Injectamatic
 
blown1500:

You jogged my memory, there. I was pretty sure I had an Injectamatic control panel laying around someplace, so I dug it out and snapped a pic.

Email me if you want to see if it's the same one you had.

We haven't made any of those since '89 or so. All the cars were coming with fuel injection, so you just couldn't aim a nozzle sideways into the throttle body.

I have used the aquamist systems on some of my turbo cars. They worked really well. The increased horsepower was very evident because my knock sensor showed 0 degrees knock retard with the aquamist system activated and 11 to 13 degrees knock retard with the aquamist system off. it also helps out a lot when your fuel quality is poor.

I made one also back in the mid 80s. I had a 79 Bronca with a 400 clevleand engine. I simly took a 2.5 gal jug. ran a line with an orfice in it down to the bottom. Placed a 1/2" t in the line coming from the air pump. Ran the 1/4" line from my water tank thru the T and and out the endfartest down stream from the air pump. This created a low presure area at the end of the 1/4" line and pulled water out of the tank. As engine rpms increased, so did air flow, so did low pressure(vacume) on my water line.
I dumped the water into the top of the air cleaner. I used about a gallon of water for every tank full of gas.. In the winter I poured a pint of rubbing alcohl in the water tank.
It was a stock engine... seems like it increased my milage by 1-2 mpgs.

Very low tech, but fun to tinker with to get the right amount of water.

I remember scads of water injection systems in the Banks Turbo days of the 80's
Like this?:

Gayle Banks Turbos

I will be looking to use a water injection system for this setup in my 1987 Scarab 38kv after this winters repower.

I am presently mixing in CP-12 VP Racing Fuel at 1:3 ratio with 93 pump gas to prevent detonation. It works fine but it costs a fortune.

Running about 15 psi of boost and it pushes my heavy 38kv to 75 mph GPS.

I want to repower this winter and looking to move up to a pair of 540s with the same Turbo setup.

I know a guy who has a 38' Welcraft flat deck KAAMA SE that was back when Merc originally produced stock 475hp turbos----he's running superchargers now, but if you are interested he has a ton of turbo charger stuff for sale---exhaust pipes and everything! He's in Michigan City, IN. His name is Bill 219-874-3171
