I want to try water injection. Does any body know any good companies that sells them as kits? I want it to come on with a boost switch around 11-12psi.

I know of Aquamist and

srtforums has a whole chapter dedicated to water/alky and everything injection so check it out might be a little more helpful

^ Thanks for that other site. I like there Variable boost contoller. I can start @ 8psi then full injection @ around 12psi. Not a bad price either. I think I might be getting that system so I can turn the boost up a little.

Give ed @ http://www.chargedperformance.com/ a call. He seemed like a pretty good guy when my buddy bill was dealing with him. Plus, I am pretty sure they are semi local (philly area possibly, if memory serves me.).

seconded about ed being a good local resource for wi tuning. hes an aquamist fan iirc but the priciples hold true no matter hwo you get it in there.

I'm going to have to hold of on the water injection for now. I gotta get the van fixed first.


But I'm picking up a set of 680cc injectors for 80 bucks for now just to give it a little bit more fuel. So now I'll be running 720's for secondaries and 680's for primaries.

LoL.. The thing already runs pig rich. I had sesolcSTI saying that he could smell fuel from my car and he was driving behind me.

I'm running 720's and 550's already, so getting rid of the 550's and replacing them with 680's shouldn't be to bad. With the PLX wideband @10psi my AFR's are aound high 10's and if I turn the boost up to 12 then they are around mid 11's. So hopefully I'll be able to turn the boost up to alteast 13-14 psi somewhat safely.

not sure where you guys fall afr wise but for us 11:1 is pretty much the celing without some kinda injection.

They say the same thing with RX7's. They say to tune for high 10's and low low 11's. Thats why I want to get bigger injectors and try water injection to try and stay "safe".

i woudl surely already have an aquamist installed if it werent for the failsafes being.. well... failsafe. you have a pump fail and lean out to 14:1 or more at 10+ psi and it will not be pretty.
