anyone know anything about water injection, i have fitted a Snow maf system but unsure of jet size (there are 3 in the kit)
As i will only be running water (meth bad for blower rotors) i dont think i will need the 450hp nozzle,

Yes, I ran a Mitsubishi for a number of years with Water-Injection. Ok, not a Commodore.

Start off with the smallest nozzle.

You'd want your nozzle after the blower not going into the supercharger. Water doesn't compress well and will strain your blower mechanicals.

However, on your water tank, it will be beneficial to have pressurised air to backfill that, helping to force the water through. Otherwise it will get blown out of the tank.

Finally, warm water is better than cold.

Good luck.

the blower guy i bought it off, recommended using water only as meth rots the teflon rotors,
he said the water will help cool the blower in a big way and also good for lpg as it helps to cool the exhaust valve,
its a pos blower not a centrical so he said to mount if before throttle body.
I will start with the smallest jet and let tuner sought it out

Hi Bevzan I have spoken with a water injection supplier before about fitting to the supercharged commodore v6 and he fitted it before the blower, he said the same thing it helps to cool the blower rotors he also said he gained a couple of extra psi boost from the extra sealing of the rotors caused by the water.
Who did you buy your water injection setup from as I am looking to buy one for my L67.
