Water injection install special

We have completed our water injection kit and we need a local or someone willing to make the drive to have it installed at the shop so we can make some nice detailed instructions. The kit is going to go for $690 all inclusive with MAP sensor, warning light, boost integration....the works. Labor would typically be about $300 with the all the wiring involved but for the first car to book the appointment I will do it for $100. That is a steal by all deffinition of the word. The sooner we get this car the sooner we can get the directions and put this thing up for sale.

This Water injection kit is the greatest thing since sliced bread. worth every penny.

Eric

Eric,

I'd love to be the first, but SCCA STU rules won't allow the kit. I'll look for it when I move to SM though.

So it's 790 for everything? What if I already have a MAP sensor installed?

Eric,
Would I need the AMS for this install? Cause I don't yet. Also, would kind of boost (like an estimated average) do you foresee running with the water injection?

subtract $75 if you already have a MAP sensor. Typically you should be able to run about 3-5psi more boost with the water injection. If you'll be running a strong mix of alky and water (50-50) you can up the boost even higher. This benefit will be even more exploited with a larger turbo. I was able to run about 29psi @ 505whp on a weak water alky mix (75% water - 25% alky) on the GT35R. I suspect we should be able to push over 30psi and 550whp on a 50-50 mix.

hahha there is no testing needed. water injection has been pruven to work a long time ago. I just want a car we can install it on and take pictures along the way to make a nice and complete instal packet. You would have to ask vishnu about carrying it but we would be honored if they did.
