Was on the right track

It states only on superchargers & turbo chargers though.

works v well ive never used it my self but it seams to be a top job u can run a load more timing with it

it goes into your intercooler pipe or throttle body and sprays a fine mist to lower intake temps

I dont know if you can have a flow map in the emb. For this you need a proper injector in the system of the high pressure water/methanol (most use this mix on 50/50%).
Good systems come with their controler.
Simple systems is more a switch on and off type triggering by boost pressure.
Benefits will be noticable above 12-14 psi. Cooling the fuel/air mix charge and allowing more safe boost and much more timing.
Also something that many people probably dont know is that water ingection keep everything inside carbon deposits free.
Check for aquamist systems. Seems they know what they doing with this staff!
Diy systems can be easy made!
This water injection system can be expand including ic core!

I found out yestday my SR use to have it. Dont no how this benefits u but im after 50posts. Lol.

Saying that wont help you put something in the classifieds :haha:

check out these kits.. same idea as the aquamist ones, even has a better pump than the aquamist and a pressurizer to 'store' water pressure over time..
and that at a fraction of the cost of an aquamist or any other 'real' brand system
still waiting to fit my own..
