Jackson Racing has a water injection kit, only run this if you're running very high compression or forced induction.

Larry Widmer (among others) say that some carbon crystals in the chamber is essential to making power...

I know a guy with an 11 second 180SX who has been running H20 since he got his T04S... he can't believe how great it works. I want to make a system for my engine but i want to retain some carbon in the chamber... so i wonder if I do run water, will it destroy ALL the carbon?

Aquamist pretty much has a monopoly on water/alcohol injection system. It is not cheap. I paid $700 for System 2S and have to shell out another $175 for a 2 gallon Jaz cell. The water vapor does steam clean the combustion chamber. That is what I have been told. I will know better when I rebuild the motor if it ever blow up.

I believe water injection system has been use very successfully by Rally racing team on a WRX. This link should provide alot more information on water injection. http://www.turbomirage.com/water2.html

has anyone thought about using propane injection, its suppost to be the ---- for turbos.
it cools the engine and creates massive hp and almost eliminates detonation.

if anyones interested i can post links to sites that sell kits.
