Water Injection Installed

[Yetti]

the part I find interesting is how the idea of water injection has once again come round to become a objective cure.
I remember back in the `70s when people were force feeding this crap and blowing up engines left and right. the only thing I can say the water does effectively is remove carbon deposits on the combustion chambers and pistons.
its negative effects are little more of a concern.
cast pistons can't deal with the incresed flex of the domes for long before they fail from fatigue. the other fine atribute of water in fuel is noted as "putting out the fire". the catylist will actually suffer on the long term because it can't make heat effectively. it will plug up and cost you more then any amount you saved. so fair warning on the "benifits of water injection".

did you guys look at the performance gains on the dyno charts on the link?? Like I said I ran one on the old dodge and it ran fine the only problem is filling up the damn reservoir and apparently they have a bigger tank now???

There are others that know allot more than me on this subject but, water has been injected into jet engines to cool and make more power for a long time. It was used in WWII in many planes but, the 2 most popular I can recall were the P-38 and P-51. Both running superchargers although the P-38 in my book was a turbo as it used exhaust to turn compressor. Even the Zero ran a water injected supercharger that turned on belts off the crank.

If you have the water or water/methanol inj. set for WOT only and do not have a 40lb. lead foot even a small tank should not be to inconvenient. Some use a progressive inject system but, are harder to tune and calibrate to prevent washing the cylinder walls clean before ignition. Well that is getting in deeper than regular street rig needs.

I'm a fan of inj. many things through fuel for diff. appl. Later my goal would be direct cyl. injection which would be most powerful and most eff.

Good Luck to ALL no matter for whatever purpose and experiment. It is the only way the rest of forum get to learn something new is because one member took the chance and time as it does take time and money.
