Default water injection: use nitrous solenoid, jet, and fogger?

im building my race car setup and i would like to run water/alchohol injection. I have an old nitrous kit laying around that im not using.....

anybody have experience with getting a small tank and pump and running it to the solenoid and fogger/jet? think it would work?

Im thinking as long as the fogger/jet would atomize the liquid well enough it should work great...the trouble would be the experimentation phase in getting the correct jet/pressure/etc.

anybody have any thoughts on this?

Nitrous nozzles are too big and do not give you the atomization you need, my system using them performed very poorly.

Honestly though, for a race car why bother? C16 and an air/water cooler will supress any and all detonation, there really isn't any need for it in a race car.

You can buy the nozzels or jets from other kits and make it work, just make sure your pump is rated at more than 140psi

I would be worried about corrosion in the solenoid. I think there are better nozzles suited for the job.
