FC3S Murray's never ending build.

Update:

So I FINALLY finished installing my water injection system. I took my time since the weather up here turned to shit last week and I find rushing never does any good.

The kit is from Snow Performance and is the Stage 1 Boost Cooler. Kit comes with everything you need to include 220 psi pump, nozzle, water jug, activation LED, fluid low-level sensor with LED, mounting hardware, water lines, sealant, electrical fittings/crimps/eyelets...I mean they dont mess around, you get EVERYTHING you need for install. GREAT customer service too!

I on the other hand went a different route and wanted 2 nozzles at smaller sizes that would eqaul the proper size for my 50/50 meth/water mix SO they would atomize even better (plus it looks kick ass). My total nozzle size is 375ml/min and 175ml/min = 550 ml/min of 50/50 mix. I originally was going to go only water so I had 2 175ml/min nozzles ordered BUT after much more reading and research (Howard Coleman is the man!), a 50/50 mix seems to be the most beneficial for performance AND knock safety.

on to the install pics:

I mounted the pump and the fluid container behind my passenger seat due to engine bay space limitations.

I routed the water lines under the carpet by the passenger seat and up through the main harness firewall grommet, then securing to the firewall pinch weld with some 1/4 inch clamps and bolt head caps. I had to wrap the line with teflon tape to prevent chaffing on the edge of the pinch weld.

Mounted the boost sensor and relay by the brake booster. Snow recommend that you do not bolt boost sensor to the engine bay due to possibly distorting the diaphram SO I ended up using a zip tie and some .020'' safety wire to secure it.

I did have to order 2 aluminum bungs to weld into my intercooler piping (not in kit)
Here are the 2 nozzles.......

I am very happy on where I located the 2 L.E.D.'s! I ended up mounting them on the gauge dash bezel. Green is activation light and orange is the low lfluid level. They are both very visible from the drivers seat.

I had to test the pump after install and it works GREAT. The atomization is VERY fine and I would of had video but I was short handed. The kit was a great price and I CAN"T WAIT to see it perform once I finish break in.

...I need to hit the road soon...lol
