Default Nozzle Problem

Hi Guys,

new to the forum im running an aquamist hfs2 (circuit board says hfs3) on my 2007 pgti 1.8t stage 2 unitronic.

recently i notcied its using less wm mix or sometimes non

so took everythin apart and found the fault was the nozzle itdelf both nozzles 09.mm and 1mm were totally blocked allowing no water / meth thu

dissasembeled the nozzle and when i removed inner copper swirly piece i found out that somehow both of them wile in use screwed themsleves shut!

this kit was brand new and i am sure its going to screw itslef shut again and im not sure if having a filter will avoid this? (both nozzles have no filter)

what should i do?

tx

The H2 and H3 shares the same cirucit board.

Did you find out what caused the blockage? The recommended procedure on the user manual suggest purging the system until all debris are flushed out of the system before clipping the nozzle in.

Th esystem come with an in-tank filter. Once purged, no need to use a secondary filter inside the jet.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response there was not much debris in the nozzle well not enough to block it.

what caused it to block was the inner piece of the nozzle (copper or brass piece thats swirly in shape and has a nipple at end with outlets on either side) by the looks of it screwed itself so tightly in that it didnt allow any wm out the nozzle.

this happend on both nozzles..

i have put 2 brand new nozzles in from my local dealer...

he says im running on full gain (5 o clock) so could be that there is so much pressure it screwed itself shut..

any ideas?

It would be difficult for the jet to screw itself shut. It is designed to be screwed down to a light-snug fit. All jets come from the factory adjusted this way.

Usually the grooves cut into the side of the brass insert(spinner) get clogged with debris. Make a close inspection of the brass spinner, even one groove clogged will make a significant difference in flow.

thats what i thought... i tried screwing it shut manually after i soaked it in alcohol but it didnt want to so im sure there was some debris that dissolved up in the alcohol...

but i bought new nozzles anyway i tightened the old ones back with a spanner and i stripped the rubber thread that forms a seal over the stainless ITB pipe.. so i guess i may have caused a small boost leak...

new ones are in and hand tightned so no more boost leak
car is running perfect again need to have it logged to make sure im not overspraying cause compared to the old nozzles when the old ones were not blocked...now it is spraying alot i did 2 4th and one 5th gear run this morning and it used abot 1.5 litres or so

temperature at altitude in summer : 26 - 32 degress celcius ( the initial setup and tune was done in winter and gains were set on max then)

have you done any 1.8t stage 2 setups?

car is set to run on mps and also idc i beleive..?

my settings are

threshold: 12 0 clock = 0.4 bar (on boost gauge)
gain: 5 o clock
failsafe: 1 o clock
dim: 12 o clock

thanks

Hi,

thats what i think but my local unitronic tuner says all is fine and i trust hime cause i know quite a few tuner's and this guy really knows his stuff.

with wmi off the car runs without needing to adjust map basically he said he didnt need to even advance timim much at all.

i gained 20whp and 20 nm once i installed the aquamist kit

im not too sure what u mean by direct injection..

1mm nozzle just after map sensor and 0.9mm 4 cm before throttle

car uses std injector size/ setup running on 95 octane unleaded

i logged the car myself and flow rate are in 140g's

usually 4th cylinder adds timing to a max of 6 all other cylinders on 0 but that is after a few runs

im still a little confused on how all this timing works and whether it is good to add timing on all cylinders or just the one well the ecu is adding it on its own from what i can see

on the first run when things are not really cool and i load in 3rd it adds timing on cyliner 1,2 and 4

then on second run a minute later it only adds timing on 4th cylinder
is that because maybe im spraying too much and the 4th cylinder is hot enough to add timing ? and the other 3 are too cold?

i will post logs in next msg
