I would be careful about using windshield washer fluid. The dye in the solution will clog your nozzle. As for quenching the system due to leakage, it would be near impossible due to the position of the water/meth tank (gravity would work against you).

I have a buddy with an Audi who put a 2 1/2 gallon JAZ tank in his trunk, and ran a line all the way to the engine. With this setup, he got almost 3 to 1 ratio between tanks (gas vs w/m). Some people use the ww tank as the storage for the stealth look, and some cars will let you know when the fluid is low.

As for the programmable ecu issue, the stock ecu should be able to adjust accordingly (within limits of course), so if you were running the minimal settings on the WAI you shouldn't have a problem. The ecu would just adjust as if you were using high octane fuel. This is why people with pinging issues (all us Cali peeps with crappy 91 oct) use this setup.

I am picking up my brand new MS6 this weekend :love: so I may be the next forum member installing this setup.

just wanted to inject some reality in there for those that want to see big dyno #'s....it's more about drivability and safety.

The only people who would actually see a big difference with the stock ecu are people who do not have access to 93+ oct fuel.

My buddy's Audi uses the REVO system which allows you to adjust timing and boost so that you can fully utilize the WAI.

I'm not an expert on the Mazda ECU, so I do not know how "adaptive" it is. From what I read so far about the octane issues though, it does appear that the car is very much affected by it.

umm... pdt166, torque is a measure of force, (dynomometers aka dyno's measure torque = force x leverage, in laymans terms), HP is not a measurement, it is the resulting calculation of HP=((torque x rpm)/5252) which represents a historically and socially accepted unit of measure that references the equivalent number of horses (animals) that would theoretically be pulling your vehicle. However, as we all know, our cars aren't actually drawn by real horses (animals) so HP doesn't mean anything usefull. TQ is the only number you should be worried about. That's why a car with 200hp at 7500K can't keep up with a car that makes 200hp at 4K. because it puts out less torque. Please do some research before posting something like that because you're contributing to mis-information on the web and this is a big no-no. :slap:
