Water Injection

I have negotiated with Aquamist the possible group purchase of their System 1 kit.

www.aquamist.co.uk

This retails at 324.11 GBP plus VAT and P&P.

I can get them for £250 GBP plus VAT and P&P.

If any one is interested please PM me.

Interesting - anybody got any testimonials about the benefits seen in the real world on the S2. What I'd like to see is before and after intake air temperatures (IAT) during high boost test runs.

I guess we'd configure the system to activate somewhere in the region of 0.5 to 1 bar of boost.

I imagine you could drink a fair amount of water during prolonged use... I just see it as a way to reduce IAT which is always good as it reduces chance of knock - especially with the poor excuse for fuel which my car gets to drink.

I use this system on my car and add a small % of alcohol (which is in the screen wash) it works fine comes in at 1.1 bar just to give the top end some protection

When on the rollers you can clearly see the temperatures come down as the turbo changes colour, if your injectors are right on the limit the alcohol help top end fuelling too

Here is a quick link on how water increases the knock limit of your engine, which is self explanatory. I am a great believer of it, not only offsets detonation but also keeps all the internal parts clean by removing carbon deposits.

I had a water injection system on my urs4 and it worked very well. I only used it at the track and just used the stock washer fluid resevoir for the water tank, I would use the whole thing in one 30 minute session.

In euro terms it is approx x1.40 to the pound ie: 350 euros plus taxes and postage.

I used to run WI on my GT4.

Check out Water Injection Link for some info on the application of the ERL system in a mates GT4.

Mine used to kick in @ 12psi and how often you had to refill the tank would just depend on how aggressive you were on the loud pedal.

Nice article... I think I'll be going for this...
