Water Injection

blown5.5 · 12-28-2004, 05:22 PM

While the normal method of cooling your compressed charge is with an intercooler I was aghast at the price and really didn't want to deal with all the hardware taking up room (really tight already). Instead I went with water injection. Now that it's cold and I have time to finish the installation, I'm curious if anyone else has experimented with this solution, and if so what their opinion was...

i use 50/50 water meth and i LIKE IT. It's not woth a damn if you dont tune for it. Initially it cost me 40 hp then after the tune, i ended up with an add 70 hp. I'm trying to work up the courage to try it on a blown carbed application.
