    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    So far, I'm pleased with the results. I drove it from south Carolina to north Carolina, pulled some steep grades on the way up. I never sifted out of 5th, ran 15 psi boost for several minutes non stop and the EGT never got over 1150. I do have some methanol mixed with the water, about 1.5%...

    Insane home Water/meth injection...

    I finished the water/methanol injection system. It works great, I was able to run over 20 psi boost and keep the EGT at 1200. This wasn't an optimal setting. I had the injection u it maxed out and obviously had the fuel turned up alot. I ended up going with 15 psi boost and about 50% of the...

    I gathered more parts and fittings for the water injection today. Here is a few photos of the pump and water tank location. The tank is 26 gallons.

    This pump is electronically controled, it's fully programmable. The max pressure it puts out is 250 Psi. The nozzle is a 10 gph @100 psi.

    The pump is gravity fed, as long as the pump is lower than the water, your good.

    Went and picked up a waterproof junction box, to mount the pump in. Also bought a 26 gallon tank for the water, going to mount both in the bed.

    Water injection is a great way to clean carbon off pistons, valves and rings. I have the 20:1 LDS pistons in my engine, I'm going to experiment with methanol mixed with the water. I know for fact that alcohol mixed with water will not work on the 22:1 compression engines, it pre ignites.

    Well I finally pulled my Alky Control, water injection unit off the shelf, I also just received a heavy duty waterproof 24-12 volt DC converter, it's 15 amp continues duty. So hopefully I will get everything hooked up in the next few days. When I do, I'll let you all know how well it works. The...

    I had a 427 big block Chevy in a 4 X 4 truck that turned 7200 rpm @ 30 lbs boost back in the early 80s😜

    The flow is controled using a module that turns the system on at a boost pressure of your choice. There is another controller for the flow rate. The adjustments are almost infinite. This system can spry way more water than this engine will ever need. Don't quote me, but I think I payed...

    Well I bought one of those high dollar water injection units from a member on here last year. It's all electronic controled. Haven't had time to install it yet. I was talking to an ex military mechanic that use to work on those engines. He is aware of what alcohol mixed with the water will do...

    I ordered a kit from Jwaller here on SS.i have the D turbo, I haven't stayed in the throttle long enough to really know how hot the EGT will get.

    I'll post my results, right now I'm running about 13 lbs of boost and the EGT's will go to 1250 pretty easy when pulling a hill hard. Shooting for about 20lbs boost and 1,100 EGT. I don't have the water injection installed yet.

    I just ordered a water injection kit for my M35a2, I found some 24 volt in tank water heater elements on line. I was thinking I could put one in a water tank and insulate the tank, there 600 watt elements. I'm thinking if the tank is well insulated, it won't take a lot to keep it warm. Could...
