Water injection kit install
Water injection kit install
Anyone have a good picture of how the Masterlube accumulator is attached to the back of the engine? I need to attach a tank for the water injection kit I am adding and putting it into the same spot as the accumulator makes the most sense.
Thanks
(changed the title so I can post my install pics here)

Bolus, I can probably take a few pics tomorrow- after I get some light and email them to you.
Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
If your using a digital camera it's overall better to use the flash in a darker garage for engine picts or under the hood than on a car out in bright sunlight. The fill from the flash produces better picts,. If in daylight make sure the flash is set to on or there will be black holes where there should be detail showing. Ever se picts of folks out in bright sunshine and there eyes are in shadows. The flash is your friend. Just a thought as I learned the hard way some years ago.

Here is what I'm thinking for the tank

Bolus can you please explain to me what water injection is and how it works? Does water actually get injected into the cylinder or is it used to cool the engine?
Cheersâ?¢

Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
I made a little bracket for the tank. Boy I wish I new how to weld and do metal working.
Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
Looks very tidy. Any plans/guess as to how high you'll run the boost?
Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
Im just going to use it for cooling the charge until I can tune the ecu
Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
just as a thought, how cool will the water be in the tank located in the engine bay versus somewhere else...not suggesting that you change anything just curious.....OH YEAH AND BORED SINCE I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR
Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
According to Darth, the only thing I need to worry about is melting the hoses to the tank. Otherwise it wont matter (unless I use 100% methanol or something)
Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
I dont think he got his pump yet. And I have his tank since I ordered ours together.
Re: Accumulator bracket pictures?
I've got the pump. And all the fittings... well.. most of them. But now I'm trying to find a sheet of 5x14" sheet of aluminum plating I can mount all of the gadgets and dohickys to, so it doesn't look like a 5 year old installed it. Another week and I'll be done.. .and then the 3" exhaust... and then pinky, we take over the world!
