Coolingmist has a multiyear history on our board and is known to many. i hope boardmembers will post their experiences w CM's systems.

Coolingmist offers a broad array of AI product and has an excellent website: http://www.coolingmist.com/detailmain.aspx?pid=02P

recently noteworthy is the Progressive Controller and methanol rated pump.

georgia phone is either 770-416-1041 or 888-MORE-HPW.

I'll be the first one to say that the vari-cool kit is just that. The install was very simple for even the novice stereo installer. There where no relays or any tricks to it. The controller is Very cool (hence the name) with features like a serial port to plug in a hand held computer to see exactly whats going on with tons of differant tuning and logging capabilities I'm sure this kit will prove to be all it's cracked up to be. Here is a small diagram of how I installed it.



edit: I'll keep everyone up to date with how it works. My plans are to run my t61 at 22psi on pump gas. Down here it is mostly 92 and sometimes you can find 93 octane.

 

Very Nice diagram. Please let me know if i can use that diagram as some of our customers may find that useful.

One of the nice advantages of your controller is the fact that it will not become obsolete due to the serial port. For example, the Vari-Safe Smart Injection Tuning Module will be available this spring and you will be able to connect it to your controller and use it if you decide you want this.

This is where smart device programming has some nice advantages.

 

what are you running for injectant?

have you used it as yet... where did you locate the components? pics?

thanks for the update. do keep us posted.

oh yeah, absolutley use it as much as you need. So you have to tell me more about this vari-safe smart injection tuning. Is this like an auto tuner for your AI system or something? Man that would be cool

The injectant is going to be a 50/50 mix at first and if that lets me reach my goal I'm all about it. However If I'm still having problems I'll move to water only as my ignition system is pretty beefy (2x crane hi-6's and 2x crane lx92 coils) witch will alow me to inject plenty of water. I haven't used it yet just because the motor is going to come out now that everything (turbo, fuel system, ignition, intercooler etc...) is now mocked up and now it's time to pull the motor and get it dowled and a few other things then I'll be putting it back in and getting it tuned. I will get some pics up of how it looks and component placement as soon as I get back to my office. I'll definatly keep everyone up to date with whats going on.

 

In about 30-40 days I will have a picture and be able to talk about features. Lets just say if you can imagine it, this device can probably do it. As soon as I am ready to discuss actual features I will post up some data.

What I can say is that this will be our greatest technical achievement and we are about to do something that has never been done but greatly needed. Stay Tuned.

Can't wait, but you really gotta stop making cool stuff, I'm going broke!

 

A few install pics. Not much. I'm probably going to change out the line with stainless all the way to the enginebay but for now this will do.


here is the pump and tank placement. I now have a stainless line comming from the round spot just to the left of the filler cap and it's going to a vent right above the fuel filler cap.



alky/water vent



controller in glove box along with the lt8 and the line going to my wb02 sensor so that everything can be plugged in to the laptop with ease



pic of stainless line, clog detector, checkvalve and injector placement. Probably going with a 90* angle for the injector as well so that it gets more of an even flow.

 

Thats a sweet setup! How about a group buy on those since auxilary injection seems to be very popular lately.

 

No problem, I will call Jason and see if he wants to run one. Rx7store.net carries our product so its up to Jason. I'll be in touch.

 

Jason has agreed to run a group buy/sale.

 

start a group buy on your new product

edit: oh yeah just incase someone wants to know. The placement of the led's are in the top left corner of the gauge cluster surround. I have three lights. one for level, one for clog detection and the other one is for my efan to know when it comes on.

 

I will post up the GB info in the next day.

For those installing these on an FD we use the window washer reservoir as the tank and mount the pump next to it.

 

Or use our trunk mount tank with the pump in side it



Bad ***

 

We just got our NEW trunk mount re-design in. Now it also mounts the controller.

Just in today!

This has to make our system the easiest to install system on the market.

Dimensions are 8 inches all, 6 inches wide and 11 inches long. Holds 1.5 gallons.

 

Hondahater -- GET THAT HOT TERMINAL ON THE ALTERNATOR COVERED PRONTO! You've got a fuel line sitting right next to the +12VDC output on the alternator -- if those touch, you'll create a massive fuel leak and set the car on fire!!!!!! :o

Btw, nice breather vent install.

yea, well thats one of the BIGGEST advantages of using 100% water. With the Vari-Cool all you need to do is install our Intake temp sensor, set the controller to activate at say...400F and aim a few nozzles next to that fuel line and you wil put out the fire. Infact...You can make it vary flow from 400-600F...the more fire...the more water.

We have a solution for everything.

 

congrats, it is always super to find something NEW!! a no brainer package.

BTW, just received my Jan issue of Hot Rod. HR reports on the results of Drag Week. 5 days, 1500 miles 5 events, sort of like One Lap for quarter milers...

the "fastest streetcar in America" was a 73 Plymouth Duster w a 537 cu in wedge motor ran a best of 8.26 at 164. and did the 1500 street miles.

what the hell is it doing in the AI section you ask?

to quote Hot Rod, "A custom direct port water injection system helps keep it alive." the motor makes 864 hp on pump gas and another 700 hp from nitrous.

water works.

first off.............bad ***! The install was already super freakin' easy now this setup makes it even easier! At the risk of sounding like a salesman that is a very smart thing to do and is great for the developer as much as the consumer! That being said. Brian thanks for looking out, I've been doing a mock up so there is no battery and the alternator is being yanked before I set everything so that it can get powder coated with the rest of the front assy. stuff. So it is deffinately getting coverd before it's done. thanks again though.

 

Hahaha, how funny.

Well I still encourage you to take care of that pronto. I've seen two FC's light up in flames because of exactly that same spot and issue.

Any update on this??

 

Jason should update this in next day or so, he has pricing and is ready.

thanks!

 

Thanks, we feel very strongly that innovation is the #1 thing that defines our company. When we develop a product we will not do the same thing everyone else has. We want to innovate and make things that our unique. Thats where our controller came from and our tank. Next year we have several major products. These innovations promise to continue to define us.

thanks for your support, its greatly appreciated.

 

Just Recieved the Tank, top notch bit if Kit, the pump mounts perfect in the middle of it and the angled nozzle holder is well made

 

I'll be getting a cooling mist kit soon. I only wonder where can you fit the 1 gallon tank in an fc? I just want it out of plain view. Any suggestions?
