Question,Water injection before the throttle body on a whipple blower
could there be any damage to the rotors from doing this and using 2 1.mm aquamist nozzels with there pump,can the pump handle it.

[Charged Performance]

Similar to a roots blower, it should not damage the rotors on a whipple blower. It could even improve their seal even. I do not have direct experience with them, maybe someone else could comment on whether or not atomized water in the charge would cause any problems on the whipple vs a roots.

By injecting before the throttle body you would be preventing the system from being subjected to the high vacuum levels experienced on the other side of the throttle when it closes quickly.

A single Aquamist pump would not be able to flow enough water to maintain its pressure through 2 1.0 mm jets. A shurflo pump instead would be better for the system requirements.
