i'm not sure what em youre using but there is a hydra-specific aquamist kit from element tuning that should be ready shortly. hydra is particularly well suited to manage water injection. you can contact phil grabow here:

Thanks for all the responses, Im using an Ecutek flash and the reflashes for people at Topspeed using injection kits have been good. Im gonna check this stuff out!!

*Just emailed Jeff at PDX tuning who sells these kits. They look really good from what Ive read.

Thanks again for the help

Yes, deal with PDX. Jarad is a tuner/builder and has a dyno facility. I bought my aquamist system from him (2D). Highly recommended. He knows his stuff

Im totally blown away by this stuff. I have heard of it before but never knew how water being sprayed in there could possibly help. I red the description of the first link given. I actually might considder this now.

it is great stuff. You need to take care of it, but there is virtually no downside to water injection. It buys you detonation margin, remember it does not in itself make more power.

With that extra detonation margin, you can make more power.

If you choose to do that with more ignition advance and/or higher compression pistons (not practical here), the water injection not only gets you more power, but better fuel economy.

As close to a free lunch as you can get.
