Tell me you think of this

checl out this link to the product. supose to supress knocking and over heating in the cylinders due to running lean.

Where does the water get sprayed? I hope not into the cylinder seeing as how water is not combustable.

Seems really pricey as well,

Hmm.... need more info on this one.

I was thinking about using that a long time ago if I ever get the damn money to turbo my car.

I was goign to do this on my setup to run more boost and not use an IC at one point so I have reasearched this. yes it does spray into the combustion chamber but this is the purpose of H2O/Alcohol injection. H2O has a higher heat thershhold than air so by spraying ATOMIZED air into the intake track it absorbs heat let off by the turbo or supercharger thus creating a cooling charge. Only drawback is that it isn't combustable so you do loose some power to make power by turning up the boost but loose it by loosing that space in teh chamber by the H2O. By no way unless you set it up totally backwards could a H2O injection kit cause hydrolock as it is spraying a very very small portion of water into your engine and it is spraying it in at a atomized form, we are talking smaller than mist here people. On the average a 13 gallon tank of fuel on a turbo car running 12 psi of boost will use about 1 gallon of water or less. Aquamist sells 3 different kits. The basic kit that is what you see in that link. Another kit that uses an additional injecotr controller that lets you talor the mist curve and then another setup that works in conjuction with a Haltech ECU where you control the parameters on it. I hope that clears up a few things on water injection. Oh yeah BTW its the same "liquid intercooler" Jackson Racing uses with their SC kits it is just a aquamist system rebadged as a JR system if memory serves me right the Aquamist pump pushes water out at close to 80-100 psi i may be wrong there though.

if you do a search on water/alcohol injection............this has been discussed extensivley in the past by Big ben
