water injection

[smoker]

Hi just wondered if anyone had fitted a water injection system to prevent detonation - I was thinking of making up something to spray water into the air intake when the boost pressure goes over say 6 psi..hopefully should allow me to run std. unleaded and more boost or is that a totally mad idea

i doubt you will need water injection @ 6psi.

Water is like nitrous it doesn't flow evenly through an Intake manifold. If your going to build a system build direct port like this. http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/waterinjection.html

I had a water injection system then decided to sell it.

You only get benefit from it if you are really close to detonating.

Some people use it on a track for preventative measures, but its actually been shown to reduce power when used like this. But obviously reduce the risk of anything naughty happening.

Hi, thanks to everyone that replied !. The off the shelf systems seem really expensive so I think I will try to make something up with an old electric fuel pump, string and selotape etc....I might splash out a bit more if i can get my flooding engine problem sorted.Thanks again
