nos and water injection are like apples and grapes. nos is actually rotary suicide if not properly installed. whereas water injection could be a means to help your engine last longer. even if you have NA, water injection is proven to clean the inside of engines. kinda like steam cleaning, it helps reduce the carbon buildup. you wont get much HP gains but your engine will last that much longer(hopefully)

How difficult would it be to install a kit?

We have different level kits and they require different install times. If you use your stock water tank and keep the pump under the hood the installation is fairly quick. Any competent mechanic can do it with most cars in under an hour. To the average DIYer I'd give you 2 hours max.



It requires wiring of a relay (Ground, Battery, ignition, boost or vacuum signal input, pump output).



Mounting the equipment (injector, solenoid or checkvalve, pump, water hose).



If you ever wired an alarm system or keyless entry this will be a piece of cake. If you ever installed a NOS system you will understand this as the installation can be similar (although they do different things).



thanks!

hey since youre here, is there anyway i can piece together my own kit? i dont need a boost switch cause my ECU can do that itself, all ireally need is the pump, the tank, the injector and some water lines.
