FW: Flow rates for nozzles

[Stuart Bunning]

*** come on guyes I'm interested in this too me and barry can't be the only
people  ******
*** out there wanting to use fuel injectors for water injection
************************

has anyone ever tried it???
Will normal fuel injectors rust if water is pumped through them ...



I was about to install a water/alcohol injection system in a turbo charged
application but it occurred to me that those old fuel injectors I have
sitting around might be up to the task of spraying water/alcohol.  I like
the idea of a progressive controller but don't want to shell out the huge
dollars for such kits (as nice as they are) and would welcome the project of
brewing my own solution.

So, I need to know how to calculate flow for currently available
conventional nozzles OR know what guidelines I should use to determine the
amount of water/alcohol to inject so that I can determine what size injector
to use and also to be able to program a simple controller.

I suppose another question would be, is there any reason why a fuel injector
would not work well injecting only water/alcohol?


Thanks.

Barry
