WATER INJECTION Alcohol ? Few ?'s
 

I have been searching about this latley, and i was wondering if i chould use this as kinda like a use only when im street racing kinda thing, like when i know im about to do a race, i can spray it while racing, and where does the nozzle hook up, to the intercooler pipe between the intercooler and the throttle bodie. Want to run 10 pounds and 12 evently. I herd that it helps with no dentenation and you can run more boost safely. Here is one for sale, does this look ok or is it a junk kit

And as far as tunning do i have to tune for this or can it be used whenever i feel kinda like nitrous with a push of a button. And is it hard to get ahold of the type of alcohol you need, thanks your time.

there was a 7 page thread on water injection, search.

i used it in my turbo 510 with 12:1 compression and liked it ;D helped keep detenation away and keep the motor cool to a point, i used a 50/50 blend of water and alcohol and had it activate at 4 pounds of boost

i read the whole thread, the only thing i dont get is what do you need to make sure there is always water waiting if you dont use the gravity system. i want to mount the resvior in the back of my hatch,

a motor with a pickup line :l i used the window sprayer bottle and motor for mine

can you install the nozzle inbetween the intercooler and the throttle body or does it have to be pre turbo intake

Re: WATER INJECTION Alcohol ? Few ?'s
 

mine was carb'd, so my nozzle was sitting in my carburator, i havent done it on a EFI setup yet, but i'd imagine you'd want to put it semi close to the TB

eight on, im gonna go for it

Re: WATER INJECTION Alcohol ? Few ?'s
 

make sure your jet is small enough so you dont hydrolock the motor, that would be bad :1

Re: WATER INJECTION Alcohol ? Few ?'s
 

well im just gonna buy the kit for the link i posted, then buy a 2 quart resv, and but the resv in the back of the hatch.

do that and tell me how it goes!

Re: WATER INJECTION Alcohol ? Few ?'s
 

4-6" infront of the tb. Spray upstream, or downstream, NOT AT A WALL.
Use ethyl alcohol (Methanol is bad for aluminum, isoproply alcohol will actuall completely combust (ethyl/methyl will NOT) to burn, wasting oxygen & decrease power compaired to the same amount of fuel burned).
A solenoid you can turn on/off with the pump is the best way, next to that is a check valve is the ebst way to ensure water is always in the line. (They can not leak)
It's not "10-25%" water to gasoline. It's "15-25, or greater water to MIXTURE weight". Mixture being the total of both the water injected, and the fuel.


Aside from that... Drink some milk, buy a water pump, and some type of nozzle/atomizer to use as a sprayer, some tubing, wiring, a boost pressure switch, a relay, and a check valve.
That stupid SOB aint nothing but a homebuilt scam. It's worth *maybe* $55, 39.99 of that is the pump from harbor freight.


I hate to down becool after i got a killer deal on a lot of boost pressure switches from him...


But I think that's a harbor freight pump too.
