So I have been thinking about working on my car again. So, I wanted to pick up where I left off.

I want to replace the cold start injector on the intake manifold, with a water injection nozzle. I would like to hear some opinions on my idea. I really do not want to drill into my intercooler. This would inject the water after the TB, I believe its recommended that the spray be before the TB.


I think I'm gonna pull my wiring harness and clean it up, Manny's thread has inspired me.

Your thoughts,

DEF

Jeff, it sounds like your cold start injector is in the same place that my factory Water Injection was.....and in fact the factory Water Injection nozzle looked very similar to the GEN2 cold start injector. I removed the factory Water Injection nozzle and replaced it with the nozzle that came with the Devils Own kit, so I could control the amount fluid I inject. Manny made me a "block of plate" and then tapped the new "block off plate" to accept the Devils Own nozzle.

Her are some pictures for you, to help you understand better.

As for what is better.....I would say buying the fitting that they offer to be installed on a rubber coupler may be better. It allows you to intall the nozzle before the throttle body to help with the atomization process. Obviously the better the atomization, the better the system works, but I haven't experienced any problems. The only problem I can see with installing the fitting in the coupler is that couplers expand under heat, so ithat mayt lead to the fitting having a chance to leak (boost leak). But, if it doesn't, then it may better than installing it where the factory cold start injector is.....Just something to throw at you.
