ok yea good idea ...pull timing and use 15psi worth of fuel but only make 13psi worth of power. pulling timing is a band aid for the real problem. think about it. water injection in by no means is a band-aid, it has more benefits than you think including an octane boost (when 50/50 alcohol is used) steam cleaning the internals and valves and cooling the boost BETTER than an intercooler can. im a huge fan of water injection, high boost ALLLL DAY on pump gas is what its all about. top fuel cars use methanol injection...hmm, coincidence? tell a top fuel dragster builder that he's using a band-aid, LOL...i wonder what he would say... a LARGE percentage of the WRC also use water injection...id like to see you tell the subaru wrc team theyre using band-aids...lol on another note, windshield washer fluid isnt your best bet. use 50/50 denatured alcohol and distilled water, it works very good when you set up the kit properly. thanks to guys like twitch, a lot of us are educated enough to set up a good functional kit and reap the many benefits. including 20+psi on pump gas. also, you can control a water injection kit with megasquirt..


Okay, compare apples to oranges. Is the drag car running pump gas? No. They are trying to squeeze every bit of power out of their car and use whatever tricks they can within the regulations. They aren't worried about daily driving anything.

It's a street car not a race car. I'd rather tune to something I can fill up at a gas station and not have to home mix in your garage. I'd rather run a proper air fuel ratio and a good timing curve and just run pump gas, then run too much timing or have to dump too much fuel in to avoid detonation.

If he did go MegaSquirt and controlled timing from there, setting the timing curve for pump gas, how are you creating less power than somebody who hasn't touched there timing and is being hurt by detonation at the same boost level?

It's only high boost until your sprayer bottle runs out.
