Edelbrock water injection?

anyone know how well the edelbrock water injection kit works? i am thinking of doing water injection and ebay has a few of these systems listed on it.

crude, crude, crude. first off, the ONLY way it will work is squirting the nozzle into the compressor. this will cause excessive wear of the blades on the compressor wheel. this will be fine, until you destroy the wheel, then you get to buy a new turbo. you wanted that fp green anyway, right? you can build a better mousetrap, or, in this case, water injection, for about 150 bucks. use the aquamist nozzles, the finer the mist, the more heat it will remove. shurflo pump, 100 psi, shoot that bitch in there, whether you got boost or not. about 70 bucks. hobbs pressure switch, napa, about 30 bucks. tap into your windshield washer resevoir, free. want proof?

Ken, I know you use two nozzles. What are your intercooler pipes made of? Is rust a concern?

thanks a ton ken. I that is exactly what i needed to know. I saw the injection system of vfaq.com and it seems easy enough to build. i guess the edelbrock really sucks, and i will be sure to stear clear of it!

dp yah, rust is a concern, the first set i had(rre pipes) was well used, and they did have light surface rust. the second set i did the best i could with this rustproof coating, and then i sprayed it best i could with rustoleum. i have taken off the pipe that connects to the t/bdy, and the one that connects to it, and i havent seen any rust yet. dont put the kabosh on my system.

I think your water injection rocks. No kabosh intended. Maybe you could get some muffler shop or some good fab guy to make a set outta stainless.

IF the need arises.
