Water Injection?

[84BuickGNYorkPA]

Hi Guys, I had a 79 sport coupe Regal, and had it turned up to 17-19 boost with water injection, water/drygas in the winter when temps got below freezing. The car ran great with the rochester four barrel, the water injection would come on with the idiot red boost light (5 or 6 lbs). Has anyone tried this for the 84/85 cars?

Thanks for the link...Wow what a price... all but $500, but this does have some type of progressive adjustment .... Like I said the water injection really let me turn that old sport coupe up, I remember racing a camero with a 350 in it and winning, on the street. With the shift kit, it would chirp the tires when it went into 2nd gear. Hot Rod magazine did a article on the 79 and I did exactly to mine what they did to there project car.

You can make your own kit.
I am not going into which is better etc. LOTS of info on it on this site. Try doing a search. Here is the link for the DIY alky kit

There are two main alcohol injection vendors for TR's out there.
www.alkycontrol.com
www.smcenterprises.com

Both are reputable, knowledgable have Great CS, honest and upright kinda guys. They have all been there, done that, translating into "hands on experince".

Good luck!

just wondering,were would you tap the nozle since the turbo dumps directly into the manifold????

You should install the nozzles after the turbo. Usually installed as pictured this thread by Racemybuick.

The water nozzle would be in the air pipe at the 80 deg. bend before the turbo compressor. In my opinion, this would give it the straightest shot.

Easiest and safest install of nozzle is in the turbo to intake adaptor just AFTER the turbo (dont even have to take off the intake). You dont want beads of alky/water hitting the impellar blades . Besides, your goal is to cool down the aircharge after the turbo in the intake and ultimately the cylinders.
