Water injection
 
I posted this a while back, but no one(not even jeff!) knew anything about this, there were a couple of websites, but nothing to helpful. Im wondering about gains and is it REALLY worth it. Please, anyone who knows someone, or has a friend of a friend who has it. please please please someone reply with some knowledge. I might be doin this over the summer and it would be great to have some input on it. I will of course take pictures and let everyone know the pros and cons of it.

I have been doing some research on this as well cause i was thinking of doing it. On some of the posts i have been reading this system is suppose to eliminate the ic. It is set up far enough from the throttle body to evaporate into a gas before it hits the engine. It like dropped the temp by like 200 degrees or something and eats up the carbon. I will try to find the website and post it for ya ;)

intercooler and water injection DIFFERENT ----, intercooler cools the charge from the turbo while the water injection is in cylinder ----, internet isn't always right, but i am ;D that means u need both......

this mike, rx-7 guy, ask and i will tell you.

as for gains? alot, cheaper gas + more boost, no more wasting money for race gas and ----.

if you have a fuel conntroller, it would help alot to save gas, u run the water injection till it studders etc, meaning your running rich, then you lean the fuel out, that way more water using and lesser fuel comsumption, get me?

water injection is good but i think alcohol is even better, low burning rate of the alcohol is like race gas, high octain burns slower, durh.

as for timming, no need to retard alot, ----, without alcohol injection for me i run about 14 degrees while in boost, if i can remember right, but with alochol im good to be around 17 degrees and still running strong.

i think the only way to really make water injection work is a good engine managemnt, using stock ecu would be ok because the octain of the gas would go up and stock ecu should see no detenation and should advance accordenly.

there much i know, just the info is for rotaries, i'm afraid of using water injection or alcohol on pistons motors because there is NO SUCH THING AS HYDROLOCK for rotaries, (true statment no lie)

-mike, your water injection specialist?

o yeah with a good engine magament, u can apply more advance timming and get good air/fuel-water ratio getting good horsepower and torque out of it.

maybe in the summer i'll build another kit and do step by step on a website with pics so you guys can get some info, there is more ----, just i can't remember at the moment.
