Hey I found a cheap little injector for a water injection system, Try a 0.5mm mig welder tip most have a M5 thread so you can drill them into your manifold and tap them with no problems and they are easily available! |

What do you use to preasurist the water? and what sort of atomisation do you get from the tip? -anthony |

I am running 10psi and the jets stop any pinking and are letting me run about another 10deg of advance which makes a much better engine off boost! Will start running 50/50 water/methylated spirits soon to see if any more power is possible! miniman |

We find if you use a washing machine waste pump and the solonoid inlet valves you get a much better flow of detergent. This has the added effect of cleaning your valves in the rinse cycle. To stop the pinking use "colour run" at a 50 percent mix with methanol although this may discolour the exhaust. this may not suit your application but is ideal for most cc`s above 1330. |
