cooling JRSC

[JRCivic]

Mike,

Was your friend using DISTILLED water ???
I didn't think that there was any particulate material to make a rust/sediment deposit in distilled water. Is this incorrect ???

yeah he was using that good old distilled water. He even tried different brands! lol
Once he got the head back, etc... he just kept the unit off and sold it.

In an old issue of sport compact car they put W/inj on a JRSC Si and Lost 4 hp w/ timing @10 degrees. then they said with the added cooling effects they cranked the timing back to factory 16 btc and got 18whp. does water inj work? HELL YEAH. I went from 10degrees timing to 18degrees(approx) injecting 30% water and 70% isoprople(spelling) alcohol and I have no det what so ever. thank you!

Good topic guys. I'm going with nitrous personally b/c 1) its colder than water and will cool the blower more 2) it can only add power. We'll see how it works.

I just purchased the spearco water inj. did not want to fork out the money for aquamist I am curious on where you mounted your tank and injector before the TB or manifold and also what type of alcohol you have been running. I recently dyno'ed no tuning just got a 6psi base line, 218WHP. If posible I will do it again with the inj to see if there is HP diff.

JDR: if you take a peek just behind that yellow adapter between the air filter and the chrome intake pipe, youll see a chromed rectangular tank( thats my Water tank)and on the intake pipe you can see the hose where im injecting ...
im injecting 70% isopropyl alcool( somtimes in its pure state, but on colder temps i run a 50/50 mix)

Thanks kameleon for the info I will give that a shot. I can get pure isopropl at work. klintman My timming was at 16 degrees, I have always had my timming set at 16 there is over a 105,000 on the motor and 37,000 of it is SC. I know alot of you will disagree with this but I think you can safely run at 16BTC if you tune your motor right. My conditions: It never gets hot up here avg temp in summer is 65f, run rich, pvc and crank breather, valves tight about 003 and 0004, very open exhaust, cold plugs, CAI, and a bunch of other little stuff to keep detonation under control. I have never heard any pinging. Have even run at 18btc with octane boost.
