Turbo Chubby parts

[Bob Wooten]

I see.  I have not worked with WI @ all, so this is a WAG, but this sounds a
lot like the wet manifold/dry manifold & which is better debate.  My
understanding (& I am sure that you have heard a lot from the GN & TType
boys) that the hard part about it is getting a RELIABLE, high pressure pump
that will not corrode with a water/alcohol mixture.  IIRC, this is the same
issue (corrosion) that the Alcohol boys have with their fuel just tearing up
everything it comes in contact with.

How about a high pressure external fuel pump pushing through fogger
injectors in the side of my Super ram?  I bet that if I use SS nozzles &
drill them out I would be able to get a nice spray pattern.

Again I am guessing but I bet that in forced induction apps, the value of
the pressure w/in the system pushing against the pump affects performance.
that being said, a truly slick setup would be one that was pressure
compensated for consistency.

On a related but different subject, what is the difference between
atomization & vaporization.  I think that atomization is when you shove a
fluid through a hole & it atomizes, meaning it goes into small particles
that are more likely to get suspended in air better than larger particles.
& vaporization is when something hits something hot & changes states (water
to steam for example, exceeds the latent heat of vaporization & changes
states.  Challenging my physics from way back)

Lots of pressure, small *jets*, so as to make a truely fine mist.
In the case of dry manifolding, with WI it will become wet with WI.  So you
have to rethink things.   Water has alot of inertia, compared to air, and
either your looking for vaporization, or atomization, both serve two
different goals.  You have to figure out what goals you want and what
compromises your willing to make, with each application.

  Air hoses, and WI are to be used ONLY with adult supervision, when the lil
guys are around (just trust me on that one).
