Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!

pinging is easy to hear. Just put up your windows, radio off, etc... and put it in 3rd gear or so, and push it down (starting at 2000rpm) up to redline. It sounds like "marbles in a can being shaked"... It's not LOUD, but you can hear it if you're ears are tuned in... and if you can't, then you should be glad. There's nothing I hate more than hearing that sound.

Water injection is getting closer and closer. Still mounting a container.. actually thinking of doing this up front instead of the trunk.

may try removing the dizzy and replacing it one tooth back.. but ya sounds like a lota carbon in that motor

OK Chacko, do you honsetly think that the turbo is actually going to rust, when it is constantly spining and pushing air, just a thought from me to you, think about it....

well, that and the fact that the part your injecting water into is made of aluminum, not steel.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!

I've eliminated the pinging, and I'm on the street at 7 psi now. I've bumped up the injectors a little (ghettodyne of course

)

Just got my misting nozzle in from aquamist and thought everyone might want to see what they look like.

I dont know if this picture shows how small this ---- is but it is small as hell. Just for reference it is about the lenqth of a quarter. My water injection will be up within the week, I'll post how everything goes soon!

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!

if it helps to understand how small this is, the hole in the middle is only .5mm big. Thats just a close up. its about as thick as a pencil and about 1 inch long.

That's smaller than a 55shot jet for nitrous, which is .60ish mm... My water/alcoy injection uses a nitrous fogger type deal.

Re:Water Injection - THE FACTS!

JD, keep us informed on this.. I'm almost lazy do this whole thing and haven't got much done with it yet. I want to have a complete working system before July.
