Back in my day you used to be able to find something similiar to this at J C Whitney
I wonder if I may have found a use for the dial a jet
"Water Injection"

I don't know if the dial a jet would meter the right amount of water for that. I would guess you would only want water to start dripping if you were at 1/3 or more throttle.

Those are neat if you need em. Basically you need them if your compression ratio is TOO high, or you are heating the intake too much (turbo without intercooler), or you are boosting the intake.

When you compress air, it heats up. If you add a blower, you are compressing more air and the result is hotter pre combustion temps. An intercooler helps, but the main purpose of an intercooler is to increase density and that could still lead to even hotter temps.

Water just cools the temp down so that the fuel doesn't autoignite (ping, knock).

This is the same effect as higher octane fuel, it prevents autoignition by withstanding higher temps. High Octane does not mean it burns slower, however burning slower is a side effect of some of the chemistry behind many high octane fuels.

The higher the compression ratio, the more air in and out. It is just about as good as having more displacement. Increased fuel efficiency is always btained with higher compression (this is a thermodynamic fact), unless other things have been done at the same time to reduce efficiency.

You can tell me about these performance ideas safely. But alltoys is still recovering from his "lucky to still be alive" accident. Do egg him on. I am sure he knew about this stuff a long time ago.

I think the limitation on compression on your 360 might be increased engine temp. The engine can get a whole lot hotter than a water pumper IF the oil doesn't break down. A simple change of amsoil synthetic will fix that.

Raise your ratio to 10:1 Get amsoil, and use hi test gas. Forget the blower, the turbo, the nitrous, and the water injection. I think you can get enough power with a few minor tricks (porting and cam timing too).

 

Moses,
Nyroc pretty much said it all. I had to use water injection when I had my turbo hooked up as the intercooler was not big enough to cool down the gases. I also ran an 8.25/1 compression piston with a maximum of 40# boost to push the motor over 125 HP. When everything worked the water injection was invaluable but not practical for every day use unless you intend to up your compression to 12/1 or higher.

I use my dial jets to impose a racing gas for 1/4 mile or basic hookup for general messing around. It is very versatile for the way I run my quad although I will not have one till next week when I take delivery of a used P700. If you are serious about performance then you may think about upgrading to a V Force or P700 a 360 is a little under powered for most modds.
