Neal1980, Hoofa and Nick with the S/C orange 4.0 are using it

I'm using it on my daily, made a little difference on intake charge temps and 2 mpg increase, but I bought mine mainly to keep the internals of my engine clean ( 3.0 diesel )

I got Devil's Own kit and not that impressed with it

Seen impressive results with Aquamist on a (very) potent 997 running in excess of 1.6 bar - that's spraying methanol 'though

Stick with the aquamist system, other systems are pretty crude as to how the they do the water injection control, the system will only work correctly with a aftermarket ecu, also depends if you want the actually map the car to take account of the water meths inclusion in the fuel air ratio, not if you do you not you will need reliable no water injection detection system

Mine is just for engine protection along with Motec twin knock control

Ahh, just bought a 'DevilsOwn' kit. I'll see how it goes.

Thanks for your responses Guys smile

Are these systems of any benefit to NA engines? I’m running 10.* CR…

Also, does the water help with the combustion and improve the flame front speed?

I use devil owns with my supercharger, it works great at bringing the air temp down. I found the first controller I had was a bit intermittent so I now control the pump with a relay via an ecu output. It's a bit crude as it all or nothing but I can't feel when it cuts in. I diluted it down to 25% methanol 75% water and as others have said its keeps the inlet really clean. The plan eventually is to use a solenoid valve from an ecu pwm output, but for now it's does just what I need.
