| With our upcoming SZ dyno day fast approaching, I am going over things and redoing some stuff. Seems I've been out of the WI game too long since I installed my kit a good 7-8 years ago. Looking for opinions on what I should do. I have a very old Snow kit. About 9 years. It was given to me for free. But back then they had an even larger nozzle mess than they do today if you can believe that. So I picked up the Aquamist nozzles and some other parts, basically using only the Snow pump. But my pump I think is only a 125-150psi unit (like I said, old). I was running the largest Aquamist nozzle size they had. But that was my old motor. Way different set up now with this motor but I have never really ran the WI too much with it and this will be my first dyno tune with it. I seem to use my set up way different them most people today and that is where my questions are coming from. I have the pump which goes to a Shurflo accumulator. This has a pressure set of 125psi. It then goes to a on/off solenoid for the liquid, then splits out to the nozzles. The on/off solenoid is connected to a boost sensor. So when I hit the desired boost setting, it opens the solenoid and the liquid flows. Now the way my system works, the pump turns on only when the system pressure drops below the pump setting. So I can actually inject liquid a few times before the pump has to come on because of the pressurized accumulator. After looking at set ups today and talking with a few people it appears most people use it as: the pump turns on and that's what sends the liquid to the nozzles. My system is already pressurized and ready to go so I only have to open the
solenoid. So when I use it enough to drop the stored pressure, the pump kicks on to bring it back up. But it's not used to send liquid to the nozzles themselves (unless I'm boosting down one hell of a straight long path). Hopefully that makes sense. So I'm going to be using the Snow nozzles now on this new 2.5" piping set up. I'm wondering if I should get one of the newer 200+ psi pumps of today and have it go right to the nozzles or if my set up will be fine still and we can tune
around it. I really like not having the pump come on every time I need to use it, but if its better that way I could change it all out. I would also get rid of alot of extra stuff I have (accumulator, on/off solenoid, extra tubing, etc). Thoughts, opinions?
