Just curious if anyone here has run water injection, if so what were the results.

cdhd2001 09-05-2003, 03:50 PM I ran a water alcohol mix in my supercharged 6.0L. It reduced detonation okay, but is not that good for a daily driver. You have to fill the tank too many times. BTW, I didn't think it would work a diesel, seeing as how a diesel responds to water?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif TomHill 09-05-2003, 03:58 PM I have heard of people running water injection and have read some articles on the web. I want to put this on my new engine, I was thinking about an Aquamist system. Hypermax sells them for diesels so I don't think it would be that bad. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley24.gif Just looking to get the EGT's down some, so I can add more fuel.

Tom Just curious, what kind of water injection system did you have? I have read where other people had a problem with pitting on the compressor wheel due to the fact the water hadn’t turned into a fine mist at the intake. Joey D 09-07-2003, 10:20 AM Tom, Check out Heath Diesl he has done plenty of water injection systems jesshd 09-07-2003, 11:34 AM Water injection should be done post turbo, no matter the engine. Best place is after the intercooler. Jess RATDOC 09-07-2003, 04:56 PM TOMHILL: While I've never bothered with waterinjection on any D2 application, I firmly believe that the best results are achieved with only a proper sized intercooler. I've seen a lot of systems designed, but few that actually made a huge difference as compaired to an intercooler. I agree with JOEY D when he said Heath has a good one, but even Bill himself will admit that an intercooler is best. The opinion I gave about water injection causing possible harm to turbos was from a few(quite a few) turbocharged race engines I've built for various customers and many experiments I've conducted trying to get every last ounce of power from them. These engines were all of the 8 second and faster variety, not street motors, and not a single one showed any better numbers. Tom http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley16.gif | ||
