  • water injection is a must on high compression and or high boost supercharge or turbo charged performance veihicles it lowers the chance of a devastating engine wrecking detenation -only problem is remembering to keep the water supply topped up .

  • Loads of info can be found @ methanol-injection *co*uk on water and methanol injection

  • Ha you are right, water injection has been used for years, I think it started in planes. There is heaps of information on the web re this. I have not fitted the direct port system yet, other projects/cars have been using my money. Probably be fitting it later in the year.

  • I'm amazed that people are unable to actually google "water injection" and read about how it works. I guess that would be asking too much.

  • You are partially right. However if you run an engine on a more volitile mixture the excessive heat would normally be lost to the cooling system. This heat can be harnessed inside the engine as expansive force as the fine water droplets absorb latent heat and expand into vapour which pushes the piston. In a normal engine this is not possible because the flame propergation rate would slow too much to allow full combustion each power stroke but add hydrogen and the use of atomised water works.

  • even though it may keep the temp down. ur just easing your block away. it doesnt matter if you put distilled water in it. the corrosion will fry ur block faster than you think. its just a matter of time

  • Not correct combustion of hydrocarbon fuel (petrol) already gives off large amounts of water vapour. The exhaust contains mix of H2O, CO, CO2 and Oxides of Nitrogen, higher levels of water vapour would have little effect on the engine itself. The exhaust system however may deteriorate slightly quicker.

  • Hey can you tell me all about how you did this and if it worked or works well for you installed and in all conditions. I'm calling aqua tune tomorrow. I have a twin turbo Z and I really want water injection! I wanna do it right. Call me too, that'd be best. 541-513-9230 I'm in Portland.

  • lol your crazy putting your phone number on youtube like that. to many crazies!! did you ever get the water injection done to your Z?

  • basically it allows more boost, and timing. Water helps keep the temp down in the combustion chamber - reducing detonation and knock; while the methanol also cools things down, but also acts like a higher octane fuel source.

  • i dont get it... what does water injection do for your motor???
