How would I adjust how much cc of 50/50 mix at 40psi with a 80 (ccs ??)nozle, per lbs of boost?

yeah, the alcohol helps increase torque and a complete burn while the water helps cool hot spots. In other words helps decrease/elimate detonation. :msnnerd:

while (assuming) he dynoed the car and tuned the ecu/ecm. Did he impliment the water/alcohol system? Doing after well make less power. But, I'll talk to him and get some info on his setup.

what kind of nozzle is he using? What psi are the injectors at? How much cc is he injecting per lbs of boost(I'm trying to find out)? What is the a/f reading when he sprays? Usualy the added alcohol will richin the hell out of it. Does he have a control box (not sure what the correct terminoligy is)? Hope this helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_induction

no, water injection is a failsafe for a poor setup and is usually only installed on systems that are thrown together without much thought put into them. If you have hotspots than you need to get your A/F ratio right, get it tuned so its not running so lean. besides the alcohol will do much more cooling than the water will...
