Water Injection Installed

[johndjmix1]

I made a makeshift water injection system for my H2 today. Cost me about $10. Expecting gains of 5-8 MPG.

Did the same on my mustang when I was in high school, worked great....gained BIG mpg's. My teacher was seeing gains of over 20 MPG using water injection.

For those that dont know, water injection is a PROVEN way to increase milage, and power (And reduce knock and let you run more boost if you have a supercharger). Not a mystery, not somthing that is a gamble, not some new age tech thing that costs $5,000..........its old school and it works, period.

Im under the asumption that the computer will raise IGN advance and lean the mixture (Better milage). If not, someone let me know and Ill have to pick up that device that allows you to connect the laptop to do it.

Please post the before and after dyno charts along with the fuel/air logging with you water injection. BSFC would also be nice to corroborate your thesis, as would be EGT. I do not doubt the power increase, as the injection acts as a "chemical intercooler". It is the MPG increase I suspect.

FWIW, Wikipedia is a editable source page and not to be used as an end all for hard information. The info is only as good as the lasy guy(s) who posted/corrected the info.

Also, for a non-boost charged engine, this idea will not access any more HP than stock. The added "octane" and cooling of the combustion chamber isn't needed in natural asperation.

And, it isn't water. Its either alcohol or methanol. Either of which is a corrosive to a stock engine.

I piss on my air filter and have seen gains of around 35% you should try it....It really works!!

Ducky if I'm responding to you when you were making your short comment after my statement concerning something else I do not mean to even begin to start crap.

If you pay close attention to my remarks about injection it was not about mpg but, about power. I feel whatever you inj. as long as it creates power then you need less throttle to maintain desired speed. I'm yet to be convinced that you can gain huge mpg increases inj. water until I see enough people getting it done. But, I do know that someone cannot get something new going without trying. Most increase in knowledge has come from people going out onto the edge of the envelope.

Now again I feel inj. or just additional cool air blown right on intake or heads as far as I know should help to increase power which can create the opportunity to use less fuel to maintain the same perf.

I hope I have clarified my thoughts as I hope to encourage experimentation on all vehicles in any way and for whatever reason.

No kidding. Can't wait to see this train wreck. I predict a truckload of fail.

Johndjmix1,

Where's the picture of the install?!

I'm starting to feel a chuckle coming on!
