Water injection - yes or no?

[Zardo]

Hi,

imagine you would have a second injection system which would inject WATER instead of fuel.

How would you feel about it?

Hi

Have an Aquamist water injection sytem on my 1242cc MPi Turbo Cinq. Lets you run higher boost without detonation.

sounds good. How far will you get with a 10 l water tank?

methanol / water, not just water

I have a water injection kit but I use a 50/50 water+methanol mix. Not sure how far I would get on 10L as it depends how you drive it as it only injects at high boost.

I ran 50/50 water methanol on my 924 Turbo Carrera GT spec. Ran much higher boost. I ran it off the washer bottle which was about 7.5l but was not enough for a long run using the washers/wipers.

so you can use it for induction cooling AND washing the buggs off the screen.

awesome!!!



TBH water/methanol injection is often substituted for when an engine isn't properly mapp'd, or your trying to get more out of it than what is really safe.
