So is there any new developments on the injection kit yet? Do you guys have any kind of eta? Also do you have any pics or dyno sheets? Thanks guys

Here's a few teaser pics. The next time I have the airbox out or put it up in the air, I'll snap one of the unit itself. No wisecracks on how dirty the inside is Don't fear, you won't have to contend with the plethora of datalogging equipment

WI and ECU reflash

Hi,

Just curious about your WI injection system.

Do you reprogram the ECU to take into account the effect of the water on the load?
Since you are injecting the water post-MAF, the water presumably cools the air and/or causes less air to be inducted per stroke because of the water droplets taking up space. Is this effect negligible?

Thanks.

Yes, we will be offering the upgraded Brain Flash software with this product. I can't say if the effect is negligible, but is taken into account while tuning.

So what if the user decides to disable the WI or the water runs out.
How does the ECM know to take the WI trim that you've inherently included in the reflash?

Sounds like a cool product, so I'm interested in how it functions.

Thanks.

Oh, one more thing, when I said reprogram, I meant to ask if you're actually adding new functions in the code, not just changing calibration parameters.

Thanks.

WORKS is accounting for this. If I'm not mistaken this has been a key factor in the lengthy development process.

This is true The quick answer is that it will default to a lower boost level if the pump runs out of water/power, etc... in order to keep things from going awry inside the combustion chamber.

Question

So how does the ECU know that there is a pump failure?

Have you guys added a software feature to enable it to switch to a safer solenoid map?

In my mind, I am still confused about whether you guys have added a software feature or simply just tweaked so calibration values.

Also, for people who live in colder climates, will this product still work? What happens in the water in injector freezes?

Thanks.
