Id def think about doing water injection on a 3sgte
after seeing the benefits.

QUOTE
"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.

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)
