2 q's - h2o injection and power gains from tuning... (leaning it out)
Ok firstly an overview of my setup - 94 integra rs
b18c1
stock head
cp 9:1 pistons, .30 over on stock sleeves, nuformz block guard, eagle rods
stock tranny
garret t3/t4 .60 I believe
PWR fmic
HKS ssq
tial sport wastegate w/ turbonetics manual boost controller
rc 550s
hondat s200
Right now my car is basemapped for 14 or 16 psi and is only running 11-12 psi (like this when I bought it)
When I'm driving normally the air fuel is between 14-15, but at low boost it moves to 12, then as boost goes up, it moves to around between 8.0 and 9.0 at full boost.
I have a couple of things to add to it before I get it tuned, but was wondering if anyone knew of what gains I would see (aside from not running rich, and stumbling sometiems)... like perhaps an estimated horsepower gain from having it tuned to around 12.0 at full boost?
Lastly, I am starting to research water injection, and won't ask many questions b/c I dont want everyone to say READ + RESEARCH. But if anyone could send me in the right direction of a DIY water injection site Id be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone cares to input if I do/dont need it, or if you are running it, pros and cons?
thanks!

Re: 2 q's - h2o injection and power gains from tuning... (suprfast)
thank you, looks like you've given me some good reading there. I'm going over it now. Everyone I've read about/ heard about say nothing but good things.
Any of you honda guys have some results for me such as temps or dyno #'s?
What about the tuning, anyone estimate on that?

Re: 2 q's - h2o injection and power gains from tuning... (94lsboost)
alot of people here seem to not use water injection- the lack of a good knock sensor to watch and appropirate datalogging for that might be the reason...
i have a bunch of experience tuning water/alcohol injection,
and all i have to say is, get the little box from aquamist and the nozzle that will pulse the water at injector duration. that will make everything REAL easy to tune
