No fuel injector on the market can run water. Trust me, I researched for months and emailed EVERYONE! If you want to go with the injector concept like I have been working on, you need to run full alcohol.

Thank you for your response.

What are the reasons everybody gave you to affirm that?
As far as I know, you just have to add some soluble oil (a very few) in the water to avoid oxidation on pump and injector.
Please send me your feedback!
Cheers.

Because the minerals in water will oxidize the internal components over time, far faster than alcohol fuels too. Water is a harsh substance on metals. Adding ANY oil to the mix lowers the overall octane of the fuel mixture which isn't really a step in the right direction really. Ssend a ton of emails to injector manufacturers like I did. It didn't take long for me to realize that 20+ emails stating how its not a good idea to use water from all of these manufacturers meant one thing....don't use water,lol.

What are you trying to achieve with the use of water?

Thank you Jack for your contribution.
First of all, I will use distilled water (as well as all WRC car use with no alcohol neither meth)...
My goal with water is to cold air, get better combustion, and less knock to boost arround 28-30 PSI...
I agree there are a lot of more tests to do but I don not want to give up that fast!
I'll let you know and I really appreciate your comments, please don't give up on feedback with my actual "lost case!"
Thanx

WRC doesn't use it because they have strict fuel requirements. They would if they could. Also, they use a setup like the aquamist injectors, not fuel injectors.

Quoted from RB Racing
19. Fuel Injectors operate in the 1 Millisecond range and are not capable of long term usage for H20 as they will corrode or rust shut in a very short period of time. Unless a solenoid can open as fast as a fuel injector it should not be used to "pulse" water injection events.
The fuel injectors you see are for FUEL. The blue rail uses standard nozzles like every other water injection kit. Especially since they are RC Engineering fuel injectors which aren't made with ANY stainless steel parts at all so they would die VERY fast!

Also, if you are running stock injectors, they are 560cc/min, not 512's like you mentioned.


Oh and the name is Jamie....and my screen name says JACK, not JAKE!

Hi Jamie,
That's why I guess it's time for me to learn from all your previous investigations!
Thanx for your help.
