http://members.aol.com/taylorafdmb/water.html http://www.angelfire.com/super/buickgn/index.html http://www.frii.com/~maphill/wi.html I agree that this thread needs a sticky... You can drop every bit as much heat with water injection as you can an IC... and a bit more than either when used together. Given that this is a site where people build things out of junk, water injection is ideal due to price. |
Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
OK found that you dont have to buy the fine mist sprayer for the injection, just use a fuel injector to spray directly into the intake side of the turbo, the turbo will atomize the water/ methanol mix and feed it to the intake,,,,,

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
just bought my misting head today. I went with the .5mm from aquamist. Only cost me like 28 shipped. Got the pressure switch from NAPA, i think the pressure switch is the same thing that a water meter uses to determine when to cut on. Only thing I have to get now is the pump. Hows that f150 fuel pump working for you? 90 for a pump seems a little high and I really cant find a 12v water pump anywhere. Any suggestions to where I can find one? Oh yeah the guy from aquamist said to NOT inject the water into the turbo intake even if it is a fine mist. He said the intake mani or the charge pipes right before the t-body ar ethe most ideal spots to mount the water injector.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
If you spray water into the turbo you'll rust out the turbine and compressor housing. Don't listen to this dumb ----.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
Netsearch for Shurflo diaphragm pumps... you can find the 40 or 45 psi models for ~$40, then buy another pressure switch for it for $20 to up the pressure... if you don't feel 40 psi plus positive boost pressure on the reservior is enough.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
F-150 fuel pump works great !! Try e-bay or www.junkyarddog.com

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
Is there something special about the f150 pump or something? Wouldnt just about any fuel pump work exactly the same? I know it might be bigger but if thats the case wouldnt just about any pump from a 6cyl engine and up work?

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
I've got to do something quick though... I've got my distributor turned fully clockwise, retarding the timing 1.0 degree PER psi, and it's intercooled, and it pings at 5 psi... what the heck. It pings worst at night time when the temps are down a little bit... This is crazy. my 180k mile d16a6 is a strong puppy, but I think she's got some carbon build up.. Water injection is getting closer and closer. Still mounting a container.. actually thinking of doing this up front instead of the trunk.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!
How do you know if your car is pinging, i mean how can you hear it over your exhaust while your driving?
