Innovate Stg1 Supercharger with W/M injection

Also, it looks like you're injecting before the SC. I thought that was bad juju on a PD type supercharger?

5 gal/h nozzle takes a while (~30 mins) to deplete my tank when constantly on. During daily driving it only comes on when you really need to accelerate so the 3 gal tank I am using lasts an eternity.

On the track, I find the meth injection is on about 50-60% of the time. For a 20 min session I would probably only deplete the tank 1/3 of its volume.

As for the position of the nozzle, you have it backwards. You want to spray onto the screws or rotors to make them more efficient (cooling them down and sealing them better).

Gotcha. For some reason I was thinking that spraying before compressing could damage things. Incompressibility of fluids and all.

Wont hurt anything if it is a fine mist.

After all, you are spraying incompressible fluid into a combustion chamber that see's tremendous compression to the tune of 12.5:1.

As long as you don't spray too much or have large droplets, you'll be fine.

Fluids vs gasses the who idea behind the wmi is getting the h2o to vaporize and using the heat delta to absorb the compressive heat.

This is why I love you man.

Important to note that you won't likely be able to run WMI with the intercooled version if you plan on injecting pre-compression. The water will likely cause condensation at the heat exchanger (intercooler). Alternatively you could run a 4 port injector at each intake manifold runner, but you loose some of the benefits of pre-compression (cooling the charge/sealing the compression in the screws).

Def. a glass half empty kind o guy with his post history... But the world needs all types.

Orbital? Nah, more like the glass is half way. Not half empty or half full, just tells it like it is. Sometimes he is an ass, but it's because he's not letting other people blow smoke up his ass. He might need to smoke a joint to calm down & let some things slide. And he seems to forget that no matter how hard he tries he'll never fix stupidity. But I'm not much different, I just read my posts before I hit submit and think if this is a hill I'm willing to die on or not. If not, I press back and let the stupid continue without me.

Believe me, innovate won't go down because of a 200 000$ inventory they have on those supercharger.

I think you missed the point that was already explained in another post.

I did actually, saw it after lol. Was too lazy to go and edit my post. And after reading my self again, i might have been also a little bit rude!

Sorry for that my friend!!

Small update:

Starting to smell burning clutch after 3rd and 4th gear pulls (usually up-hill ones). Possible sign that the clutch is stressed?
@robispec was on the stock clutch and tracking the shit out of it for how many miles and how much more ft-lbs before it finally gave out? His car is lighter too though so less inertia for the clutch to accelerate.

yeah going through the stock clutch...

Is the new one holding up still?

[robispec]

Yes no problems
