I apologize, the subject was where to place the nozzles/injectors and I presumed that it was clear. Thank you Unhinged, i know well where the fuel injectors are. I will do better in explaining next time.
I'm assuming he meant he drilled them for a water meth system, but since he provided no explanation at all to his picture its really hard to tell.
That would make more sense. But I hope he had a good internal diagram of the IC to make certain he was on the air side rather than water before drilling those hole. Or maybe he was just lucky (I have adopted empirical design methodologies a time or two myself)
Obviously I took the cover off to take the picture. Whomever does that, should take the cover off to drill it and tap it, you don't want to drop aluminum drillings in there and never drill into anything blindly. The holes are in the path of the compressed air going to the two air/water intercoolers for both engine banks.
Contrary to an earlier post, the intercoolers in the F-Type ARE air/water. They have two cores (one per bank) with coolant flowing and then going into a separate radiator, mounter horizontally under the regular car radiator and fed by the slot below the grille. That too is of course an air/water cooler.
This is what the upper intake manifold looks like. Technically anywhere in the middle section could work but I picked spots that are just above the supercharger discharge port.

Is it necessary to put the jets in the intake manifold? I understand the whole - "Do Not spray the supercharger screws " but if I ran 100% meth, would it make a difference if I put the jets in the Y-pipe intake tubes?
I would never put anything in front of the throttle body and supercharger, unless you are using a water/alc injection system unable to handle a nozzle in positive pressure locations.
Ideally it would be best if the IAT sensor (see picture) could register the lower charge temperature and adjust timing accordingly, injecting water/alc before the supercharger, negates that. I short I would not do that.
I've recently installed the Aquamist HFS3 v3.1 kit on my Base (with a dual pulley, 200 cell cat and Eventuri intake set up).
So far, my impressions are that the car seems to be pulling stronger, particularly in 3rd and 4th gear. I will be getting the car dynoed with and without meth injection to see how much of a difference it makes. Expect to see results by next Thursday in all likeliness.
Depending on how the system seems to be running, I might ask Chris from VAP to tune the car for the increased octane, although I haven't decided on doing that for sure.
For anyone wondering, the system is using the windshield washer reservoir and the pump is also hidden well inside the boot. My installer really did a great job in making it as "stealth" as possible, which was one of my biggest requests. I also have a convertible, which means boot space is a premium! I've been using the kit for about a week so far and not had to top it up yet, will post some feedback down the line on how often I'm filling it considering the reservoirs relatively small volume.
I'm currently using a 50:50 mix but will take a look at dyno results to figure out whether I should change this. If I'm not tuning for it, I could even just use 100% water for its cooling benefits.
I'll continue to post impressions and results as I collect them. Meanwhile, please feel free to ask any questions!
Do you mind sharing where the nozzles were placed?
Please note, this dyno shop only took it to 6,000 rpm for some reason, not sure why and I was in a rush so couldn't ask them to do it again. Also, my car has not been tuned for the water-meth injection and I was running 100% water.
Think the results speak for themselves. A modded F-Type could definitely benefit from better cooling in hot climates
You guys running these systems, any chance you can post up some photos of the engine bay with all this kit installed pointing out where your nozzles are and where you mounted the systems please.
I see BMW do this from factory now with some of their new M cars as well using water injection.

Did you jack up the boost so much that you actually need it? - pictures of my setup were posted on this thread
