Request to check idea for progressive water injection / where to buy fast switching solenoid? Sat, 29 October 2005 04:03 Go to previous message
TITLE: Progressive Water Injection idea
PURPOSE: Inject water into intake plenum mirroring some percentage of fuel being injected. Water injection giving some great performance & engine temp engine benefits.

Can anyone check the following steps to confirm my understanding is correct here?

1/ Get and build duty cycle controller. Receive fuel injector incoming pulse and using the handheld controller to adjust the outgoing pulse to the water solenoid:

2/ Tap off existing fuel injector electronics for a reference signal [aquamist reckon you degrade the signal, so need a booster OR just use cold start injector signal? If using cold start injector maybe possible to plumb the water injector nozzle in there too?

3/ Pass signal through duty cycle controller to modify %water to %fuel. Eg: 10% water for fuel. Water injector nozzle size will be key in determining the pulse width to do this. Perhaps use reed relay to switch on the system at a certain MAF/AFM//TPS signal?

Limiting technology here appears to be a fast switching solenoid. Found the following:

- AUD$350 Aquamist high speed valve > $300AUD!

- US$40 Enginerunup 50ms switching solenoid:

So another question then being, does anyone know of a fast switching liquid flowing solenoid in Australia??

Cheers,
