Water injection and wvo and wmo

[moparguy]

Over the years others have mused about utilizing a water injection system when running wvo or wmo to keep the combustion chamber and injector tips clean as opposed to using it as a power adder or for egt temp control.



Just wondering if anyone has actually tried this. With fuel headed higher, I'm thinking of driving the 95 more while using one of the alt. fuels. However with anything short of making B100 I worry about the conquiences. If water injection will keep things steam cleaned, it may be a worthwhile addition for that reason alone.



Any thoughts?

hello moparguy



yes I talked to snow performance about the this topic steam cleaning the top end of the engine is what you will be doing, if i had the money both my trucks would have water injection on them.



sure when we see 4. 00 4. 50 fuel this topic will be hot right now 3. 29 seems like its not worth the time to try a different fuel



America is the birth place of apathy also the birth place of inventiveness.



give it a try and report what you find,



good luck sir

I can tell you one thing about Snows Stage 3 water meth system. At 110000 miles, 40000 with the water meth (50-50 mix) my big foot, 10 plate, 15. 5 timing, 38 pounds of boost, 3k springs my head gasket let go. Took the head off and I could not believe how clean the head and pistons and ports were. There was not a bit of carbon build up anywhere. The tops of the pistons were black but with solvent it wiped right off to aluminum. The cylinders still had real good hone marks and no cylinder ridge at the top. So the only down side I can see with the water meth or even stright water is the head gasket. Just use your head and the gasket will last. Oh I now have O-rings and Studs and so far so good. With the Stage 3 system you will see better mileage and power with stright water, but with 50-50 mix it's a lot better on both. Will the system pay for it's self NO. Unless you look at saving a piston from melt down which is what I was going for.
