Anyone have any experience with the Jackson Racing water injection unit? I am mainly interested in how well it stands up against the Auquamist unit as well as how effective it is in taming detonation. I will be running 10:1 compression and want all the safety I can get. If you have any experience or usefull knowledge about this please post it up. Thanks,

your question sparked an interest in my head....there fore I created a search in the archives and came up with a S#itload of info, including a thread you created back in 02 about the same topic as created now.

Heres a particularly helpful 3 page thread on alky and should help you make your decision

The problem with H20 injection kits is that its too easy to build a setup that is dependant on the injection...so if you run out of water, then you're in trouble. If you can build your setup without being dependant on H20, then I'd say that they're good to go

I have a light that tells me when the pressure switch is turning on the water pump. I have another pump that lets me know when the pump is running. You could also buy a cheap $15 pressure gauge at the hardware store to make sure their is pressure in your lines when their should be.

Thanks!!!! That link was most helpfull. Just wonder why I didn't see it before.

 

The jackson racing water injection kit is a rebadged Aquamist water injection kit. They mark it up at least 100.00 over the aquamist.

I ran water/alcohol injection for 6 months. It worked very well. In combination with a thicker headgasket, head studs and block guard I pushed a stock block gsr to 17-18lbs daily driven on a 60-1 t3. I never once had detonation, and when I pulled the engine to install my built block/tranny the combustion chamber/piston tops were bare metal. The water steams cleans in the inside of the engine, effectively taking virtually all carbon build up in the combustion chamber away. After having three different water injection/alcohol injection kits the Aquamist was the best by far that I have used in terms of quality of components, design and simplicity.

The spearco kit is low quality. You'd be better off with the aquamist system.

Just want to clear some things up! AQUAMIST makes the jackson racing kits. Jacksone racing just stamps their names on the kits and raise the prices. Water injection will help you out a ton if you are running a high comp ratio! It will lower intake temps and reduce preignition. water injection is the #1 way to reduce preignition or detonation. If you want to learn more about water injection and how to build your own kit check out my site in my sig!

Why not build a setup dependant on water? its not hard to look at a water tank to see if it needs water and fill it. My water injection uses my stock washer tank. when the water level is low the dummy dash light kicks on letting me know when its time to fill the tank. sounds easy enough to me.

Yeah I realize that...it was stated just above ya. I have the Jackson (Aquamist) kit but am now going to sell it. I spent too much on this setup to lose it to a bad tank of gas. Race gas for me 24/7 Anyone want to buy a water injection kit????
