Water injection

[Blown353]

blown353 comments are on the money with hooking it up. The only thing is i recomend using the check valve we include verses a solnoid. Its elec item and at some point it may fail either off or on. Checkvavles hardly go bad but are not 100% 0 leak.

I don't like solenoids either-- one more thing to fail. I only mentioned them because they are a necessity if installing the injection nozzles below the throttle blades (i.e. exposed to vacuum.) That's why I much prefer installing the nozzles prior to the throttle blades, as that eliminates the need for solenoids (unless you have the nozzles mounted lower than the tank.)



Check valves are definately a good idea if you delay your pump turn on until higher boost levels, that way the boost doesn't force the water back out of the lines. I have my pump starting (and just barely running) at only 3 psi of boost so I didn't bother with checkvalves as I didn't have a severe backflow problem when I pressure tested the system. If I had my pump turn on point pushed back to say 10 psi then I would definately run check valves, as 10psi of boost prior to pump starting would definately backflow the lines and delay the time from pump turn on to actual flow of water out of the nozzles.

By the way, what is the size of your actual control box? I may be doing an install on a friend's car and would like to know dimensions for panel fitment and fab (also, is there a main driver box seperate from the control panel?)

Troy,

The controller is 2.5" by 1.5" by .75" thick. There are no separate boxes.
