Who's running Aquamist Water Injection? Ive got an issue

[qwikxr]

Any of you gurus with Aquamist Water Injection? I've got a problem with my pump, I believe. It's getting water/methanol to the pump, so the lines and filter aren't clogged... The pump kicks on, but no spray.. It doesn't seem to "Get primed".. The pump is lower than the reservour, but I have no idea what is the issue. I've ensured all wiring is correct, and ensured that the pump flow is in the correct direction, as well as verified that the output line and jet is clear...
Any ideas?.

Guess noone's got a clue, either

pull the power and ground wires off whatever switches you have. wire it up directly to your battery, and see if it works. if it sprays, then its the switch or wiring. if it doesnt, then the pump is bad. if it works, and then you test the switch as good, then it may be something in the hoses or nozzles.

well, fixed it this morning, about 8am.. sorry, forgot to update the thread..
The pump would turn on, so wiring/switching wasnt an issue...

Turned out that the checkvalve inside the pump was "stuck"... took a short 6" length of hose, threaded it onto the pump, and hit that b***h with 120psi air.. shot water about 30' across the driveway..
Hooked it all back up - GOOD TO GO..

Let me tell you this.. W/I makes some f**king power, man! 2nd gear, 6500rpm, smoke rolls off the tires and over the fenders! lol
Awesome!

Thanks, though!

I knew you would get it and figured it was something up with the pump.

what exactly is this injecting into? ive never heard of this

well, stealthy, i looked over that kit.. it appears to be ok, i suppose.. but I look at the pump design.. I know looks don't mean much, but the Aquamist pump look 10x the pump that one does.. And the pump and jet quality are the keys to the system...


Shiznit -
It injects at a user-set boost level, injecting water into the intake. Mine goes in about 6-8" before the throttlebody, and is set to come on at 5psi.

It's for cooling right?

but does it justify the extra $200 you spent on yours? jw

so that water injection would be a good alternative to the LHT cooling they put on the JRSC??
