Water Injection

[Robert Yorke]

List:

Please accept my apologies for not specifically directing my reponse to a
request for help regarding availability of a water injection setup for a
turbo'd car; as long as I did it that way, I may as well follow up on my
own post to provide what may be quite worthwhile to all:

	Spearco Performance Products, Inc.
	14664 Titus Street
	Panorama City, CA 91402

	(818)901-7851

Their "Turbo Water Injection System" is  their catalog part # 980, for
$160.00 (As of 9-6-96)
and includes:

	-4 gallon aluminum reservoir with a choice of 3 mounting positions
	-Injection of water (Or water/ethanol/methanol) upstream or downstream of
the turbo
	-pump control by adjustable pressure switch
	-includes 3 different sized, specially designed injector nozzles (A
function of engine 	displacement)

I hope this is of interest to all!
