only got around
I got nervous and tried to cancel it with 20 hours to go but ebay said I couldn't do that, I was well gutted to let it go for so little
£600+ for mine in January 
someone got lucky Side mounts are fine if you have a large one like the one for sale at the moment no problem.£120 w/i kit has been doing me well last couple of years. soon as boost hits, w/i on, temps drop.
