so hillfolk, for your setup, is the spray pattern more of a jet or is it an atomized cone? I've been researching the DIY water/meth injection systems and am under the assumption that a cone shaped spray pattern would be best.
it actually sprays out the sides in 4 streams,i let them aim at the walls of the intake pipe to breakup the fluid more
its atomized somewhat,but since its being drawn into the turbo,that finishes the job nicely
that must be a *** to add oil if you dont have a funnel
the price you pay to go fast
besides.less oil in the pan,less windage,etc :lol: :lol: :lol:
yea i carry a funnel,but it doesnt really use more than a qt every 3k,and i have an open crankcase breather
actually,you can pull up on the boost tube slightly to give more room
You don't even need a pump if you're cunning :wink:
If you plumb a boost line in to your reservoir you can use that pressure to push the water in to the intake through the nozzle, since the intake isn't under pressure. The reservoir obviously has to be sealed so your boost doesn't escape!
You can use a solenoid and pressure switch to control the water flow, and the nozzle size will determine the flow rate relative to boost pressure.
A VW tuner in the UK thought this up a few years ago and it worked really well

find a book called turbochargers by hugh mcinnes ,published by hp books
it has tons of turbo /water injection/ ic/install setups
my new setup(when i put on an ic ) will be like this,sorta
but ill use a metal can that can hold 40 psi of boost
run a boost reference line to the tank,but ill keep the washer pump,and put the jet after the ic
dont put water injection thru an ic,itll puddle out
since the boost line equalizes the psi in the tank,and boost is pushing against the jet,,when you hit the washer pump,you should get flow of fluid thru the jet
and from some of my turbo books ive been reading,it may give a little more power than putting it in preturbo
its fuzzy,i scanned it from the book,maybe you can see whats goin on though
this one is the "m+w water injection for dieselfarm tractors"
no wonder nothin runs like a deere
yea the blue washer fluid is best
my turbo book says "theres no advantage in running more than a 50-50 mix of water meth"
i noticed not much of a power increase with straight water
washer fluid is best
if you use a switch like me remember to let off the mix in between shifts because if you dont shift fast,it sort of runs away and wants to rev to the moon
i describe the water injection as a "controlled runaway"
