[Mk2] [Turbo] water injection

Post by wickermonkey »

Who has it and is it worth doing?

Ive just bought whippetts (paul lippett) mr2, which i am very impressed with, and had a few mods in mind to increase reliability plus more power in the future. The first two things i had in mind was intercooler spray and water/methnol injection. Not sure which injection kit to go for, aem, devils water, erl aquamist. Anybody got any preferences

hi. ive got the AEM one. Seems good. Cools down the intake quite a bit, and helps to prevent knock. Worth doing if ur having knock issues and wanna run higher boost. As regards the AEM kit, i cant fault it. Not sure about others.

Might go for the AEM kit, does anybody have any recomendations other than the bay?

is there much point in fitting this kind of kit to a mainly bolt on modded '2 with the standard turbo still? Noticed on mine even after fitting the new intercooler that still feels quiet cool after a spirited drive but the pipe leading to the throttle body is almost to hot to the touch.

just about to fit one of these onto mine aswell as going to fit an intercooler spray, more to take care of the engine rather than more power. If you google it then you will get a better understanding of what it does as its not only cools the intake temps, I'm not the best at explaining so i wont try, where as the intercooler spray will only cool the air temps but is more usefull when you are in traffic or after/before a 1/4 mile and your not moving much.

You will be surprised at how quick aluminium will cool down with airflow over it but will also heat up quickly if there isnt any
