Water Injection

[180bfj20det]

I had the great opportunity to get in contact with an Englishman who has currently over 300rwkW in his CA18 and which is used as a track car and has done so reliably for over a year easily. I think his secret comes down to water injection which he runs without disguise.

Now I imagine water injection isnt just a matter of sticking water in the inlet air. IT has to be sprayed as a mist and at a certain time (ie on boost).

I am new to water injection so if some of my questions seem simple, please dont insult me

Having seen a zoom magazine covering water injection a while ago cheaply, is there a way you know to cheaply setup and run H2O injection? Ie what components, how to mount it, what pump etc?

Can aftermarket CPUs be used to drive a water injection system and if yes how?

Do you need to increase the amount of water as load on boost increases?

Please any other details and help would be appreciated.

Thanks again

tried a search?

it was a long time ago (read: over a year), but this was covered in a fair detail way back when.

Should still be around and might take a little longer than norm to find

You could use many things to get the water injection to initialise. Would be quite easy.

Could use anything from an RPM engager (autometer sell these and I can order for around the $150 mark), or even use an Apexi RSM.

Quite easy to set up I would think.

them easiest best way is to run a $40 pressure switch, so it actives at a set boost level.

the water has to be atomised into a fine mist, and you have to take care in ensuring you are running correct water to fuel ratios, or you'll hydro lock your motor..

you're looking at about $300 - $400 for a proper DIY setup

But yeah as R31Nismoid said. It has been covered before in the past.
