There is - or there is supposed to be a throttle plate in the transit engine. A previous owner has seen fit to remove it and disconect the exhaust recirculation valve. So there should be at some stage a vacuum in the manifold.

On a slightly difrent track - has anyone ever tried fitting a second injector in the head of a diesel, to inject water directly and do away with the cooling jacket?
I thought of using a thermostat to decide which injector to fire - either fuel or water depending on temperature. Cooling the engine internaly.

It's a very hard work to do... don't know if should be useful... better to the air inflow system... soon between the filter and the engine... that should solve troubles to you once at all...

Otherwise if you're looking to inject water directly to the head petrol companies have already done it by producing a fuel based on 13% water and 87% diesel.

The temperature to start inecting water is at approximatively from 105? to 120? it depends on the type of engine. When the engine reach these temperatures the WI can properly start.

here are some datas about the Lombardini...

WITHOUT WI

34 HP and 383 NOx PPM = 11.26 PPM per HP

WITH WI

46 HP and 220 NOx PPM = 4.78 PPM per HP

NON OFFICIAL DATAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Prometeus, cpuld you give me some mre info?

I was searching at this forum after I heard of wtaer injection in diesel cars. There seems to be an 150hp AR 156 (standard 150hp) with now 250hp :shock:

Can you explain me somne more? What setup are yoy using? What parts are used? Which boostcontroller? Do you have a larger intercooler? Maybe water cooled? At hoz much is yout turbo pressure? How much cfm water do you inject?

Do you sell it? Do you work at a tuning company? You can do my car? Any price indication for the different setups?

I am asking this for my 156 2.4SW 150hp. Greetings and thanks

Can you explain me somne more? Yes I can :lol: I hope :shock:

What setup are yoy using? normal car setup for "hardware", tuned in electronics

What parts are used? Standard Alfa, Aquamist and ECU tunings...

Which boostcontroller? Standard Alfa

Do you have a larger intercooler? No mechanical changings, just implementation with WI System

Maybe water cooled? of Course

At hoz much is your turbo pressure? 1.70 bar

How much cfm water do you inject? Usually Ratio 1:1 DIESEL/WATER

Do you sell it? Yes sometimes

Do you work at a tuning company? not properly sometimes tuning companies are working for me by now

You can do my car? May be it is possible... but I live in Italy...

Any price indication for the different setups? I'm used to follow the prices of the Aquamist List... right those placed in the site.

I am asking this for my 156 2.4SW 150hp. Greetings and thanks

Yes it is possible to bring out much more power... making a goooood job we'd be able to reach easily about 220 Hp without modifications on the engine so no larger intercooler or anything similar...

Regards
