Water Injection

Has anyone installed or used one of these kits before ???

I think they'd work well on the GTA to cool the charged inlet air.

Anyone got any idea's on this ???

WI

Ive used WI on 5 turbos and Sierra, but you dont really need it until your running lots of boost, and have gone beyond the limits of the best intercooler you can have. Youd be looking around 25psi plus, and you wouldnt venture this far until youve got a bigger turbo, free flowing exhaust, cams, headwork etc. Its the final resort.

Ignore my ramblings above, I was forgetting how the engine bay temps of the GTA contributed to the high charge temps, even at low boost..its different on front engined cars...

Ill look into WI systems for the GTA...even running a bar of boost on a standard setup, the WI would help, seeing as the larger intercooler/chargecooler is expensive/major work...and WI is a far simpler arrangement to implement.
