Only inject water when th engine is under load - vacuum suction during idling is stronger. So better build one with pump and switch. Turning off the injection minutes before we turn off engine will ensure all excess water is gone. There should be some gains cos water is a good heat absorbtion.
*
pump n switch would add up the cost adi... not willing to spend so much on something not assured to be reliable in long term... besides, racing cars and rally cars use their car for 1 year (or mayb less).... after that they completely strip it down for overhaulin or change new engine....

have done this before on my carb engine and low end really improves, same method as catacumbs  laugh.gif , but during idling a bit messy...ur idling will be freaky or maybe i use those aquarium stones are too big hence too much water masuk intake tongue.gif
*
unker, my setup same with urs... but why mine tak jadi arr??... is it because ur car running high compression, which causes high engine temp... water vapour helps to absorb heat away and prevents detonation....
as for my car, everything stock standard... no detonation or any overheating problem, thats why not much difference....

correct me if wrong unker... unsure.gif

mine a bit gila on idling is becos the stone too big hence causing too much vapour but one things for sure, 1 trip to klang and come back kl..half a tank gone...and fc only improves a little, worth da try considering cheap cost in doing it DIY style  laugh.gif
*
yeap... i notice altering the stone position (high/low) will give u different amount of bubbles, which produce different vapour density... at the end, i got fedup fine tuning the right amount of water vapour.... hahahah...

unker, u tried mixing with alcohol before??... so far i tried pure tap water only.... not much difference...

is the extra power response worth it?

in short term, yes.... in long term, dunno... u dont know what water will do to ur pistons and valves... u might fried them....

not exhaust laa . TB as in throttle body piping . there's a hole just right below the injector nozzle after a few months.

anyway, my pistons are forged piston . comes stock with the engine . still good for 20psi of boost  tongue.gif

noler... in the hose, the water wanna evaporate go where??....

seen my bro in law doing but at that time i was thinking 'what the hell...' didnt know it is a proven technology. coz my bro-in-law use water bottle and some mini valve like the aquarium use one. idling is a problem to my bro system. idling will be sluggish. hmm if the system is properly controll, isiit good? maybe i should experiment with it as well..
*
thats what i did la... u need to find the correct volume of mist entering ur combustion chamber only makes some difference.... and the mist must be tiny enough... big droplets will make ur car sluggish...

Hey guys,

Im interested in getting this water injection system...as seen on maxperformance.com but couldnt find a contact number and no reply to the email i sent them. Can any1 help me out??...

it would be easier if i were to purchase it locally la...dont wanna the hassle to buy things from ebay and all...and already tried with the aquarium valve and using existing vacumm lines....not so good during idle...

so, pls gimme some contacts...or if u have one for sale...would buy it..

thanks u alll!! rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

too expensive la...I saw some restaurants create mist using nozzles, perfect for this kind of application..not too wet...wonder what kind of pump they use.

hmm like i say it situated at the throttle body, when idle there is very little vacum. like iswara, there is such vacum for advancing the timing.

u mean the ERG thingy??...

hmmm...how bout ultrasonic mist generator???
those mist producing things u see on those rolling crystal balls in shopping complexes....

put it in a bottle then put a flexible pvc hose on the top of the bottle connecting it to the intake near the butterfly valve. the suction shud suck the mist into the engine
*
engine suction power would not be strong enough ler...

Wa so kanasai ar the ecu? I not sure bout the saga blm because this car really rojak, the campro also a bit different from gen2 one not using spark cable anymore all use direct coil and the manifold is made of plastic already and the rotary disk use savy one not gen2 =.=

wtf??... manifold made of plastic??... melt la... doh.gif doh.gif
