Water injection kits anyone.??

[Green Machine]

Does anyone have any advice on water injection kits and what they do, how they work, and what kind of power you get from them?

Re: Water injection kits anyone.??

From what I know about them they are a coolant system similar to alcohol injection (meth injection). They are not a poweradder like nitrous.

I dont know of too many people who use these type of cooling systems unless they are running HUGE shots of spray, like 150 or bigger.

You might want to check out the Forced Induction section too cuz I know a lot of those guys who are running high boost levels use these systems.

water kits do not add horse, they are a cooling kit which will allow you to run some extra timing as well as upping the jetting a little bit.

How much power do they add???

huh? I said they didnt add power alone, but thru them you can upgrade other elements to make more power.

DOH!! I lacked attention to detail, I thought you said it DID add power. :o I'm a lil slow today...

I was highly confused as to how water injection increases horsepower

Yeah, I knew they allowed you to use more nitrous/boost with less risk of overheating, but thats pretty much all I know about them. There are just chemical coolant systems.

/\/\ ha, no its cool I have those days.

and really you have the concept down as far as i know, there isnt much more to it.

I stil run my coolingmist 150 psi methanol kit on my car with the dry nitrous kit. You can make more power if you have it tuned for the methanol injection and up your timing. But the main idea is to lower your intake temps. If your looking for one , look on ebay at the coolingmist kits. You can find a good kit with everything for around $300.
