Just thought I would get this up for you guys too. Some info on Spearco (Turbonetics) latest product. For those who aren't familiar with water/injection its a pretty successful method of decreasing potential knock and cooling cylinder temps which allows you to run more timing and pick up a lot more power or can just add another layer of safety to your boosted car. MSRP is below but actual street price is closer to $380

Does it work without requiring a MAP?

MIAPLAYA

Its designed to run off of a MAP sensor. If you have a electrnic boost gauge it uses a map sensor and you can use the output from that. Otherwise a GM map sensor is about $20

Simplyscion

do they offer upgrades at all...such as check valves, upgraded solenoids etc...What happens when a nozzle gets clogged...is there a cutoff at all?

MIAPLAYA

The clog would cause a pressure and pump duty cycle spike and the system would shut down. The system does not use a solenoid as the pump is pulse width modulated as opposed to constant driven like others. The pump is also internally check valved.

Can a n00b install one of these with success?

MIAPLAYA

Install...yes.... Tuning I would take to someone who has done it before. Quite simply you could create a second high boost or race map with this system and run higher boost with the same timing you have using this to keep your engine safe. Or if you just want more power in your current map you can put this on, go to a tuner and bump your timing, and use the w/i to keep you safe. Theres a hundred different ways to use this. For best results go to your local tuner and get some dyno time in. Install you can do yourself though.

Simplyscion

cool...thanks for the info. I have been looking into a few setups. I have the unichip for my supercharger and I am able to control the water spray through that, how well does the standalone box do against the unichip. Is there a way to bypass the standalone box or would the capabilities of it be more extensive than the unichip?

MIAPLAYA

Yes you can run the system off the Unichip. The only advantage I see to using the standalone controller is that you can adjust the spray on the fly without having to hook up to the EMS. Most Z guys have used the standalone controller over their EMS controller for jsut that reason.

Boost cooler is another good option

Simplyscion

thats what this is

Rasta

The brand boost cooler it uses alky and water

Simplyscion

you can use water/alky on any setup...theres a few companies such as snow performance, aquamist, boost cooler etc. Its such a great idea if you have a completely failsafe setup...I like the fact that this isnt a constant driven pump so the pump wont kick out on you keeping you from detonating. I like the fact that with my unichip I can run 2 maps...one with water and one without. I would probly only use the water/alky on the weekends and run on my regular map during the week.

MIAPLAYA

You can actually run as much as 75% alky on this too :D

does anybody have a s/c and this product installed?

Tron

sorry this is kind of new to me. ok in a s/c application where would you install the sprayer. before s/c, after? before maf or after? joe dezod pls give alittle more info on install some of us have just recently switched to forced induction and are still learning.

I do not want to say the wrong things ( because im not 110% sure about the answers) so I am going to just sit back and watch the post. I am very interested in this kit and it might be my choice after I speak with Joe next week.

MIAPLAYA

You would spray the W/I after the intercooler. Close to the throttle body in fact....
