Water Injection Setup for Golf R. No more BS please

Ok i clearly spoke to the wrong person at QLD transport then. I will call back and get to the bottom of it. Its kind of stupid isnt it, there is nothing dangerous about this setup in the slightest.

I think you have made your point regarding this now. Thank you

Just for the record, CAMS allow water injection; Quote: Water injection and spraying: The spraying of water onto the intercooler is free, as is water injection into the intercooler and/or the intake manifold. Any such arrangements shall be specified on the Recognition Form along with the water reservoir position and capacity.

However i guess Tarmac's car is for the road so anything about CAMS is irrelevant.

Ok we'll my mate is an engineer and blue plates cars. I have asked him and plain water injection is perfectly legal for road use it is only illegal if you use methanol mixture!

As I was saying on the weekend to you I would like to get a kit for my car so I asked him as he has had it running in his Evo 9. He can have a look at it and give you a report.

I guess if you are a complete idiot and get enough nozzles or nozzles that spray enough water for a V16 truck then yeah sure you could. If your nozzle is slightly too big then you will start to kill spark and notice it straight away. Which means you need a smaller nozzle or need to tune around it, either with the controller (depending what 1 you have) or with the pump which is adjustable from 150 to 250psi.

I think the main thing is you do your research and calculations first. Ask the professionals. (WMI suppliers) then you shouldnt have any problems.

After all you are atomizing the water. So its a super dooper (technical term) fine mist. If it were spraying water in like a small hose then....well that would NOT be good.

Does that help at all?

I like the fact you have a good composite tank, nothing worse than an old ****ty metal or aluminium one. Looks almost like the fuel cells they use in track cars or drag cars.
