How many using injection (H2O, Alcohol)?
How many using injection (H2O, Alcohol)?
Just curious how many are using some sort of injection to help with detonation control. Not really interested in NO2, it's used for different reasons.
Please only vote on poll if you have an injection system.

I've been experimenting. I've run 12.2:1 on 91 octane without knock, but I had to retard timing and lower boost.
Now I'm running 22psi, with good timing (up to 20deg) with afr 11.4:1 becoming gradually richer to 10.7:1 by 8000rpms. (these afrs are off due to the injection, which makes them seem richer than they are).
I'm also running straight washer fluid (20% methanol).
I'm going to slowly lean out afrs until I sense knock then back off. I've been doing my tuning in 4th gear on a road with a slight incline (more load).
It pulls like crazy. The 1 1/2gal res. lasts more than a full tank of gas, and I boost ALL THE TIME.

Have had an Aquamist 2D system in the car for the past year. Started out with straight water and now run 50/50 mix of water and methanol. For detonation control, the water's good, but won't make any more power, hence why I run the mixture now. 27psi on pump gas is certainly a good thing.

Stock turbo still. I've been using a 0.8mm jet and it's been pretty reliable. You can crank the boost up higher than that if you want. 25 should be fine, even with straight water.
Be careful with the methanol, it's addictive and easy to become a meth head.

This sounds awsome, I dont really know how this all works. Can someone please explain. How much are these kits going for? I saw the one direct kit for the evo is there anymore kits out there. How safe is this.

Thanks guys on the info i appreciate it. Sounds good. I was considering the co2 intercooler kit because my intake tems are pretty high. Any1 have anything good to say about that? theres about 200 dollar diffrence is price but i know you get what you pay for.Just wondering tho
I think you will get more out of a simple water injection setup than you will from spraying the IC with CO2. Check out the discussion forum on aquamist.co.uk. They talk about the benefits of water vs. water+methanol vs. methanol vs. propane vs. IC spraying, etc.
I just had the Buscher kit installed and have mixed up some 50-50 methanol/water with a couple capfuls of Marvel Mystery Oil since I can't find the Klotz additive. I'm getting tuned this coming weekend in Dallas by Vishnu so I really haven't used the system other than to verify that it IS spraying. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of gains can be had from this system.
I'm currently running a Vishnu Stage 1+ with a testpipe and the car pulls really nicely on the base map provided, but I think there's a lot of room for improvement. Will post up the numbers once I get back. I had a switch installed so that I can turn the alky system off completely so that I can run a pump gas map in the event that the resevoir gets low. Can't wait!!
