Anyone on here have experience with Water injection?, The benefits are nice :) Options

http://www.snowperformance.net/ >-- couple kits there.
Id def think about doing water injection on a 3sgte
after seeing the benefits.

"In gasoline engines, as with any intercooler, this suppresses detonation so more power producing boost and timing can be utilized.
Water, with its high latent heat of vaporization cools the intake charge and combustion.
Methanol cools the charge and combustion but also acts like an extremely
high octane fuel (some researchers claim as high as 120 octane) as well
as adding more oxygen to combustion."

more power for a very reasonable price.
$400 for a setup and make an addition 60-80hp if tuned properly.
so does anyone have any info they wanna share with me about water injection.

you can mix up your own 'boost juice' by mixing pure methanol with with distilled water yourself and save money by buying the pure meth in bulk 5 gallon drums. cutting 50/50, that would last along time. i know atleast one person who does it that way. im not sure where they bought it from tho.


whats really cool is when you get a standalone engine managment system that lets you change timing/fuel when you're spraying the mix so that you can take full advantage of it.

I'm doing this on both my 3sgte in my celica and in my girlfriends RX-8 its getting turboed next month
thats when i'm getting the WI

Exactly why I'm going to be running a piggyback Methanol Injection on my 700+ RWHP LT1 build for my 93 Trans Am. I don't have a way to mount a big FMIC on it and the methanol makes for a great backup.

i have WI on my WRX

it got me 20whp on the dyno before i finalized the tune

its good stuff

just spraying it with out tuning doesnt do much though, you need the ability to tune.

I am helping a friend with an FD Rx7 do this soon, we are expecting good results.

Injecting water slows down the combustion in a cylinder which in turn leads to less power because the piston is getting peak pressure past its "sweet spot". So unless you are getting massive ping due to poor intercooling, you will only loose power with water injection. In order to utilize WI to its max potential (i.e. actually making power) you will need means to advance the timing a couple degrees and/or lean out the a/f ratio a bit. Also make sure to incorporate some form of safety measure in case you leak/run dry/clog the nozzle/break the pump or something of that sort (pressure sensor recommended)

when it slows down the burn time you can advance the timing and up the boost and make more power.
oh haha i just finished reading what you wrote. well anyways yeah the kits that are offered from them have all the safety features that i want (one way valve, boost pressure switch, and a water lvl waring light) im def gunna save up to get so water injection. now i just need a job.
