HFS-4 Q&A, application for your engine...

Would this be a good option for the R53 Cooper S MINI? Or is the HFS-3 better suited? Obviously at the GB price, the HFS-4 works out better value.

The H4 can do everything the H3 does plus more. During the gB period, it is a better choice.

I have read the one thread about the HFS-3 install and believe there were issues with jet size. Would I get correct jet size supplied if I advised what car it is going in when ordering?

And lastly, due to the carbon build up and high IAT's on the R56 turbo mini I am hoping such install would alleviate this. Would I be correct in thinking that fitment would then need that the usual pre-requiistes for the mini like a better FMIC and OCC fitment would no longer be necessary with an aquamist install or would they compliment such an install?

Sorry for all the questions !!!

We have a 35 or so page instruction manual which makes the install relativley easy. We had a GB for the tanks on a MINI forum here a while back and most found it not too difficult. Usually the jet is tapped in the up pipe from the IC so you will still get a coating of oil in the IC. It should help the carbon buildup in the intake valve area. The IAT issue is addressed well, but depends on the fluid used.

I will talk with Richard about jetting. He might not be able to swap jets in the GB kits, but I will inquire. Usually that work is done here when the unit is shipped as a system.

Thanks Jeff.

So guess I should be able to fit the HS-4 myself if I follow the 35 page guide and take my time.

Also looks like I should still fit the OCC so that I make sure any oil vapour is still collected and run the FMIC I haven't fitted yet to keep things working with air for lower IAT's when the Aquamist is not engaged.

If you can still PM me the dimensions (unless on your site) of the mini tank I will check it still fits around my false floor housing amps.

You would need 10mm from the centerline of the vertical cargo ring towards the center of the car to clear the unit side to side. Form the vertical center of the ring about 35-40mm to the trunk floor, pretty close to the carpet.

So what size jets come with the kit? I couldn't find that info anywhere.
