Does anybody have experience of Water injection for tt Zeds, if so i would appreciate the chance to talk to you,

 

thanks

 

Sayers

not directly, but what exactly are you hoping to achieve? do you have detonation issues?

No, just want to understand the real life benefits and pitfalls of using this type of approach to increase BHP. And associated costs

I was looking that this to. so it cools the intake charge spraying a mist into the intake system. from what I was reading you would have to remap ecu to use it so I was reading. I gave it a miss in the end. am going to uprate the intercoolers and fit co2 spray on the intercoolers

using it as a 'fudge' to allow running high boost on an more or less standard car is not a great idea. uprating the intercoolers is a far better idea.

 

good luck.

I've got a snow performance setup on mine

tell us more about it

Yeah, what's that

here are some water/meth injection kits

hmmmm , like the idea of intercooler spray kits, dead simple and possibly reasonable power gains. Securicar can you drop me a text using 07929 159828 appreciate a chat if possible

From my understanding, water injection kits allow you to run high boost level. In excess of 20 psi I think.

Basically I believe it keeps detonation at bay and therefore protects the inner components from letting go.

Also, I think it is only effective at high boost as apposed to the entire range so not that effective during everyday driving.

It's basically a very fine mist of water and meth that's sprayed into the inlet, this gives a richer mix more than standard fuel, meth is highly volatile so give great force in the combustion chambers, it will allow to use more boost more safely when set up correctly

 

There's a vid explaining

Sorry, I don't know much about water/meth injection on zeds but I did inherit a stage 2 snow performance kit on my monaro (now sadly gone). Because it was running a big-ish supercharger that ran fairly hot, it was installed to simply reduce intake temperature not for additional power as it really didn't need it. It was producing 580-600 bhp anyway, depending on how cold it was. I found the kit really difficult to set up and took weeks of trial an error to get it to work at all. Even after that, I'm not sure it made that much difference to the engine temperatures when I did get it to start spraying at the right revs. I reckon that I would have only get the best out of it if it was properly mapped to the ecu. For snow performance kits at least, my best advice would be to stick to it as a performance enhancement, mapped for your own preference.

 

Below is the best pic I have of where it was plumbed in to the intake manifold,
