new thought to water injection
I've been reading up on water injection alot and have all the peices together ready to install on my car when it gets back next week (for the 2nd turbo kit). I read this a few times http://www.racetep.com/wik.html and the thing that I have seen that we havent really seen on HMT is that the tank is hooked to the intake manifold to increase pressure so that you dont need a high power pump. This makes me think that I coudl just hook my water cell up tp the intake mani and run the winsheild washer pump under that to supply the water to my engine. I will gladly be the guine pig for this expo. Anybody have any good input to this?

Re:new thought to water injection
well i prefur to keep water injection seperate from the windshield washer tank and second, there is hardly any room to mount anything in a honda engine bay that it would be difficult at best. but i have seen a few kits out there with the pressure thank but they still use pumps or gates to activate it when you hit boost (or whatever you want it to go off) The other thing is as you boostand use the water the pressure in the tank will decrease and cause you to have less if any at all proformance out of your water setup. the water has to be forced really hard through that nozzle to make it mist and i dontthink a pressureized tank can do that for a long peroid of time. just IMO

Re:new thought to water injection
even if forming a good mist wasn't a problem, you would have to put the spray head before the intake to the turbo. if you put it in the charge piping (is that right? i'm not too familiar with water injection), there would be just as much pressure on the spray nozzle forcing the water back down into the tank as forcing it out. it might work well for spraying the windshield... turbo powered washer nozzles. lol
anyway, the only pressurized tank setup i've read about used a compressor to maintain air pressure and a solonoid valve for water flow control. maybe use one of those cheap 12v tire pumps with a 60 psi pressure switch? i'm not sure where to get a tank though.
