Aquamist Water Injection Systems

[LRamey]

Cruzin the www I ran onto this product and wonder if anyone's tried it or seen it? I think it might work on our Cummins and help in the high EGT dept. It looks to have a small water pump that puts out 100 psi and is activated from an adjustable level of boost. (0-30 psi boost if I read it right) Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking one could tap right into the intake ram being it has differant size nozzles and the pump puts out more pressure then boost? Sounds like a high pressure low volume system.

Its not cheap but less then half the cost of a hx-40 and if those of you out there who know anything about water injection voice a favorable opinion I might be tempted to get one of these instead.

I've ask these questions of the company and am awaiting their reply.

Check it out. http://www.aquamist.co.uk/

"System 1s" is the one I'm looking at.

A friend of mine has one of these for his Land Rover diesel but has not installed it yet. We have boost and pyro gauges on it and will be able to tell what kind of EGT reduction we get.



A Saab dealership in Kansas City, George's imports, is very knowledgeable on these systems and use them with great sucess on petrol motors. The water keeps the air/fuel from detonating so higher boost pressures can be run for more power.



Tractor pullers use water injection to cool the temps down so I'm sure it works to some degree. Aquamist is good quality too. Autowurks has a water injection system they use, you might talk to them too. I'll try and report on what aquamist does for the rover turbo diesel.

I have experience with this kit: http://www.geocities.com/rad87gn/tech/SteveCkit.html



This setup works really well in turbo gassers.

The Aquamist setup is really high quality, but it's also really high dollar. Steve's kit is very tunable and easy to setup, and the quality of all the parts is really good considering the asking price.



My $. 04 worth... .

Wow! Looks like that would work pretty easy in our applications. Good find Matt.

Making your own water injection kit is really easy. I have all of $200 into the kit I run in a turbocharged gas car. I use a Shur-Flow 100 psi pump and nozzle and accessories from Georges Imports. There is mailing list at: -- email address removed -- that specializes in the topic (imports mostly, but they play nice). Here are some more links for WI systems:

Thanks all for the info!

d90boy,

Please post the results, I'd really like to know how it affects the exhaust temps.

Thanks
