Water injection???

I will try and take some pics and post them. The brass tubes have very small holes in them, it injects more like a mist than a squirt. I just changed the activator from the throttle linkage to a button on my hurst shifter handle, my trucks a 4 speed this allows me to activate it at any throttle position also. I'm surprised more people don't use these systems, as they are proven and have been around forever. A simple home built kit can be done with wrecking yard parts. It might not be a fancy as the electronic ones on the market today, but will still be very effective. Greg

If you do some general searches with google you'll find articles on building homemade units. As well if you have the money to spend there are several good manufactures with purpose built kits that have adjustable boost referenced programers. The only thing I would recommend is a decent size tank for your water/methanol, the little bottles they supply will last one tank of gas at best.

A good size tank is a plus, and keeping the water/alky as cool as possible helps, so find a good location. I have a truck so I put a 2 gal aluminum "Moon "tank back there, coated the inside to deter the alky corrosion, (not necessary with a plastic tank). You can take a long trip with this set up.

I've ran water methanol injection with nitrous. You basically tie it right into the nitrous system so that when you fire off the nitrous you activate both the water injection and nitrous. The water injection doesn't burn as someone was mentioning earlier. Yet it does slow down the burn rate of the fuel, giving you a more controlled burn, essentially acting as an octane enhancer and helping to eliminate chances of detonation. Check out this new kit by AIS.

RodKNox302,are you feeding the engine Straight Methanol + Water or Window Washer fluid

This thread is Boss

I think N2O has evened the playing field with Turbos & Centrifugals.

Im spraying -20 washer fluid (30% methanol) so it doesn't effect air fuel much at all. No need to change fuel jets on the nitrous side. Plus, if the water methanol injection didn't fire off your not losing any of your fuel.

I bet this (-20 Window Washer Fluid) is easier to come by than straight Methanol

RodKnox302 How much "Juice" you use'n

I was wondering if this water injection system works with racing fuel like 116octaine, i see most the posts say methanol, isn't that actually alcohal not gas? just wondering, don't know much about this stuff.

Water injection and alky refer to mixing the 2 in the water injection tank. Both cool the intake charge, the alky adds some octane too. As for your engine you can power it on what ever you want, gas, alky, propane, diesel , race gas, whatever...

here are some good tech reads from that same site
