I saw that, really cool stuff! What's even more interesting is that the OE ECU is now controlling pump fuel injectors/pump and water injectors/pump. I'm interested to know the jets used and if they require service/cleaning. Also, the location and quantity of jets used.

It will be interesting how they overcome every little problem. They use three jets shared between 6 cylinders runners.

We welcome this new entry, it gives the water injection concept much needed creditability. Over the years, we have so much negative comments such as band aid etc.

We all know it is a sound concept, now at last a manufactures adopted it. It took them nine years after every WRC cars were using it. (1992-2006). I just wish the WRC un-bans it.

We have lost a 250K+ of business after the WRC bnned the use of water injection on 2006. We were the sole supplier to all those teams.

"After the engine has been turned off, the water is transported back from the pipeline into the tank, in order to prevent the system components freezing in minus temperatures. The water tank itself is also frost-proof."

Richard, could you post the sentence were they mentioned the 10bar system ?
