PROBLEM: On Turbo and Supercharged cars, the heat that is generated from compressing the air eventually takes it toll on the performance gains of your engine. There is a reduction or loss of power from the heat as compared to running on a cool day or a cooled off motor. SOLUTION: At AA, our research and testing with water/alcohol injection started in 1979 and still continues today...
The main function of this system is to "sustain power even under heat soak conditions" caused primarily by high temperatures and pressures developed within the combustion chamber of forced induction engines. Water/alcohol injected directly into the charged air stream has a substantial cooling effect, and acts as an effective liquid intercooler causing cylinder temperatures to drop considerably (a few hundred degrees). This cooling ability reduces detonation and allows higher boost levels to be run with standard 93 octane petrol.
At AA we have satisfied our requirements with the new AA Tuning high flow, high pressure pump. This pump tolerates water/alcohol and ensures the required flow and pressure needed in this system. Through testing and hundreds of dyno runs we have selected a certain particular W/A nozzle for this application.
This is a tried and proven safe method of holding the increase in power, and reducing detonation on forced induction engines. The only danger is letting the system run out of water/alcohol during a high boost run. Allowing this to happen causes severe knock or detonation which leads to a blown head gasket or even worse engine destruction.
The AA system helps prevent this from occurring with a customized 2.0 gallon tank, trunk mounted using the OEM battery fixing bolts for easy access and refilling. Depending on driving habits, refilling should not be required for 2-3000 miles. Water/Alcohol Injection can also reduce or eliminate the need for race-type fuels or octane boosters. PRICE £600 |
