here is a shot of the boost sensor that reads when to kick the injection on.

Here is our makeshift water resivoyr. If it works use it!

pump can be ordered at: http://www.pro-spray.com/sprayer_pumps.htm rated at 100 psi (1.4gpm)
around $80 if I remember right - only downside is the gravity feed :(

The fittings can be bought at Ace or Home Depot, you just gotta look in the lawn watering plumbing ----.

My alcoy/water injection kit uses a stock F-150 fuel pump and works fine. my friends GN ran it when he only had 500hp.

If its good enough for a 500hp 3.8L v6 its should at least support a 350-400hp 4 banger..

Prob. under $40 at a junkyard or something.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
 
Water injectiona sounds dope and since I just took off my intercooler to put a new one on I'm seriously considering it instead of the new IC. From what I've heard around though is that water injection wouldnt be too good for someone like me who was only running like 10psi. Is this true? I've heard that you have to be running pretty high boost to put the water injection to good use. My car boosts 10psi at like half throttle at 3000 rpm would that make a difference since I'm not even putting a ton of fuel in the engine to compensate for the water going in?

Can't have too low dollar ;D btw couldn't u use any container to hold the water? Also is it in the trunk? because you'd get way better weight distribution and less weight if it was on the fire wall.

nah, the mounts are my fault and i frogot to get a pict of them with them back the way there suposto be. the wireing was done on a spur of hte moment type crap or it would have been done better.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
 
oh and the resivoyr, it was better the way we did it. Later on it will help in the cooling of hte water. and there is no real way on getting the setup on the firewall at least in that sol.
