Hello Robert,
You need to drill and tap the water jet some where along the inlet tract,
preferably immediately after the intercooler.
We have two versions of water injection system.
System1 is triggered by boost only, the trigger point is determined by an
adjustable pressure switch installed in the manifold (3-30psi).
System2 is comes with an electronic controller (MF2), mappable between
2000-9000 RPM at 1000 intervals, load signal is either supplied by an
adjustable pressure switch or a MAP sensor (not supplied) for a true 3-D
mapping, water flow is progressive with pressure. The water line is
pre-pressuised (adjustable between 4-8bars) at start up, flow quantity is
regulated by a solenoid valve via MF2.
More product and price detail is on our website www.aquamist.co.uk and
suitable MAP sensor for your purpose. See the supplier list section for more
technical details of the MAP sensor.
Apart from effectively cooling the inlet charge, water's main
contribution is predominately used for in-cylinder cooling.
Recently feedback from a GMC syclone user (3.8L, V6 turbo) has
achieved a EGT reduction of 40 degree.C; with water injection on,
the EGT dropped from 890 C down to 850 C, this reduction can not
be matched by an intercooler of any kind.
I think people has been so obsessed with intercooler, mainly
because it was the only thing around to effectively achieve
induction air cooling. Water will be your next step on you quest
for in-cylinder cooling, the main cause for engine failure is
excess cylinder temperature, water is the only item that will be
the job properly, apart from fuel dumping of course!
Water injection is a very old concept, but extremely effective in reducing
high peak cylinder that causes detonation, have a quick read on the article
(bottom on the page) on the reference section on the Website:
