I'm not fully sure I didn't use one on my setup yet, but I think they're like a valve, and can be found in the RainBird (the watering system) or plumbing areas. I know think it works like most valves, just makes sure that theres water always getting to the motor in an equal flow.

alright, I'll check that out then. My dad knows the guy who runs the local rainbird store and he gets discounts, I'll go in there with my dad either when I'm putting together my water injection kit or when my dad does his next landscaping job, whichever comes first.

I'll be going to colorado probably before the end of sept, onyx is going to meet up with me (I'll be in Longmont) maybe you can come with him and I can check out your del sol and water injection.

you could probably use teh no2 bottle for water storage, just hang it above teh pump and you have a fancy resvoir.

Im thinking about taking on this project. But seems a little expensive for me to use the aquamist stuff and the 100psi pump so I think im gonna go this route:
http://www.turbomirage.com/water3.html
a little cheaper.

So anyone know what car has a 1gallon windshield washer resevoir?

Also where is the best place to mount the nozzle. I've heard after intercooler. And right before throttle body. Wouldnt after intercooler be better to assure that it has time to vaporize?

spearco makes a kit for around $200 -I went all out and got the aquamist system for $400 since this is my only cooling I figure it was worth it to pay a little more for the quality.

we just don't know man. we're just a bunch of crazies, not a test lab. maybe you should try all that ---- out yourself and tell us if it blows your engine or not.
