Default Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS! PICTS!!

ok here you go. sorry aobut that the wreck has kinda thrown me off a bit.




This is the nozzle of the injection into the charge pipe


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!


Here is the shot of the pump. In this shot it is dislauged from its mounting screws. We went HMT on the screws

Again, sorry that took so long. I will have more picts one I see his car again.

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.

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 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.

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.
