could i use a water injection system in place of a intercooler if i was to run around 8-10 pounds of boost???

 

don't do it! Never make you turbo setup dependant on a water injection setup. If you ever run out of water you could cause some real damage. Use an intercooler and let the water injection system enhance your setup to lower your threshold of detonation. It should only be used as a safeguard for higher boost levels for short periods of time. Never build it to be totally dependant!!

 

very very true .... alot of people have blown there **** up becuz of this...

 

can any real gains be had from water/alcohol injection on 7psi turbo? I'm interested in making a kind of half-assed set-up to switch on when I'm going to do a hard run, just for safetys sake.

 

the SMC kit that steve chulpsa or what ever is aweseom i know the GN guys use it with pump gas to gain extra couple pounds of boost They run aroudn 25psi on pump gas and can do it safely. His kit is pretty kewl in that it auto warns you and stuff if the bottle low etc.

 

i am currently working out details on to make a cheaper DIY kit; will keep u posted when my source gets back with prices.

the water pump costs $55 and the other parts should be cheaper than that.

 

its pretty cheap to do youself. I built one for my old mx-6 back in 92 with fishtank parts hehehe it worked okay ..

 

Aquamist water injection works really well i have it on my own car with 20 psi and stock ecu. I am currently involved in a group buy on this website. If you are interested check out the post. i will bump it up

 

Isn't the downside that the water particles take up space in the cylinders where air could be?

 

No the water cools the air. before it even makes it to your cylinders!

 

here ya go check this out AQUAMIST water injection group buy! same kit that jackson Racing sells for 100 bucs cheaper and shipping is free cant beat that!
