DIY Water Injection System

[Anonymous]

Check this out, it's a home made water injection system.
I can't wait to try it :twisted:

Another way is to plumb it into the carb intake boots

You can also use a windshield washer pump and presuriize to a air bleed jet of the right size depending on engine demand.Install the air bleed into a vaccuum fiting on the carb or in the carb boot on the engeine side.You can use an air\vac check valve that will shut off the water when you are at idle.The water works best at 1/4 throttle to wot.You can get check valves at an auto parts store.I used windshield washer fluid straight.IIt worked well on my street racer(12.5-1 comp).An added benifet is it keeps the combustion chamber cleaner by removing the carbon build-up.If some one wants to build one let me know and I'll try to find my notes.It really does work especially if you have too-high compression to run on pump gas.
The principal of the water is water expands approx. 3000 times when it turns to steam in the combustion process which means more power without more fuel\oxygen being added.

If you do find the instructions for your setup could send me a copy or put it under Tricks and Tips perhaps

This is a really interesting topic guys, would low compression vehicles benefit from this kind of set up? I get the impression that it would but it is worthwhile? Also, what are the long term impacts of running a water injection system? ie. Would an engine last as long as it would normally?

Thanks, Steve

On any water injection system, water WILL get into the oil, PERIOD. and running the bike at temp won't help, either, because the water is injected all the time, hot or cold. so better prepare for alot of oil changes if you go this route.
