617 and Water/Meth?
I have used water or water/meth injection on cummins, powerstroke, and duramax engins with good success. Fairly significant power can be made, and some mileage improvements too. I was thinking about doing a kit on my 300d, but haven't decided. I have seen that a few people on this site have used water injection on 617's, but haven't seen any detailed reports. I wasn't sure if the 617 responded as well as the newer light duty diesels. One issue that I have seen with some of the home made kits here is that they use low pressure pumps, and lower end nozzles. I have seen much better performance with high pressure and good nozzles. Anyone have any feedback with using a setup like this?
