Couldn't you (big howe) and Jan do a similar video showing a similar test showing how much more control you have etc etc?

I must admit I thought by the title that this was all about the RMW system videos price etc etc

The pump on the left is the Aquamist pump and a solenoid, basically a single stage system.
I guess Jan could just turn this into an infomercial pushing sales of his product, but I think the intent is to educate people on the basics and differences in the systems as a whole. I can probably perform most applicable tests and make videos, but frankly this has been hashed out and beaten to death on other forums for years now. The MINI community is at the beginning of the educational/experimentation process so it may be best to lay everything out for folks to formulate their own decisions.
I'm sure Jan will have something to add.

I picture an RMW factory being an all white sterile underground lab with a team of engineers walking around with white lab coats, glasses, beakers, micrometers and a wall of computers with blinking lights, testing top secret technology.

Sorry I'm having a senior moment here, but I thought the title of this thread was RMW Water/Meth Kit ?

Thus I presumed that we were going to see pics of the RMW Water / Meth Kit, pricing, data logs of IAT, dyno results, 30-70 30-90 in 3rd etc etc, pdf of the manual etc etc.

I thought there was already a water/meth discussion going on here;

Yeah I thought the thread was regarding the debut of a RMW water/meth kit too. Oh well it's still only January and cooooool! With that RMW has a few months to prepare and release its MINI water/meth kit!

I'm sure if you ask Big Howe I guess he'll be a "manual downloader" and proberly uses this for reserching potential products to buy and also gives him confidience off the product taht its the best one on the market for the price.

Here is a picture one of the upgraded tanks that are already in cars
and a log of a run so you can get an idea of how it cools

Base pricing $900, yes it is the HFS-5 system, with the HFS-1 available as well. Tanks and custom setups are extra.


We have tested numerous manufacturers kits and none of them had the quality we were looking for or the effectiveness on the MINI. We have also commissioned them to machine special AN fitting for the entire system as well as offer compression fittings, a nice upgrade over standard items from other manufacturers. Aquamist is also working closely with us to construct some tank/pump mounting systems specifically for the MINI, these should be ready shortly. All of these items, in conjunction with the testing we have done on the system to get it working quickly right out of the box, and our ability to provide the best tuning solution makes it the best choice on the market.

So would that tank pass NHRA tech as there is no firewall or would you still have to build one around it?

What about roundy roundy rules ?

you need to talk to your sanctioning body. The tanks we have run on the road courses have had no issues. Best to find out before you order the tank

The HFS-1 is a single stage fixed spray system. It has all of the fail-safes and other features of the HFS-5, but with a solenoid valve. The HFS-5 removes the solenoid valve and adds the high speed(fuel injector style) valve.

$750
Comes with all that you see in the picture except the gauge. There is a special mounting plate also that locks into the D-rings in the back.

This is setup to take out of the car in 2min

It can be done cheaper but removal will be much more difficult
