When you solder the resistor onto the circuit board. please ensure the body does not touch the circuit to avoid heat-aging to the circuit board. The original resistor comes with two ceramic stand-offs for this puepose.

Ok, Ill make sure the resistor doesn't touch the board and give it some space as well. I will see if I can find some heat protective material to insert between the 2 to shield it.
How hot will it get, any concern in melting the board's plastic box? |

It doesn't get hot unless it is on boost and under the failsafe activation period. The maximum power dissipation is about 2 Watts, at 100***37; Duty cycle. I am sure it will be fine inside the box.
A 3W resistor is good. Heat "aging" rather than heat "burn" is my concern. |

Ok, I have the 3W 39R resistor, nice fat green one
What is the difference between aging and burn? (Excuse my ignorance) |

Hi guys....
Long time lurker, first time poster. Been posting on Aquamist and mailed Richard.....no replies.... Wondering how this HFS system is lined up in the product range..? Is it above the 2D/2S.....? My tuner recommends a 2D, though by his admission had not seen a 2S. I like the 'Plug and Play' plate mount that would seem to cut down installation problems too. Though not seen much about it, apart from the picture on the Aquamist site. I have a Forester STI, which I intend to swap turbo and have a MD321H in place, so around 400 crank HP (or more..) Any suggestions would be most appreciated... Thanks, Mark |

Well personally I have used the 2C, then modified this so as to be come a hybrid 2D. I have used the new bracket which helps with getting the components located. I have not used the Perrin kit but given that its Aquamist I'm sure you would be happy with it....I assume this is what you are referring to as the plug and play kit.
If your in England and you not looking at a radical 100***37; methanol setup stick with what your tuner is familiar with. IMO this would be the 2D, DDS3, and the new mounting bracket, maybe include a priming pump......talk to you tuner usually these people are your best resource. The HFS kits have a couple of things going on. The HFS-X kits use the 150 Aquamist Shurflo pump, All HFS-X kits contain the DDS3 as part of the kit, the HFS kits do better with high methanol injection because of the pumps capabilities, by using the Aquamist Shurflo pumps shipping to the USA is lower, the cost of the Aquamist Shurflo pump is less then the cost of the Aquamist race pump. |

Yeah, it was the new mounting bracket that I was on about when I referred to the 'Plug and play' system. It is on the Aquamist site, but I cannot link as I am too noob! (< 8 posts)

Ok, I installed the 39R resistor tonight and it made no difference to the CEL (engine) light. I noticed that even when I turn the WL clockwise and the B LED goes off, (engine light goes on) the red LED on the DDS3 board stays permanently lit. If I turn the WL anti-clockwise, the B LED goes on (engine light goes off) but the red LED stays on. BTW, the resistor doesn't warm up.
I see that the FIA2 Trigger is linked up to my boost sensor. The question I have is, which contact does it connect to on the sensor and does it replace the original contact wire or is it added to the existing wire. In other words will one contact remain as is and the other is replaced with the FIA2 Trigger wire? |

Have you followed the diagram accurately?
pin11 must go to ECU and pin12 goes to BCV. Please check again. It appear the MAP sensor input pin17 is correctly wired. We can move onto the mAP sensor trigger after we have sorted out your CEL. I have a question, does the CEL comes on when you switch the DDS3 off? |

Thanks for the quick reply.. Yup, As soon as I turn the DDS3 Gauge off, the CEL light comes on a second or 2 later. |

It appeared the pin11 and pin12 is swapped. Try switching 11/12 around.
Where in SA are you loacted? I know someone who can help you if you are in JB. |

Ok, Let me give that a go. Yes I am in Johannesburg so any help would be great! If you want I can call you? (Really desperate to get it fixed)

Hi Mark, I also have a Forester XT (wish it was the STI like yours), and have installed a 2D with DDS3 on the plug and play bracket. It is a great setup and I think you would be very happy with the results. I run 50/50 water/methanol mix and my tuner was able to extract nearly 400 ft/lb of torque at the wheels (around 390 ft/lb to be exact) with a 1mm spray jet, priming pump and 22cc accumulator. My current engine mods are VF39 turbo, Perrin TMIC, 740cc injectors, fuel pump, exhaust, Cobb AP, etc. HFS is supposed to flow a lot more and you can run higher mixture of Methanol to for even higher power output. As of now, I go through about a gallon of 50/50 mix per tank of gas using the stock winshield fluid bottle. Maybe I'll upgrade to this once I get a larger turbo later on. Good luck Peter Last edited by singlefin; 06-26-2007 at 04:21 PM. |

Hi Richard,
Just got back from your contact (G) in JHB, Great Guy! Thanks very much for all your help in getting my system up and finally have it working the way it was designed to. You were right regarding the swapping of pins 11 and 12. Only confusing thing is it seems opposite to the diagram. Could be wrong. I also found it interesting about the flow rates related to temp and how the pump needs to warm up etc. G also explained how, when on boost there is pressure back on the flow of water from the injector. When the boost decreases the flow rate increases slightly. I am going to re-eval my water by possibly adding a % of meth to it, especially for the summer season. 1 Question I raised with G tonight on the way home was that I picked up that the engine light is now very faintly glowing. It continues to glow at the same level even if I turn the gauge off or on. Have a good evening and again thanks for all your help and to G for providing his time and insight in to helping resolve my problems. Aquamist is an awesome piece of kit and a definite must! |

sorry if this has been asked before but there a LOT of pages to go through
I have a Impreza WRX, running about 1.5bar boost. Through the diagnostics I've been noticing a bit of knock correction at certain loads, when ambient temps are high. I obviously need to get charge temps down. I have retained the standard TMIC as I do not want to go to a front mount intercooler and suffer lag problems. I am therefore considering water injection as a solution. I only want it to eliminate det and not extract more bhp as I have the setup I want, I just don't want to melt a piston when it gets hotter in the summer, traffic probs etc. The question is, what in all truth and honesty is the kit that is sufficient for my needs, and will my map need to be tweaked in order to account for the addition of the kit. |

The DDS3 makes no change on your ECU/BCV connection when it is "switched on! and during normal operations. The dim CEL light is not related to the DDS3. Check your ECU pin-out connect again. The diagram I posted earlier have ECU pin# reference. |
