Water Inejection and Premix!

Don't argue about water injection here, there are like a half million other threads for that.

Don't argue about premix here, there are like a billion other really, really long threads for that.


I am interested if anyone has run into any issues using the two together, or could think of an issue that would develop. I can't see any problem with it, and I highly doubt there would be, but I would like some input from the rest of the gurus here.

Because I could always be missing something, possably something like the vapor joining with the premix and negating its lubricating abilities, or whatever. I'm not a chemist :p

Also wondering the affect 30-50% alcohol injection w/ the water would have on the premix.

This is not really in reference to the 30 second burst injections common on high boost setups (though that may be relivent) This is more a question relating to the full-time water injection similar to old SAAB concept setups and old high compression muscle-cars. Assume a varying amount of water/alcohol is being injected at all times exept startup, at all RPM.

I'll be running water and oil together and don't expect any problems

I would think that it wouldn't be too easy to get into trouble since pre-mix is really oil and water is well water. The two are not compatible with each other. This is the reason the two separate when put into a glass. IIRC oil is non-polar and water IS polar so they aren't soluable. sp??
