lets see your custom water injection systems

Snow kits are great for a street truck they do just what they say. On a Pulling truck your going to need a bit more. What kind of truck do you have?
 
1999 CCLB dullay 4x4 13mm columbus pump water to air intercooler 2.8 charger puller cam custom injectors lots of head work cut pistions nv4500 billet shaft iorn giant clutch 5.13 gears to much to list it has been swaped from a 24v to a 12v its not a dialy driver the only time its street driven is if i drive it to the local bar
I am wanting to have full control over my egts down the track I want to run straight water I make my peek power at 3600-3800 rpm I want to build my own water system to meet my needs and just wanted to get ideas from some of you other guys I know snow makes a good kit for a daily driver but it not good enough for a truck that needs every thing fine tuned
thanks
 
I bought a 12v/hydraulic power pack from a surplus dealer up here, (from a snow plow kit), think its rated around 2gal/min at 2000 psi, which is lots. Just need to rig up a regulator/nozzle setup and calibrate a flow I want.
Those pumps will need a bit of lubricant in the oil to keep the pump from rusting.

Got a snow stage three in the box, but it's not going to do for the power level I ended up at. Might still use the controller to automate the big pump and maybe stage it. Small nozzle to begin with and then open another one or two when it gets into the heat.

Something like that should do the trick.
 
BlackLighting,

Most 2.8 classes don't allow water. The truck sounds like a pulling machine. Where you from?

Joe,

No need for the regulator, size the nozzles for how much water you need and let the pressure run to whatever the pump will support. Those pumps are rated with hydraulic fluid not water, the water is thinner so the pressure will not be as high. You are right about needing some lube make sure to get it good if letting it sit even for just a day.

Right on......I like simple....just turn the pump on and let it pressure up, rather than have it running at a regulated pressure and use solenoids.


What do you use for nozzles? Source? I guess I could flow the ones that came with the snow. See what I get. How much water are you running/second?
 
I am from ohio I know your not allowed to run water but its not going to stop me from runing it to save my $8000 in engine parts and meachine work I know your not allowed to run it but I know alot of people that do IMO if everyone started useing it they would have to change the rules Its about saftey of the engine not for power
 
Trouble is it will make you some power as well, from cooling the intake charge....how much??? Then there's the adding meth bit....more power.....

I'm for running water.....just the rules bit would be tough trying to keep it even.
 
I have set up a few trucks and start most at about 1 Quart per 15 seconds. You have to decide how many nozzles you want to run. For instance on Garrett's Black truck we used 6 nozzles. One for each cylinder, others just one in the intake pipe. I am a fan of about 4 in the intake pipe then you can spread the water out keeping the nozzle size down some.

The key is controlling when the water comes on. To early and you can bog the motor down or snuff the charger. To late and you have to bring the temp down from a higher point.
 
I went to an Water to Air intercooler that I pump ice water through because of egts my thought is the water injection will alow me to cool my egts and run more rpm mid track for wheel speed my timmig is only set at 24* and I think if I change It to 26* or 27* i can ad more fuel but I cant add more fuel until I drop some egts
 
I would rather see you do it legal for your rules then breaking them. If you add enough more fuel you can get the egt's back down some. Try turning the fuel way up.

So what your saying is more nozzels smaller nozzels is going to be a better blend of water and air than a big blast of water by going smaller you can start spraying earler to better manage the egts
 
I dyno tune my truck on a chassie dyno any more fuel the hp gos down mabe if I try a diffrent set of Injectors agin
 
True you will loose some power with being over fueled but there is always a give and take. Yes I like more small nozzles over one big one.
 
Coolin with fuelin......all the extra fuel taking heat..... tough science with these common rails right now....
