Water/Alcohol Injection.

[curry]

For all you FI guys... have you ever thought of incorporating a simple water injection setup to let you boost just a little bit more and stretch the limit of pump gas? It's supposed to also help keep your internals clean i.e. steam cleaning.

Several of us who are supercharging without intercoolers will be using M/W systems. Check the build threads or do a search on M/W injection - both Zuffen & I will be using them, and I'm sure others are as well.

1ndecent thx for jumping in. Had forgotten about your excellent thread, and that both you & Justen have working systems (my brain doesn't fire on all cylinders until the 2nd cup of coffee). Did you finish your thesis?

 

[1ndecent]

Yes, last year. I ended up spending about $3k on nitrous oxide on top of my hardware costs!

Now THAT is some extreme injection. I LOVE IT! Very nice work bro.

Sounds like it (your thesis) would be an interesting read; any chance of posting it here?

I am having trouble getting an FTP connection to host it, and it's too big to post as an attachment. If you give me an email address I'll send it to you.

WOW.... That is a PhD caliber thesis. Thank you for your contribution. The whole world can benefit.

On the side note. Where did u get the 1 to 4 adaptor/fitting for the hoses?

 

[cribbj]

Many thanks Jasper, that's very good of you to share your work with us.

Best,

John

Wow amazing thesis.

Very interesting chemistry. I did not realize that injection of water would decrease the CO emissions at the same time increase the power produced when CO is converted to CO2.

It came from Aquamist, however they are a standard SMC fitting, so should be available locally.

Jasper,

Excellent read and well done. Who said work and pleasure should never be mixed.
Love it, well done again.

I have an aquamist 2C system for my Alltrac. Works very well.
