Great site guys,

I have most of the components assembled for a quality home build WI system that I intend using on a forced induction race car.

I need some input in the following:

The HSV - High speed solenoid valve controled by the FIA2 to match the fuel injector cycles. Am I correct in my assumption?

The FIA2 - Not to sure, but it looks like it matches the fuel injector ccyles of the car??

Do I use a pressure switch to activate and deactivate the HSV or the pump? The pump is a shurflo unit with its own pressure switch already fitted.

I have been trying to source a water accumulator lacally (South Africa), but nobody has any idea of what I am talking about, maybe we use a different term over here, but it is my understanding that it is a simple intrument that is used in the plumbing industry. Does anybody have do it yourself plans for the above?

Where in the system do I fit the water accumulator(pressure of return side)?

Do I need a water accummulator if I have a return line on the system?

Who can I email off board for some pricing information on Aquamist components?

Thanks

Go talk to someone who sells hardware used by folks that pump water from a well. Also recreation vehicles ( caravans in you area?), and boats that have a 12v water supply.

They both use small pressure accumulators to hold pressure so the pump does not need to turn on and off so much. They are a small rigid container about the size of a liter thermos bottle. They have a rubber bladder in them that holds air under pressure. When the well /RV pump comes on it pressurizes the water and squeezes down the bladder. If you use just a small amount of water it comes out the faucet due to this pressure provided by the bladder and the pump does not need to turn on.

Let me look around and see if I can find a link to one.
Here's one so you know what your looking for.
