boost activation on coolingmist?
Can someone who running coolingmist kit show me how to adjust the boost level?. I'm looking to spray @ 5psi. How do I adjust the boost activation?
Thanks
Nate

...Can I turn it back to 1psi then go up? if yes then how would I know when I get back @ 5psi?

Not much on the coolingmist kit though...the problem is that I played around and then don't know where is 5psi...Now with the LED came on when the pump is on...I made a couple run and finally tuned it ~5 psi

Coolingmist instruction exist on their website. The boost switch comes preset at 10 psi. Even with the instruction, nothing works as good as real testing, that is why I wanted to drive it and see when it kicked on. Just like your A/F, I like to know what is going on when I drive it and not just trust the dyno.

Frankly the US companies other than my company have little in terms of technology (In my opinion) so I guess they dont have much to document.

I'll make the general assumption you are referring to Water Injection products and not all manner of performance parts. You are making some pretty far reaching claims about US companies not having much in terms of technology. Perhaps as a new user and relatively new company to the 350Z community you might consider the term "tread lightly". I know of at least one US based performance company whose technical documentation is at the LEAST on par with yours and in some instances superior (albeit for a different product). They also make a water injection system and anyone would tell you their documentation is anything but lacking.
There are many US based performance companies that have greater documentation than us, I dont dis-agree. There are US companies that have insane technology and you cant compare that industry to ours. Im referring to the market that we serve in, methanol/water injection. all companies today do are throw together a basic controller and call it the day. They simply throw up a website and a picture of the product.
Anyway, I posted this to the original poster simply to ask why our documentation is "non existant", not to get into a pissing contest with you. If I am too blunt or said something to **** you off, I am honestly sorry you feel that way. I dont want to argue on this point. I stated my opinion on other US based methanol injection companies, you may not agree, I'll give you that you have the right to feel that way. I am just greatful for everyone that has supported our product and want to make any improvements that we can to help further the product.

You certainly won't gain any customers here like that. I guess I'll just move on with my "thrown together" Spearco WIS.
You are entitled to your opinion, everyone has different standards, whats great or acceptable for someone, is unacceptable for someone else. I'm glad you like your system.
Good luck!
