Ok so I am looking through the Group buys today and see the Aquamist GB going on, Seems pretty and to the point, and I understand the whole concept



My question is, who is using it, and what are you benefitting from it. What type of boost increase are you seeing and what fuel/ motor combo do you have it running on.





I also found a little cheaper kit for those that do not want to spend all the cash on the Aquamist system



SMC Alcohol injection kit

the only car i know of in my area with a alcohol setup is a supra...its installed but not working as of yet, hes still trying to get the other bugs out before using it. When he does i'll fill you in on the #s with and without.

well the guy hooked up the alcohol setup and on its first use there was a difference of 60whp, gained 60hp just by cooling, nothing else was touched. There still more that has to be done with it but thats a very good start if you ask me.

Friend of mine is running it. I have no numbers though... He grenaded his diff at the track... I'll see if I can get some pics. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Dragon runs water inj.



he's running some crazy boost on jap pump gas

I know Dragon and a few of the guys here have it. But we also have higher octane fuel here. I am trying to get a basis for the statesdie guys. The Buick Grand National guys have been using it successfully for years But they don't use systems as complicated as the Aquamist systems. I figured this might be a good thread to get started for the guys that have the system, or are about to purchase a system to get some feedback from the rotary community.

Actually I was boosting 1.4 on the T70 running on base 89 Oct gas with no knock... Water injection is the most important upgrade on any high boosting 13B in my opinion with the excepion of a damn good fuel system...

Seems that not many people actually have it over here. I'm very interested in it though.



Maybe Dragon can give us some info on his setup and how he hooked it all up. Meaning what water tank, how much water you use, etc...

we use water injection quite alot here in the uk- usefull just to lower the charge air temp just that little bit more. Should be a mod for the sr20det in my car pretty soon.



I also know alot of people over here run a 50/50 water/methanol mix
