Using
water injection (or water / methanol and even straight methanol)
has advantages to building more power. It eliminates knock (detonation)
which allows for higher PSI boost on the engine safely.
The
water / alcohol cools down the cylinder temperatures. It also helps
clean away carbo deposits which can cause hot spots leading to engine
failure.
I
use the AQUAMIST
2D
system with a DDS3
in cab controller/gauge. This is in my opinion the very best water
(alcohol) injection system out there. A little more spendy but it
does so much more than lesser units.
It
uses a 100psi pump and the system is under 100psi the entire time
(pre-pressurized system) so there is absolutely no delay in delivering
the fluid to the injector nozzles.
I
currently use (1) 1mm jet that delivers approximately 310 cc which
translates to about 10% fuel ratio using (6) 550 cc fuel injectors.
It is set to inject when boost is above 15.5psi.
A
double advantage in this system is my HKS fan controller includes
a sprayer function that will sub-control the same system but re-route
it (if not under boost) to 3 sprayer nozzles. 1 for the radiator
and 1 for each side mount intercooler. This helps resolve intercooler
heat-soak if doing a lot of high boost runs.
