So here is an update on my engine rebuild. Just to refresh people on the parts I used. I used the latest LDS piston sleeve kit, with rings and double piston oilers. Also used a rebuilt LDS injector pump, LDS single hole injectors and LDS intake rockers. The pistons are 20:1 compression. I...

So far, I'm pleased with the results. I drove it from south Carolina to north Carolina, pulled some steep grades on the way up. I never sifted out of 5th, ran 15 psi boost for several minutes non stop and the EGT never got over 1150. I do have some methanol mixed with the water, about 1.5%...

I finished the water/methanol injection system. It works great, I was able to run over 20 psi boost and keep the EGT at 1200. This wasn't an optimal setting. I had the injection u it maxed out and obviously had the fuel turned up alot. I ended up going with 15 psi boost and about 50% of the...

I gathered more parts and fittings for the water injection today. Here is a few photos of the pump and water tank location. The tank is 26 gallons.

Here is a link to the company that builds theses systems. http://www.alkycontrol.com/#!shop/c6cq

This pump is electronically controled, it's fully programmable. The max pressure it puts out is 250 Psi. The nozzle is a 10 gph @100 psi.

The pump is gravity fed, as long as the pump is lower than the water, your good.

Went and picked up a waterproof junction box, to mount the pump in. Also bought a 26 gallon tank for the water, going to mount both in the bed.

So besides Jwaller, who is using water injection and running 18+ pound of boost?

Water injection is a great way to clean carbon off pistons, valves and rings. I have the 20:1 LDS pistons in my engine, I'm going to experiment with methanol mixed with the water. I know for fact that alcohol mixed with water will not work on the 22:1 compression engines, it pre ignites.

Well I finally pulled my Alky Control, water injection unit off the shelf, I also just received a heavy duty waterproof 24-12 volt DC converter, it's 15 amp continues duty. So hopefully I will get everything hooked up in the next few days. When I do, I'll let you all know how well it works. The...

Yes I do

That's where I got my hose also. Cline is also a good source for hose. And fittings.

Where did you buy the hose and fittings?

You will be surprised.

I'm sure some of the dirty fuel probably got to that injector. The system is clean now, so all should be good.

I retorqued my heads today, I was surprised at how much they took. I'm guessing I gained a 1/4 turn. The offset wrench I used for the nuts next to the injectors, required me to remove the injectors. I discovered that the 5 one hole LDS injectors looked good, the new 2 hole LDT injector was wet...

Was also wanting the cam lift .

The engine starts almost instantly when cold. Before I turned the fuel up, the EGT would max at about 950-1000, max boost was about 8 psi. Any boost above 8 psi, and the EGT will climb up past 1100. I emailed Hercules engines, looking for specs on the cam. I want to check the cam for wear.
