What water/meth injection kit do I have?

Post by rubenski »

Hello,

While the site was down I acquired a water/meth injection system.

Price was good and the kit was never used.

No documentation, no box or manual.

The main things I'm missing that i know of: reservoir and dash switch.

The most important thing I need to know is how to hook it up, what specs and what am I missing?

When I re-install the amr-500 supercharger next year I want as many parts ready to go and complete.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you have a bunch of parts for a WI setup.
I built mine from off the shelf items so you should be able to make those work.
Wire up the pump and put a gauge on the line with it plugged to see how much pressure it is putting out.
You want 120-200 lbs if possible.
My 120 lbs is the minimum you want.

Check the flow through the nozzle by pumping into a container for 30 seconds or a minute and then measure the amount.
You will need a good solenoid to stop the vacuum from sucking water out of the tank if you put the nozzle below the throttle plate. A Blower might be a little different.

You need to figure out how much water to spray in. There are calculators online you can use.

On the first picture, bottom left, isnt that the solenoid to keep water from sucking in by vaccum?

This summer i will setup a test board to see how everything works.

Good idea with the 1 minute test.

How much do you inject at 11psi?

I have a 1.0 gph nozzle starting at 6 lbs boost and a 2.0 gph kicking in at 10 lbs boost. It never stays at 10 lbs. for very long since I am running 22 lbs. right now.
The online calculator I use puts me pretty close to the 25% liquid that is supposed to be optimum at full load high boost for the projected hp I am trying to run.
My IAT's stay down at around 130-135* F. At that pressure the calculators say the temp out of the turbo at 22 lbs. would otherwise be 264* F.

That looks like a solenoid to me.... you just need to make sure it can stay closed under vacuum conditions. Some only work in pressure conditions like the elcheapo valves I was running.
I replaced the vacuum side solenoid with a better one and my water lasts a lot longer now..... :oops: :roll:

You also will need a Hobbs adjustable pressure switch so you can set the the activation pressure.
Mine are adjustable from 2-14 lbs. or maybe 4-14 lbs.
I make them activate the solenoid and the pump so there is only water pressure when the Hobbs kicks it on.
I have the activation light hooked to the output side of the pump relay so I know when the pump turns on.
The Hobbs is also ground activating.

And would the part with the 3 elektrical connections and 1 boost line be the hobbs switch?
