Re: Water Injection on a high compression NA

I read an article a while ago, where someone took a Ford Fiesta and raised the CR to 13 or 14:1, I can't remember, and was using a computer fed water injection setup (aquamist, injector etc) to handle detonation. His goal for doing it was to achieve the highest MPG possible. Think he was pulling off 55mpg.

If you want my honest opinion, why screw around with water? Use alcohol in place of water. Way more effective, more power and not all that expensive. The amount you'd need to inject would be dependant on main tank octane and CR of course, but hell....15:1 CR sounds good.
