Aquamist HFS3 installation my experience

Last week i got my Aquamist HFS3 water/methanol injection kit from EPL and IPD Y-pipe from AwdMotorsports. First of all i want to thank both companies for their great products and service. And a big thank you to Dave and Tony at EPL for their great support, i wouldn't had it installed without them. Thank you guys.

Complete installation took us around 18 hours, have in mind that i used the old AEM fluid tube which is the same in size and matterial. Installing new lines would take another 5-6 hours of work.

Here are some pictures of installation process

Some more pics of the installation, i made an aluminum bracket where i installed the pump (i copied EPL) The difficult part was to define which ECU cables to connect on the control unit.

I did a few tests on my stock Y-pipe about where to install the jets, i tried to install them on the bottom side but as Dave said the engine belt would be very close to them. So i finally installed them on the front sides of the IPD Y-pipe. Another importand thing is to make a new gauge cable because it will not be long enough to reach the glovebox.

The fast acting valve (FAV) was installed under the bracket where the engine boot locks

If you are plunning to use a water/methanol kit Aquamist is a top quality product to go with. I can provide you with valuable information to skip dificulties and save time. I hope this will help you.

I installed the HSF-3 because this is the one EPL recomended to me.
