to people with water inj?????

[BoostedEX]

Here's a thought, could you spray the intercooler with the water injection?????

[grand600]

no that wouldn't do a thing other that make the intercooler wet. like driving in the rain. Thanks for the thought though!!!

First do you run stock timing? 2nd do you have problems with the ing system? 3rd what is you timing set at? 4th do you run straight water, or a water/alc mixture? 5th what do your plugs look like? thanks all. I have seen so much wierd crap from my car. I am just looking for what everybody eles's cars are doing and how they are behaving. I have some strange issues and I want to get some feedback. When I run a 50%water and 50% alc mixture I get black plugs! At some times I get a misfire, like its dropping a cly or two. Let me remind you I am running tha BKR7E-11 plugs(yes the wide gap) cause this was sent to me. I wanted the BKR7E but did not get it so I guess im screwed. anywho let me know what you guys see and also on a side note do you think I should still use water inj with the I/C. thanks

I run stock timing and at least a 50/50 mix of alcohol to water (denatured, methonal and ethonal) I too did have problems with spark after doing some reading found that it does put a larger demand on the ignition system I went to the bosh F6dp vice the ngk bkr7e-11 and a .030 gap and do not have any more problems. As far as running W/I with a intercooler the domestics do it all the time just make sure the water is inj after the intercooler or it will have neg afects.

I have my timing at factory. My BTC is one click away from the left. Does mixing alcohol help? I'm just running water. Also, how often should the water be injected. I have it set where it would spurt water about 2 seconds in each gear. Should I have it where there's a constant stream of water?

My water inj is set to come on at 4psi and it stasys on till I let out of the gas. I am haveing some strang misfiring @8psi with the JRSC, water inj and 8psi.

the latest jpn lancer evo has water sprayers on the intercooler that can be controled / actuated from the cockpit . i dont know about the sti wrx , but the special edition (sti 286 ?) from a few years ago used them . water sprayers will decrease temperatures through evaporation when a fine mist is applied to a metal surface like an intercooler . water will absorb heat from any solid object it contacts warmer then itself , even you and me .

Doesn't the Subaru WRX STi come with water sprayers on the intercooler?
