AFM Mr. Freeze water injecton kit work?

[destrux]

I did a search on here, came up with nothing. Anyone see this kit in action or use it themselves? It claims it can do as well as any other water injection kit, but it uses some kind of contraption to inject the water instead of a pump, (and the reason I'm looking at it is it costs like half as much as a normal kit). I dont want to blow my money on it if it doesnt work though. I found it on ebay if anyone wants to take a look, 190007810784 is the auction number.

Anyone??

Well i looked it over and it's hard to tell what kind of pump they are using and really for that price you can go with a base model cooling mist setup. I'm sure it works there aren't really too many ways to make these kits since they all use a pump, check valve, nozzle, and some tubing. Its your money but if i was in your postion i'd build my own kit which costs less than any kit out there or pick up one from a supporting vendor such as cooling mist.

Wish I knew something about it, but I don't even understand how it works. I too would recomend DIY if you're on a budget.

here's a thread, but again, it's pretty inconclusive. Although, it seems most on here are skeptics...

Give it a shot and tell us how it goes.

As far as i know, the AFM kit is not water injection, it is more like water induction, as it allows water to be sucked into the turbo or supercharger inlet, under boost of course.

I was looking at it as well, but i bet it could erode the compressor wheel after awhile.

I'd be worried about water hitting blades rotating at 140,000 RPM as well. I would go with the earlier suggestion of either piecing together your own kit or going with the cheapest cooling mist setup.

Ooooo, after reading that, the design is ugly! Using boost pressure to force water in before the turbo or intercooler, letting the turbo do the atomising, etc... That's horrible.

It also seems like running more vacuum lines and using boost pressure to achieve flow VS a simple pump just complicates things. Electricity is simpler and easier to manage than boost.

Well if everyone wants a parts list for a diy water injection kit i can make one real quick. They end up costing around 125 or less if you shop it out. A nice shurflo pump is the most expensive parts running around 55 or so. You can get some nice tubing that is alky safe from McMaster carr for around 15 cents a foot. Like i said i can put together a parts/price list for everything and where to get it if you want.

Please do. That would also make for a great tech article.
