Any topic on the HFS-6

impatient answer testing :lol:

[turbojack]

Just because Aaron posted I want to be a part of this as well.

[Richard L]

I want to post also.

[Pit Viper]

Richard, I have a question pertaining to my particular setup. With the adjustability of the HFS-6 in terms of duty-cycle vs. fuel, which nozzles would it make the most sense to use in my direct-port setup? I currently have (4) 0.4mm nozzles, and (4) 4-scroll 0.3mm nozzles. I will be running 450cc injectors.

Two reason for this thread:

1. I have not been playing around with those control panels for a while, so a quick test post was the order of the day. :?

2. I have not been able or learn to delete this thread, so rather risking in crashing the entire forum, I changed the heading of this thread. :oops:

[turbojack]

JETS = Aquamist

Nozzles = those other people

[Richard L]

I can use both terminologies :cool:

Richard,

How much better do you think my atomization will be with the new 160psi pump vs. the older 125 psi pump? I am running a direct port system with (6) .4mm jets.

Thanks, and I can't wait to install my HFS-6!!

-George

[Richard L]

I am sure the atomisation will be better, have a look at the chart below.

6x 0.4mm, wow is it for an infinite? Post some pictures. Don't forget ro use a secondary 30micron filter. I have signed in the my350Z forum, you are pretty busy there, especially your 1000whp project!

[George@GTM]

Thanks for the chart Richard, Yes its going into my G35 it is a stroked 4.15L VQ with APS Extreme twin turbo, I don't feel like spending money on 100octane fuel when direct port water injection will do much more than 100 octane with out paying $8-10/Gal.

I am only running 100% distilled water and plan on running 20-25% W/F ratio. My friend Gurgen and I are the only ones with this setup as far as I know.

I will post some pictures of the progress when I get the jets in :)

Going for 700rwhp on pump gas :D

Hi Richard

I am building an STi for the street, running a twin scroll GT35R with Motec M800 for engine management.
Should I integrate the HFS-6 to be controlled by the Motec? Or does it have to be run standalone?

Cheers
Dennis

[Richard L]

The choice is completely up you. I suggest running the HFS-6 as it is for the time being, IDC mirroring + trim.

If you use motec map, you may have to add all sort of air/engine temperature compensation, acc/decel enrichment and road speed correction etc. Make it a more complex affair.

[Pit Viper]

So, what happens with the GB after our deposit is paid? :D

[turbojack]

Richard takes the money and invests in high risk mortgages.......

[Richard L]

You will be called to settle the final payment by CC a few days before shipping.

[Richard L]

No Jack, I took the money and bought Wall Street. :D

Now you can make more money off of your investment by asking for bail out funds on the reasoning that you incurred bad debt in the purchase and you need to cover and profit off of others mistakes.

[Richard L]

Jack, you have exposed my grand scam, in order to extort money from the public, you must make an offer to the government they cannot refuse. Wall street is a better bet than General motors (after careful considerations).

[George@GTM]

Hi Richard,

I have not been contacted yet for a deposit, just want to make sure I wasn't overlooked :)

Thank you,

You are an Aquamist agent so you will only be dealing with BKA inc. A HFS-6 system (GB listed) is reserved and supply via BKA. I have not fogotten you.

[George@GTM]

Thats what I figured, just want to make sure I get my hands on one of the first units, very excited.

Thanks for the quick reply Richard!

-George

[Richard L]

You are quite high up on the list.

[George@GTM]

:D

[MacSTi]

Any updates on possible ship date? for us US customers?

[Richard L]

Shipping starts from second half of March - in the order of GB list. We are doing out best to keep to this.

The HFS-6 is going to be a breeze to install compared to the HFS-5, that is another big plus!!

I would be glad to help you out, just give me a call at the shop with any questions :)

It was a gamble, all depends on how much bail-out money I receive. I am only risking all my cutomers' money :twisted:

[Pit Viper]

I'm just all kinds of excited to get this on. :cool:

[ne1awd]

i read in another post but i cant find it
but were able to change the color of the leds
from what ever we have to another color by changing the leds.
i think it said it will be easy to swap out bulbs. was i reading this right

i just saw a hsf-5 kit on youtube and damn the blue lights lit up the whole inside of the car.

if you sell the bulbs let me know.
or know the the size.

[ne1awd]

double post

[Richard L]

Some people don't use the auto dimming function for night driving. I believe you see one of those. The red bargraph is just as bright at night. I can still change the bragraph colour for you if you wish. Need to let me know soon.

Richard

[precisi0n]

I want my kit :twisted:

The bulb (led) are not easily changeable. It is easier to buy a spare gauge (when available). Gauge is plug and play.

how much $

[Richard L]

We have supplied a replacement gauge at $150 in the past. I think the price will stay the same. We don't have many requestion for this.

[ne1awd]

im next to last on the list but wanted to know if these things were shipping out yet.

[Richard L]

Shipping of teh first batch will be very soon, dependng on the smoothness of the first batch, the rest will follow very soon. Please be patient, we wani to ensure every kit is teasted and inspected properly.

[Zodiac13]

how many are going out in the first batch?

[afgmoto1978]

Richard, I may need you to push my name later in the list. :sad: Will be doing the season opener Redline Time Attack next weekend and may be short on funds from the trip especially if I have to put down $650 for a rental tow rig. :mad:

[Zodiac13]

ill trade spots with him =P

[Richard L]

No problem trading places. I will call people by order of the list, just let me know when I call and I will moving on to the next in line. It will not be cancelled.

We are starting to ship next week from England, someone on the top of the list wshoudl expect a call sometime next week.

afgmotom I will swap Zodiac with you.

[Richard L]

The HFS-6 will be using a different type of fittings to the normal push on type.

It is a combination of compression and barb on the pressure side. Good for the water and 100% methanol.

[afgmoto1978]

Sweetness, thank you!

[Richard L]

On the HFS-6, 90% of the components (inluding mechanical fittings) are new from all our previous kits, so testing each item after assembly is vital for the long term reliability. We rather get blame for being late than sending out suspect assembly.

We have addessed every suggestion from feedback on previous systems. This is a flagship system that we would like to be as perfect as we can.

Here are two new items we have introduced to the HFS-6 system amongst others.


Left: restrictors with orifice facing the direction of flow to reduce clogging. Right: compression fittings

[Pit Viper]

Those look great, Richard. You guys are doing a bang-up job! :D

Will old jets be compatible, or will we need to use new ones?

[Richard L]

No dimensional change on the jets and jet adaptor.

I am not sure if you know that the jet adaptor is available in 1/8NPT.

[Zodiac13]

i'll probably have a local tuner install the kit for me is their anything extra i need to supply for easy install or will everything come with the kit? (05 evo 8)

[Pit Viper]

How's the testing coming along Richard? :smile:

[Richard L]

I didn't realise how much work is involve in getting everything packaged up. Make sure your phone is on for next week.

[Pit Viper]

Richard,

Are all your 0.3mm jets 4-scroll now? I was checking the flow/psi table for jets listed in the HFS-6 manual, and comparing it to the old flow chart I have from when I got my HFS-5. The 0.3mm jet flow is significantly higher in the HFS-6 manual's table.

You can have eith 3-scroll of 4. The I would stick to 4-scroll since the HFS-6 can be rescaled to reduce flow.

[Richard L]

This is the best tank to use, tall and thin, keeping sloshing to a minimum. I think it is also available in 4 and 6 qrts.

Make sure to get a cap for it as well. You would typically think that you get a cap with the tank when purchased, but that's not case.

[Mod Addict]

Any new news? Has anyone received their kit yet? If not can we get an update.

[Richard L]

abnout 25 -30 kits were shipped, more to continue this coming week. Some have already received.

[GGGGGGGG]

[Richard L]

Can you remind me who you are?

[GGGGGGGG]

Actually I bought it from one of your authorized retailers in california. hopefully, you guys are the same.

Have you tried contacting your authorized retailer whom you bought it from?

:shock: *runs out to check the mailbox*

[Richard L]

The first US shipment has landed in new Jersey. Will be re-distritbuted as soon as it is delivered to BKA.

[Holeshot]

I can't wait to get mine, I am having it shipped to NY state, I am from Canada and it is less expensive to pick up and bring it over the border myself. Once I have it installed it will be off to Innovative for a tune in Buffalo,NY.

I spoke to Richard last week so I hope it's on the way soon.
I am Moreboost on the Nasioc Subaru board, just waiting on this kit and then I am all done. I can't wait.

Mark :D :D

[BakZamGai]

Hey folks

I've gotten my RED kit with the accessories required for Port Injection
Yet to find the time to hook it all up for a test but props to Richard for his technical advise and speedy delivery!

Cheers
Dennis

[ne1awd]

anyway to update the list saying shipped so we know when to expect delivery

[GGGGGGGG]

hopefully more shipments will trickle into the US to help the authorized retailers fulfill thier orders. thanks for the update.

[Richard L]

We have now done all the UK shipment and full steam ahead with the rest of the USA orders.

[Zodiac13]

yay im so anxious to get this in. hope to get it soon :mrgreen:

[Richard L]

I believe your system is on the way to you.

[Pit Viper]

Got my tracking number, I'm stoked! :D



....guess I'd better start thinking about how I'm going to install this thing...

[GGGGGGGG]

Richard, sorry to have been nagging you. Do you know, by any chance, if any of the first shipment will go to GTM in California? And how soon it will get there? Thank you for your prompt response. My car has been sitting in their facility for more than a month waiting for HFS-6...........<sigh>>>>>>>

[George@GTM]

We have now done all the UK shipment and full steam ahead with the rest of the USA orders.

Awesome. :D

Can't wait to get my kit :)

-George

[Zodiac13]

yup got my tracking number :D

so ill get the kit next week. depending how how things go ill probably take it to get installed and dyno tuned the following week. cant wait to see what the car will be putting out

[GGGGGGGG]

I think Sam will let me have the kit first. :lol: :cool:

[Mod Addict]

Can we get tracking numbers? At this point I have no idea when to expect the shipment. I hate to just wait and ponder when it will arrive. What's the deal? Can the vendor in the us be contacted who is shipping?

[Richard L]

I will email you the tracking number as soon as the kit is shipped. It is somewhere between England and USA as I wrote. As soon as it has landewd and cleared customs and excise. It will be shipping from new Jersey to their final destination. The credit card will be charged on the same day of shipping. All kits are sent via Fedex ground.

Only at this time, I can email you the tracking number.

[Mod Addict]

Richard wasn't I on the first shipment or is this it? I know you said there was one shipment that was landing last week and I swiched with another person to bump me up to the first group.

[GGGGGGGG]

Richard,

Do you know how many units in the first shipment were shipped to the U.S.?

[Mod Addict]

The first US shipment has landed in new Jersey. Will be re-distritbuted as soon as it is delivered to BKA..

Richard it looks like you forgot me. Because I switched with number 6.

[evo9mr]

i got my kit yesterday. :)

install almost done, only missing going to tap the water tank and install today, will tune at night. :)

yay! :)

[Pit Viper]

mine is set to be delivered today! :D

Of course, still have no idea how I'm mounting it, or a place to put the dds3.... :?

[Richard L]

I am sure you would not approve, but the guage is in.

Plus I'm not sure I can do without every bit of a/c I can get here. :lol:

Actually trying to work out a custom gauge pod right now.

[Richard L]

I am sure you will think or something very special. You should have received your unit by now.

[Pit Viper]

I'm sure it's sitting at home with my wife, while I'm here at work. :sad:
