HFS-3 Install #1
I am now in the process of installing the
Aquamist HFS3 water/methanol injection system. This is the first of mulitple posts documenting the installation.
The installation is going to include the following items;
1 -
Aquamist HFS3 kit
1 -
Aquamist 806-280 Water Level Sensor Kit
1 -
MadDad Ultra Basic Series 52mm Boost Gauge
1 -
Subtle Forester - Ashtray Gauge Bezel
I am using the stock windshield washer reservior and will inject -20 degree F. washer fluid. I am using AutoZone -20 fluid, which is 32% methanol/68% water.
Today I installed the gauges in the Subtle bezel and then installed the cluster in the console. The gauges are not yet connected - that will be the last step when I install the main Aquamist controller in the glove box. The photos below show the cluster installed. The LED holder between the gauges will connect to the 806-280 secondary water level sensor, which will be installed about 2/3 of the way down in the washer reservior to give advance warning of when the level is getting low (before the primary float level switch is reached and activates the Aquamist failsafe that drops boost to wastegate level).
The next planned step is to remove the front bumper and (1) install the float level and pump inlet hardware in the reservior; (2) mount the pump next to the reservior; (3) install the FAV (Fast Acting Valve) and (4) install the tubing from the reservior to the pump and from the pump to the FAV. Hopefully I will do that next weekend.
