DPS Water Injection kit-- Thoughts?
Was looking at this kit (link 1, link 2) and noticed its a bit out of my price range, but definately not out of my fabrication range. First off, does it work? Anyone have any experience with this? For a crude design im thinking a cheap inline electric water pump with a hose that just runs into a jug of windshield washer cleaner. That way when it runs out you just swap jugs no biggie. I think the egt based setup would work the best, that way you can keep your egt's up enough to not lose power yet keep it from getting too hot. Thing is tho... how would you have it run off the exhaust temp? And more importantly what size of nozzel should one use and how much water should you actually put in the thing. Off the git-go im gunna try this on an N/A motor and see if it lets you turn up the fuel a bit more.

think carefully about the "cheap inline pump"
in a n/a setup this will not be a problem as you will have vaccum at the nozzle...it a turbo setup the nozzle will be under pressure, and your pump will have to have more push than the amount of boost you are running.
also, keep in mind as far as your nozzle/injector, atomizing under vaccum is much easier than doing so undeer boost.
doing it yourself takes a little engineering, but from experience (on high boost/high comp gas motors) it is very worth it
