Searched and read the posts related to w/m injection that I could find. The one post was missing images that might have showed some valuable info. I'm getting the Snow Performance Stage 2 kit with variable injection, 2 of the 3gph and the safety system add on.

What I need to know is what's the best way to tune for w/m on K03's stock fueling. Also were should I put the nozzles? I have stock bi-pipes. Where should they go?

Now I know I don't have a wideband.
I have used w/m before I understand what you do to tune it. Adjust timing and afr.

What I don't know is how-to on a Audi.

One thread post suggestions was add timing til you see -6 while on pump gas only. That why when you run out you have some safety. Seems simple logic. This ok?

Now suggested was to adjust the map for timing based on continuous knock. Ok. What is a good starting point or what are others using?

Now on my last car we had adjusted the car leaner on meth. I forget what target afr was but my question is what is the new desired afr we shoot for on this engines while on meth?

-Right now I shoot for .85 / 12.5


I only post and ask as many different things were talking about on the threads I found and we're old. So I wanted to see if everyone agrees on going about it the same way or could share newer techniques.

Thanks!

I feel as though you put a lot of effort into your new threads, and that's good. I also feel as though you will never get the answers you want, because every one of them just asks to rehash the same things we've talked about 30000 times before.

I suggest reading. Getting a wideband. Then, taking logs with me7logger, and your wideband, and posting them.

I understand you want to formulate a plan, and get a consensus, but sometimes you just have to get something clear in your mind, and do it without the validation of others.

So are you gonna let me know without more research where people mount widebands on a V6 motor with dual exhaust? I'm not sure and haven't looked. Can I squeeze that out of you. If any of the info I asked was posted elsewhere sorry. I looked for my answers 1st.

Also I asked some basic questions bro. For some reason I'm must be missing some threads. Also techniques change maybe, figured I'd ask. Is wrong to guess that over time and on a engine I'm not sure of tuning wise that I double check. I'm sure someone double checks other people's work. I feel like it's the movie Apollo 13 where like 7 people check the math and say OK on his calculations before he goes for solid burn of the landing module.... Yes I went to Space Camp and the F-1 Saturn 5 engines amaze me..... I got carried away, sorry DD.

Doesn't matter. If you don't suspect odd bank specific fueling issues, no need for stereo wideband.

I always put it on the driver as it gets fuel last, and logic would dictate if there were an issue with fuel delivery, you'd see it there first.

I wasn't putting down your thread. I answer every question here. I was just trying to explain to you why you weren't getting much interest.

Ok, I see now only one wideband would be ok. Gotta check if the XSPOWER TIP 3" Cat-less Flex V-band dp's have the rear 02 bungs at the correct angle for W/B so I could hopefully use one of them for sensor. My friend gave me a brand new LC-1 sensor but I just need the rest past the controller box. I use to have the stand-alone tuning kit with tailpipe sniffer bracket but some friends borrow things and they become enemy's so atleast another friend helped out with a sensor.

Like I've told DD before I use to more crude engine management software like OpenECU and this car is like 100x more confusing to me so that's why I ask a lot of questions. DD has been very helpful to me over the past 2 years or so and DD and Nyet I wonder if you guys ever sleep.... yall put in work on the threads I can't imagine how you get anything done outside nefmoto. You have my respect don't forget that.

From my expirience you need to make injection time a little shorter, for example via KFLF and ignition angle a little higher then log it. But first you must buy wideband O2.

Thanks^ I have all winter to play around with the car. I really wanted the w/m for summer here in FL has made the car a dog. Last night temps got to 60° went out for a drive... to say it was great was a understatement.... the car was running great. I'll get to the wideband 1st. The A6 doesn't have a A-Pillar gauge pod that's a decent price. My friend will make one for $100 but idk about that. I don't like the column pod cause it blocks the stock gauge cluster too much for me.

So when I figure all that out I'll get the wideband installed. If I wanted to just put the w/m in for cooler intake temps and not extra power via timing I have seen people say it's ok to install it anyways. Also I see some bi-pipes have the bungs for the nozzles down where the upper intercooler rubber pipes attach. I also read some people say to install them about 6-8" from TB. My other question is when I did w/m research on my last car you didn't want to inject b4 the intake temp sensor as the water could cool off sensor and give the engine a false cooler reading. Is this not a concern for most people?

Put WMI on my stage 2 1.8T k03s.   Tuned car to roughly -6CF and the fuelling where I wanted it, and then just ran the meth through triggering at my chosen PSI of boost.

Doesnt run rich or anything like that and CFs drop right down when running on meth.  I could probably lean the mixture out a touch more but would rather stay a touch richer than chase that extra bit lean power, especially when tuning with out a rolling road.

Could even map it in from intake temps aswell to get the ECU to add a touch more timing when IATs go below a certain point.  Some map it in that way aswell

I would try and mount a throttle spacer with a 275cc injector with a checkvalve integrated injector holder(which snow-performance sells or else your vacuum will siphon the fluid and may cause hydrolock). It prevents potential issues down the road with your throttlebody and provides a better knock control (little less charge temp control then placing the injector a bit upstream of the throttle but you won't see much of a difference comparing the two). Although if you want to keep it simple and just have a dual small 60 - 100cc injectors with bungs welded to both bi pipes about a 12-24" from throttle plate you would net the most charge cooling with a lot less knock control.

The closer you get to the intake ports the more knock control your going to get. The further away the injector is placed will prove to net the most charge cooling effect. There is a balance to everything but I would take full advantage of knock control versus worrying about intake temps at the end of the day those runners will be ice cold  Cool. I loved my snowperformance kit. I usually target .82 lambda and run aggressive KFZW all day with 0 timing retard and a ice cold manifold.

Use intake temp vrs timing/boost maps to limit power in case of failure. (I forget their acronym)

I doubt the charge temperature is actually cooler when injecting 12-24" prior to the throttle body.  The IAT sensor can register a change in the passing airflow but what happens thereafter is unmeasured, and I suspect nozzles located in the IM intake runners would generate cooler charge temps, but they wouldn't be detected by the IAT sensor.

I was just worried about water cooling the air temp sensor as it advised by the w/m injection companies. My last car used a MAF pre-turbo and also took the air temp there, so I never could tell the ecu, hey cooler air. But I was able to adjust via my datalogs and afr with my AEM wideband to tune for the change.

Now I got a used kit, good deal. I have to do some research on the kit, gonna download the pdf and look it over, see on the forums if people have install/diy's so I can see how they set it up. IDK much about it it yet, its the Stage 2 kit, uses boost pressure to do progressive injection, the VC-100 controller, In-dash Indicators Lights, comes with Safe Injection Monitor and the Solenoid upgrade so I could do a spacer like setup mentioned above.

My last kit was a Stage 3 Devils Own DVC-30.

If your talking about IAT sensor failure due to watermeth. I was running a injector 6 inches away from mine with zero issues for 3 years. If your IAT sensor is located away from the path of water/meth then I would just numb the intake temp timing/boost maps. It won't help if the system fails but your just interested in the cooling benefits so its not like your interested in running crazy timing. So if it does fail I wouldn't be worried about it.

No, I wasn't worried about it failing, I was worried about false readings. From water hitting it and cooling the sensor down to a temp that's not really accurate.

I will be tuning for higher timing when the time comes. I have type 2 diabetes with high blood pressure and weight 350lbs, I will use enough time and energy installing the kit and will reserve the timing changes for later on.

Also the maps I see (KFZWOP & KFZWOP2) shoot for 27* when boost hits to 24*/25* degree up top, I see others saying that maps (KFZW & KFZW2) are just giving it a head start/where they should start to try and reach the values in KFZWOP/2, the car will try to hit the target timing in those maps and if they don't see knock they will continue to reach for the numbers in KFZWOP/2. Is this what I gather?

I already see timing reaching numbers that are higher then KFZW & 2 now that the weather has cooled down. Is it normal in the Auto/Tip cars to see a timing decrease between shifts even tho boost stays the same for the most part??
