Water Injection

true. if it freezes........ it might even crack the container of water
but if you use the water injection just a precaution and not as something to add more boost then i guess you wont have to worry about detonating( or does it pump enough air , if you run out of water, to cause lean conditions)

sounds good, im actually starting to consider it........ just another precaution to preserve my engine

There were some factory Oldsmobiles in the 50s that came superchargred and had water injection. You were supposed to by a factory mixed alchohol/ water mixture that the dealer sold as "rocket fuel" for your water injection tank.
If you get a high quality and well installed system and you keep up with the water levels I guess you wouldn't have to worry about reliablity too much.
Or you could get a boost controller and run low boost levels on the street and then up the boost for the track w/ water injection...

the Aquamist is supposively the only reccommended water injection by anyone all the others are only thought of as decent.
I'm thinking this might be good for a situation like "rx73rdgen" described, allowing a higher boost to be run at the track while lowering fears of instant detonation.
Plus the steam cleaning aspect is a definite plus to avoid the carbon buildup.
I think water injection should be pushed a bit more
