Water Injection Systems
Well, now that my S/C is installed and is a success I am looking to find a decent water injectio system for it. This will not be happening any time soon and probobly not till after winter but I like to look in advance for this kind of stuff. Even running 12lbs this ould be a help to me. List your stuff if you would be so kind

Water Injection
I'm running a spearco water injection system. It works well. Very simple. Not the best you can get though. I keep getting pushed to run an ethanol mix in it. I may try this at some point.

Water injection
Its a pretty basic setup. Pump water to a sprayer. I think any brand will do. You can set it to power the pump at a certain boost pressure, which is what I did, with a pressure switch. Also you should run a line from an area similar in pressure to the point of injection, to compensate for having to boost into a high pressure line. The pressure line boosts the tank pressure. Just make sure your tank is sealed. Also make sure your high tank level is well below the injection point. What you run is up to you. A lot of folks run an ethanol or methanol water mix. I just run water now.
Have fun Chuck D.

i was reading about high compression/ water injection systems. So I was wondering wouldn't it be good to use with lower octane and a minimal jet size. I mean think about it: increase octane, drop temps, and cheaper than premium
