i'm gonna buy an aquamist kit but my question is with enough water i should be able to run 20-25 psi on pump gas right ? 15psi simply isn't doing it anymore i really want to see what my car can do without putting in C16 everytime!

I'm not running water injection on my car and i'm still getting good HP but it's winter here and i'm still running pump fuel.

i'm scared to run that much boost on pump gas..... the last thing i want to do is blowup and have to rebuild this and the turbo.... need lots of boost reliably https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I haven't personally tested it yet although my friend Tony and I are in the process of figuring out what it takes to install one of these in both of our cars. I suspect tyou can run 4 or 5 psi higher than pump gas but it's pushing it really. I'm also not sure on the efficacy of distilled water vs. distilled water & alcohol mixture or which is better over the other. Lots of questions on this end to be answered.

mostly turbo, unless you have some super high compression engine running on crappy gas

vosko...... have you ever thought about chilling your gas line and your intercooler with CO2? so you can drop the intake temp even more...... and more boost

vosko 07-18-2003 06:26 PM

water injection i can deal with..............but none of that crap
