Aquamist 1s instead of intercooler upgrade?

Here's another question?

Rather than going down the route of upgrading intercooler and ECU has anyoner ever thought of adding a Aquamist Water injection system to their Landie?

delete this fred quick BT and :search: for water injection to see the **** the last poster had to put up with :behindsofa:.:brick: :mad2: :flame2: :violent: :deadhorse:

He dnt mean running the car on water, like the only other one i could find.

Water injection systems, Methanol injection systems : Aquamist

They also have a forum.

Waterinjection :: Index

Its a technique the tractor pullers use, mainly to be able to tube to stupid levels without the pistons melting.

I would imagine there would be a LOT of work involved in fitting on to a LR head, espechially a TD5 head.

work wise not really as far as I have been led to believe, The system can be run from the MAP sensor and the injector can be mounted just after the EGR valve assembly on the engine inlet manifold or if you have a blanking tube without EGR valve then as far away as you can from the inlet manifold.

you can splice the system into the ECU to have progressive injection as the revs go up so cooling matches demand from the engine.

The system I am looking at can be run from the windscreem washer tank and has been very successful on Impeeza's and subaru's for some time.

It strikes me that you can run a dual charge cooling/ intercooler pressure boost with one system?

wont that mean you'll get bubles out your exhaust :hippie:
sounds like fun

I guess you just need to make sure the water injection is before the sensor for the induction temperature so that the ECU allows for the right amount of air.

I know the systems you mean, I'm planning to fit one to my Esprit, ideally run if from a separate tank, that way you can mix it with methanol if you wish.

water injection is mainly used on high boost applications when the intake air temp is dramatically increased with boost upgrades. running standard boost i doubt you would get much gain.
a bigger intercooler and mild tuning will much more beneficial.
have you looked into propane injection. A mate works at allisport and has had it on his td5 110 for a few years with good results.
obviously he has a massive intercooler to keep the temp down.

not worth it on most cars and no need in a road going diesel. stick to larger FMIC
