I get what your wanting to put it on. The question is why? I don't see what benefit you would see putting water injection on a naturally asperated engine.
Meh who knows. I do get a terrible whine after about 45. Starting to wonder if something in my tranny or transfer case isn't getting ready to go on me. Maybe that could be slowing me down? I'll get it figured out. Speaking of coming down what you got going on this weekend?
This is basic chemistry. Pure water is very unstable. Which is why you will NEVER find pure water in nature. It wants to combine with other molecules to become stable. So when you combine distilled water with antifreeze or methanol it's no longer distilled pure water.
Now in the case of water...
There are tractor pullers that run these engines at 3500+rpm with water and meth injection.
Several members have built water injection systems into their duece. The problem they had was either the water was used too quickly or it didn't make enough of a dent in egt's to matter. Now maybe if...
Ok I get that. I also understand what the intended idea behind deleting the water flow around the intake is. Here's the point I was making. If your worried about intake air getting warmed up by 180 degree water then how is it going to be better if you expose the intake air to 1200+ degree...
Wow bro. I'm fully aware of what a cummins can handle. Your not the first person to come to this forum with wild dreams of making a multifuel a power house and in the end they either never succeed or if they do all of their efforts gained marginal benefits.
It's your truck and your engine so...
62mph? What's your ram's at that speed with 9.00-20 tires?
Since the exhaust and intake manifolds are intertwined the coolant flowing through the intake cools the intake air. I can't say for sure but I don't think you would gain much by blocking off coolant flow to the intake manifold.
I was thinking of a stainless or aluminum fuel cell. Maybe mounting it where the pioneer rack used to be (I'm not bobbing mine). Between the frame rails is a good place I was thinking of also.
I forgot where I saw it but there was a sealant that you could dump in a tank and roll the tank...
I pretty much have the same plan you do on the paint. Everything but the cab and drive train will be removed.
I may map out where I want to install a water tank and the pump while I'm in the process. I dunno. Too many ideas floating around in my head.
Ya the sureflo will probably work. I haven't started this project either. Bout to strip my truck down for paint and body work in a month or so. I may or may not get to this one anytime soon.
I'm sure the alcoholinjectionsystems pump is just a relabeled shurflo or similar type pump. But considering it's $140.00 and the shurflo pumps are in that ballpark price I'd just get the pump i know will work. That's just my opinion.
What size nozzle are you planning on running? I was...
Considering I have found dedicated water/meth injection pumps preset to 220psi for around $150.00 I just don't see it being worth it cobbling together extra bypass valves or pressure switches.
Then again I'm lazy and willing to spend a little more money. I know there are many guys who are...
