Ok, for those looking for technical information, skip down a few paragraphs. I am putting this right here
at the top for visitors with short attention spans who were thinking about buying "Brand A" water injection
kit.
I'll make this fast. If you're thinking about hooking up one of those "Brand A" pieces of junk up to your
engine then you're braver than anyone I know (or you don't care very much about your engine.) If you're
trying to save money just unhook the windshield sprayer line, drill a hole in your intake, and shove it
in there. That's free, and you can use the money you saved to call a tow truck when your engine
detonates.
Think I'm being harsh? Consider this. Their water injection system consists of a pump (thats good),
a cheap piece of hose with what looks like a garden sprayer end, and a controller that turns on the pump
when it sees boost. First, that's the wrong way to use the pump and if you think you're going to
consistently get atomized water-meth out of the end of that water hose you're more optimistic than
I. Instead you're going to get a bit of atomized water punctuated on both ends by a stream. Streams of
water into your engine are a bad thing. No precision control. Oh, but you can get a 5 gallon tank.
That's absolutely necessary with that system because the control is so imprecise and the spray so coarse
that you're going to need a tank that size.
The FJO controls water injection through an ultra-fine spraying solenoid-nozzle (the object with the
wires in the top-left corner of the picture above.) The pump just provides the pressure--the
controller uses the solenoid-nozzle to precisely meter atomized water into your intake. A PC-based
interface lets you determine how much water-meth will be injected based on a very detailed 2-dimensional
MAP. (Don't let that freak you out. Setup is easy and we're here to help.) Plus optional boost control.
Plus provisions to connect to the FJO Wideband AFR.
Ok, now for the "company line." It's your turn to skip to the Pricing Info.
Begin Technical Discussion: |
After months of waiting FJO has finally released the second generation of their much-anticipated
Water-Methanol System. Never being ones to rush perfection, FJO has hit the cover off the ball with this
incredible product. The following benefits make the FJO Water-Methanol injection system the best on the
market!
- 2D Injection Map - The user-friendly PC-based setup program allows for
cell-by-cell adjustments on injection volume based on Boost or Throttle position and RPM.
- Twin 2D Boost Tables - The FJO Water Injection Controller allows you to
set up two boost tables--one for daily driving, and one for higher performance.
You can switch between these two tables by adding a simple switch in the
driver's compartment.
- FJO High-Speed Data Bus - This allows you to integrate the FJO Wideband AFR
system with your FJO Water Injection Kit. Not only can you display your air-fuel ratio in
your water injection window on your PC, you can program your water injection controller to
cut your boost if you air-fuel ratio suddenly goes lean. Running twin FJO AFR controllers
on your V6 or V8 motor? Perfect! Not only does the FJO Water Injection System display
the richest and leanest channel, it knows to cut boost if either one drops below your
pre-set level.
- Solenoid-Nozzle - Other water-injection systems that use a pressure
modulated method to adjust flow are hard on the pump. They also tend to be
imprecise and slow in response compared to the FJO Solenoid-Nozzle. The FJO
Water-Methanol Injection System maintains a constant pressure while the controller
adjusts the volume of injection by modulating the solenoid nozzle. Because
of the location of the nozzle (immediately in the intake flow) and the
incredibly precise nature of the solenoid used, the FJO system delivers
precision and response that could never be achieved by modulating the pump.
A second feature of the FJO Solenoid-Nozzle is the nozzle. It delivers
droplet sizes of less than 60 microns with a spray pattern ideally suited
for injection into a 3~4 inch diameter intake - Unlike agricultural nozzles
which are designed to operate at 12~18 inches from their target. It is this
combination of control and atomization that delivers superior performance.
- Integrated Boost Control (Optional) - Besides giving you Throttle-Position Based
Boost Control, there is a key benefit to letting FJO manage your boost while it is injecting
water-methanol. In the event that something interferes with water-methanol injection, it
can be programmed to cut boost. Not flash a light and hope that you see it and and come out of the
throttle. Immediately, instantaneously, as soon as it happens. This is a level of protection
you won't get with any other water-methanol injection system.
- FJO Pumps Feature Methanol-Resistant Seals - FJO Pumps are intended for use with
water-methanol mixtures up to 50/50. 100% Methanol is not supported because the pump is not certified
by the manufacturer for use with flammable liquids. In addition, Methanol is an incredibly harsh
liquid which has virtually no lubricating capacity which will negatively impact the pump's life
expectancy. We recommend the use of a manufacturer-certified fuel pump that is rated for use with
100% methanol if methanol concentrations about 50% are used.
The use of water and methanol to control detonation in high compression or boosted engines is a time-proven
technology. This advanced product is engineered to deliver a fine mist that can
be precisely metered based on MAP vs TPS or MAP vs RPM. With the use of 2 dimensional maps, it is possible to
program the controller to deliver exactly the correct amount of spray without the risk of flooding the
combustion chamber. Our unique nozzle-solenoid design allows for instant control and delivers a mist so fine
that complete evaporation is almost instantaneous. This results in a more effective use of the spray without
risk of condensation in the intake. The FJO Water-Methanol Injection system is constructed using materials
which are unaffected by water and methanol. To avoid compromising the performance of the system, materials
such as brass, raw or anodized aluminum, raw or plated steel, natural rubber, and silicone are not used as
they are not suitable for use with water and/or methanol.
Built to the same rugged specifications as all of FJO's products, this system sets a new standard in water
injection.
