Went to Duffee's today, and Jeremy once again gets all the credit ont his backyard rig...LOL
What we used:
-Alum resivior
-Hobbs switch
-NOS solonoid
-NOS nozzle
-mini fuel filter
Here's some pics:

Im sure it will take some tuning and what not, we are gonna log the inlet temps before/after the injection, and mess with timing and what not....
Should be able to run more timing/boost, ect...Reall only used for the track...
Let me know what you guys think??

in effect it should be similar to the cry02 systems you see advertised and supposedly they work pretty well.

Only real difference is im not pumping it into the sytem, i am forcing it with boost...
We have tested it several times, but havent been able to log inlet temp with the stock sensor, as it only reads up to 180 degrees...
i am looking for an aftermarket sensor that i can log with the FJO wideband, but if all else fails, i am prolly gonna go with the Autometer inlet temp gauge, to get an idea of what is going on...

Get it down the track and see what it does :)

is that injected before or after the turbine I can't tell from the pictures but looks like it is before, and isn't that a bad idea.

Looking at the 3rd picture, it looks like its tapped into the inlet tube before the impeller.

if it is, than that supercharger is going to be no good any more. The impeller spins at very high speeds and even if a tiny drop of watr hits it at that speed it could damage it quite easy.

Yeah you might want to call Vortech and ask them about that.
Paxton used to actually sell a kit back in the day the injected it right before the blower...It atomises the water instantly. I have had it turned on for the last like 2-3 weeks and no probs yet. excpt my inlet to the Streim is clean as hell now....LOL
its only used as an anti-detonant, so until i turn the timing up, its really not doing anything. i filled that tank up to the top, and it hasnt went down an inch yet in 3 weeks... That gives you an idea of how much water it actually uses...
I know several people here with similiar setups...
Vortech told me that you would have to submerge that blower in water, and then it would become one hell of a water pump.....LOL

What do you guys think of the injection system in the latest MM&FF...good or bs?

i would have to see more about and more testing instead of it bein the newest and greatest thing, if you want to cool the intake charge after the blower just for the track i would go with like a small shot of juice, maybe 35-50 hp shot at the most, all you need is something to cool the outlet charge down

I wouldn't trade my 117 for pump gas and a system that could fail if a simple vaccum line blew off...funk that.

Yeah i agree Eric...
I like the Snow kit, although i too would have liked to know a bit more info..Obviously their set up is way nicer, as you can create a 'water curve' directly related to boost..
I am still pretty damn impressed with the temp drops i got....
With NO WATER and 14psi i saw inlet temps of 250...
WITH WATER and 14psi, i saw constant temps of 180.....
Thats a 70 degree drop. Still need a bit more tuning ect, but i should be able to run more timing safely...
Oh yeah added more pics and fixed the others... :D
