Water injection requirements (fd)

What percentage water to fuel ratio do you guys run. I have the cooling mist 2 stage kit with 1x 1gph and 1x3.9gph jet. Now gonna increse my fuel supply and was thinking of getting a controller for the WI so it can be metered in. I was gonna work on 15% max water ratio.

You can run up to 2:1 water/fuel, theoretically. That's about the point where combustion ceases.

Water injection isn't rocket science. You inject enough water to keep it from detonating, and there is a VERY broad spectrum between "enough" and "too much".

Any where from 10% to 20% so 15% sounds good to start with. Check out this forum if you haven't already:

Anything much more than 20% water you will begin to get breakup.
Also, you need a really good ignition system to spark the mixture.
