Water injection on a budget...

[Rusty]

Nowhere really, at the time I was up for blowing some money but things are quite different for me now and I had more fundamental things to fix like the HG which solved the problems I was experiencing with what felt like heat soak and problems when the engine was hot.

When the alpinweiss is nearing completion WI will be added to help with maintaining power during track time especially in the heat.

Papvas is running a Snow Performance kit and I think there are very little downsides to a proper WI kit other than some added weight. If you get the car mapped specifically to run WI with a 50/50 water/methanol mix then there are good advantages to be gained but you make sure that if you run out of water then you don't mince the car. Just adding it to a well running car will provide you with all-weather capability, same goes for a water or CO2/NOS IC spray.

Is the Autospeed kit WI or just IC spray?

Autospeed kit can be made to work for either thats the beauty of it as it works of injector cycle and not boost pressure.

so you'll be throwing in water all the time ?

no it's a adjustable when the controller detects a controlable amount of injector cycle AND the target threshold temperature is exceeded then water is injected.

Sounds good, the more complex Aquamist and Snow Performance kits etc. have injector pulse width, temperature, boost, whatever you want. All a bit complex for my little banger, on/off switch and a boost switch for me unless I win the Lottery... which I don't even play

It does, it's in the car wired up therefore it's free I'd be stupid not to attempt to at least get it running.

There's some very interesting threads on motorgeeks.

I'll have to look and see if Tekkno put a pump on the washer bottle or if I have to buy a full kit minus controller.

water injection

Had a friend run water/alcohol injection on his Impreza and it worked extremely well, it brought the charge temps right down. Also helped to reduce Knock levels to.

I also fitted it to my old Skyline for the same reasons as he did..

The system he used was from this company...
