anyone using water/meth injection on the LET

[turbo-boy]

hello there imk thinking of getting water /meth injection for my nova and im wanting to no what people thought of it that hav used it.

water injection is typically used when proper intercooling isnt available, ie bit of a bodge. It does a nice job of steam cleaning your pistons & combustion chambers however. A well setup & intercooled/charge cooled engine shouldnt need it, esp in our lousy climate.

Using water injection on a Vectra Turbo brought the ACT's down about 70deg c , the ambient air temperature was 27degrees or so a few lower than what the new ACT was. That increased power from 330bhp to approx 365bhp, and it was physically noticeable. Its worth every penny IMO.

I want to do it on mine, I will put the jet in on the hot side of the IC.

im using a courtney charge cooler an plan on running phase 2 and its a safety factor also and what i hav read up about them they seen to be a good job

[Paul]

Oh and I will use water only,

I have an ERL kit sat in the garage, I actually intended to fit it to mine,m mainly as its not on dedicated management to cope with boost. But with a smallish CC I guess it would compliment it & it does as you say lower the inlet temps nicely, which is all good.

I think this is to avoid an intercooler/stealthy fr end isnt it?

[Paul]

kit for sale craig?

[craig green]

Could be tempted, its missing a map sensor which is about 26quid from ERL iirc.

[turbo-boy]

[Paul]
