Water Injection

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Its a car with a lot of boost that has an OE computer and Audible knock indicators that retartd the timing, without the water at WOT it has a tendency to sound like a slave labor cam of elves with ball peen hammers. Good gas helps of course but dosent cure it, he dosent need the mix, straight water works fine and makes a big difference in his ET's because of the OE electronics...he can disconnect the AKI's and that helps 1 problem, the computer but it still knocks obviously.

Its really picky about the air and temp...He asked and I thought I would ask here since.....a)it was a good question and I know his situation b)It was a rule question I couldnt answer and wasnt going to call NHRA tech for since its not my car and its not THAT important....

But it got me curious too.....

I told him just put some MCormic blue food dye in the water and if anyone asks its just windshield wiper fluid and youre too lazy to drain it Besides youre FWD and the weight up front cant hurt....lol

Now Im curious though....

I don't see anything about methanol or nitro injection either.... Humm.
It must be in the extra/other book Tech has with them.
I didn't see a steam engine class either!
Tech to Drooze:
Is that water in that jug or some Tenn.- Kentucky 'shine?
Sorry, it's the new meds!
