bubblegoose Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 having to buy meth/distilled water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 yet buying a new head gasket, skimming a head, and spending all that time on labour is cheaper? ps tap water would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 skim is free, labour would be all of a few hours would tap water not eventually cause damaging deposits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 deposits worse than the deposits which already form from combustion? besides, water/meth injection has a habit of cleaning the combustion chamber pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 thought maybe it might leave scale deposits on stz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Just filtered water lol. But yeah crap like lime in water may leave yuck stuff but I wouldn't be too worried about using clean drinking water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Talking to dad he says that it really needs to be metered in properly and you only really see any gains from a turbo car. Mercedes did it by turning it into steam so it actually reaches the cylinders properly. Dad did it by squirting it at the center of the turbo. I still think that it would work at increasing the compression ratio in a NA car and keep things clean and cool. Dad also said that he would go through 3l in about 5 mins on the dyno. So then you may have to carry round 20L of water every where you go. I just need to do more kays to test things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakesae101 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 you dont need to carry that much water a guy i know runs it on his targa car and he said they average a litre a stage so a 4L tank in normal conditions would be ok for a day or more of normal driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 ^^ yeah I don't think it would use that much. Bear in mind on the dyno that's pretty much WOT at all times, hardly comparible to real world scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 This was in our diesel hiace.... I pulled it out as I want in in my Viva for old school periodness.. Anyway- it wouldn't work in a diesel would it as a diesel engine has no throttle plate/butterfly thingee- its speed is dictated by how much diesel is injected? Im I right? And my turbo bolted on to the standard (9.5) compression 12A running at low boost- will this help economy? I understand that having 40 more ponies may make me use them more often and use more fuel but if I am just cruising and dont have to rev so hard as the turbo has increased torque (from 110lbft to 150) surely this will help. Is an engine at its most efficient when its at or around peak torque? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Ahaha I was using one identical to that. I think it was Truenotches which I gave back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Theres one fitted into my galant, it's only really a single use item as once you figure out where the engine like sitting rpm wise then your set, interestingly you can get up to 120+ before the vac starts dropping which would indicate that the load is minimal and you are still fairly economic. As an example I used a tank of gas going no more than 110. Then I used another tank going up to 120 as is normal procedure on the north western motorway and both tanks got around 490 km's to 45 litres of 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
