Water injection

[Hal]

Yes, I use it ALL of the time.

Once the NOS goes in, the system will be set up to shut the water off as soon as the NOS starts, and come back on when NOS flow stops.

NOS will flow ONLY above 4k, using a window switch to prevent it from coming on below 4k, and to shut it off just before the rev limiter kicks in.

I use the Aquamist 2s (www.aquamist.co.uk) with an single .8mm jet, on point set @ 17 psi, full flow by about 25 psi, with some slight bumps in the flow map in the mid to upper rpms.

I use a "helper" pump to supply fluid from the washer tank in the hatch to the aquamist pump under the hood.

Both pumps have LED's on the center console so I can confirm operation and in the case of the Aquamist pump, duty cycle as well.

while i was home on leave i went to the 2 biggest speed shops in town. extreme motorsports is out of town. anyway the one never even heard of aquamist let alone water injection, so i left. at the other shop i went in and BSed with a guy for a while before a saleman was ready to see me. i asked if they carried the aquamist 2s kit, or knew of a local distributor that sells them cheap. he proceeded to say that i'm an idiot for using 1970s technology on my car. for the most part insulting the way i tune my car, and rambled of that an FMIC is the way to go. i tryed to explain politely that an FMIC is good, but for road race and rally the FMIC would get heat soaked and water injection would help to reduce some of the temps, reduce knock, and clean inside of the head and cylinders as well. well he didn't like me answer and proceed to tell me NO car using water injection has ever run faster than 12s. as asked him to back up that fact. then he went back to how great an FMIC is. lucky for him my temper isn't what it used to be, but i look back on it and i wish i put his rude ass in the hospital.

i love the way advertising in magizines and movies has brainwashed everyones concepts about what they think they know about cars.
