your best bet is to buy that kit. at 200bucks, it will cost you very close to the same price to try to do a home made setup.

if anyone wants to buy a kit from those guys, here is a 10% off code you can try to use at check out. code: 2d4afa
im not sure if it will still work or not, but its worth a shot. youll save like 20bucks off the kit.

regardless... you can get the pump and all the parts you need from their website. they even have the instructions online, so you can see how the whole system works

yea it still works...manny gave it to me to use and it took it...saved $32 off the universal kit and 2 quart tank

hey lagos on that pump can that pressure regulator be taken out? because i was thinking about getting something like this.XXXXXXXX and adjusting the pressure to like 100 psi and buying the pressure switch,and nozzle from alcohol-injection.com then getting everything else from somewhere else.

oh i've been away for a while ....what are u using to control fuel?....

i dont think that pump has enough flow and some of those pumps cant be used with meth (washer fluid).


the pump in the kit is also a shureflow pump. so if you can find the same exact model from another place, then you could use that. but why take the risk? at best, you could probably save 30-40bucks? or you could just avoid the headache by buying something that is made to work with meth and has been used by a large amount of people.

Congrats on the set up Lagos Ive been reading more and more about Wi and how its supposed to be really good for turbocharged motors. At first the thought of putting water in the engine made me cringe but seeing you and manny run it with good results is starting to win me over...



I had a few questions about the kit... How long does your tank of fluid last you? I know there are variables but an estimate of a weeks worth of driving to school, work, etc. and hit 10psi occasionaly on the freeway?



second... can you use this out of the box? or do you need to tune it in professionally? I kinda want to get all my upgrades done before taking it to a dyno... that way i dont have to keep going back. but could i use it before then?



thanks for any help... Its realy appriciated

E-85 will do the trick also.



It has a higher octane rating or knock resistance due to the fact that it takes MORE to do the same job that gasoline would. But with more you also get a better cooling effect and the detonation issue is less.





But yar. Alot of guys I know running water injection systems either go with washer fluid or buy off brand gas line antifreeze and mix it with water. They guys who mix seem to have the better result, and those that change over to Ethenol injection doing a marginal amount better, but it has a bit higher expense.


A+ on doing it.

how long it lasts will very on the size of tank that you buy, how soon your injection kicks on, and how often you boost. i figure somewhere around 2-4 weeks, depending on those factors. its about 3 weeks since i installed mine, and im just about getting ready to refill it again.

you don't need any tuning for this. just install it and you'll be good to go. but, you might not see any gains from it untill you crank up your boost. if your car is at 10psi now, with WI, youll be able to turn that up to at least 15psi (with a fmic!). ive seen as much as 18psi, with no knock. but keep in mind that anything over 15psi is a bit risky and you shouldnt do it untill you visit a dyno to see how things are running.

Good stuff.

Why isnt this thread in the stickies yet? along with presure's thread...

>
because both are, "hey i just installed this" not how tos.
one or both of us im sure will do a full write up eventually that will be in there.

Perfect thats exactly what i wanted to know. 2 to 3 weeks sounds fair enough... i just didnt want it to be something that would rip right through in 2 or 3 days... even though its has potential to do so



Looks like i have something to save up for thanks a lot for the input Lagos

That is very nice. I've been wanting one for a long time but my 7A keeps pulling hard at 15 psi. Wouldn't hurt to have it on, still.
