No Vauxhalls in my fleet. My father-in-law is Mr Vauxhall himself and he's ensured all the family get them - even on of my daughters has a Zafira. If I got one, I'd never hear the last of it.... :rolleyes:

To my eyes association is nine tenths of the law - you're almost guilty.

More Evil Twin-nery

12 litre boot water/methanol tank - shopping car position. Note it's removable for easy fill.

*It's a condition of my breakdown cover that I carry a spare wheel.

Water/methanol tank in trackday position.

P1040182.jpg


Water/methanol safety solenoid with mbc attached. (Evil twin installation comprises a chopped length of car aerial to support the mbc) In the event of a low wmi flow, the solenoid allows boost to bypass the mbc, limiting boost.

The Safe Injection module of the wmi. This monitors flow and controls the solenoid.
(Evil Twin mounting bracket formed from a nice piece of Dural that came off a Thermorossi kitchen range I had a few years ago :cheeky: )

There are red and green LEDs above my Nomad pillar mounted boost gauge to show what's happening. I'll probably fit a flow gauge at some point.

The safety system is working fine. I just need to figure why the wmi itself is not working at the moment :hide: It worked before Iinstalled the safety system and it works with power applied direct to the pump. The wiring f*ckup fairy visited, I think.

Hey dave, car is looking mint! Here in the Netherlands it snowed a lot as well the last few days and frankly i hate it...makes everything slippery and absolutely dirty.

Anyway was wondering about your water/methanol system. I recently bought a G60 which has a Aquamist system fitted to it, but I am unsure about the working of it and filling it.
I was told it needed a mixture of methanol and distilled water. Is this what you use, and if so at what mixture?
Furthermore, did you use regular silicone vac hosing to lead the mixture through?

this is my set btw on the right, now running off the window jet reservoir (can't begin to imagine why someone would do that tbh; so will deff be changing that shortly!)
