New high speed valve?
hopefully these aren't too expensive.

Alright the company never got back to me, but I have a few more that I am in contact with. I will retry the original one tomorrow.
Whose the most electronically advanced with HSV and how to control them? Eventually Id like to get in touch with you or put the company straight in touch with you so I don't have to go back and forth figuring out what to do.

As far as the valve goes, ask the company if it's DC controlled or frequency controlled? See post 46.
DC controlled is going to take firmware mods to the MS.
f controlled is going to take a hardware mod.
Either way should be possible.

Actually, I just assumed that non involvment = 0 liability.

Of course it would, but it would probably have to come with a driver board, which would make it cost more. I'd bet if we came up with a really affordable PWM valve, then we could get someone to write the code to make it work. I'd bet the demand would be huge.

Did we give up entirely on the FJO valve?
only the mods listed in the extra manual. the aquamist is specificaly stated as the valve to use

these guys list water injection valves with integral nozzle for about 130usd retail.
a friend bought one of these systems, and I tested it and found that it controlled the volume of water output from about 20-100 percent duty cycle.(like they advertised) ie at 20% duty cycle it still was able to deliver 20% flow, below that it didn't deliver any flow. At the time, their smallest nozzle was too large for my application. Spray pattern of nozzle was not as good as individual aquamist style nozzles, but not bad.
you could probably get a much better price on a group buy, and the nozzle should be easy to interface to the MS. The only issue is if they have or could build the correct nozzle size for our engine. (if you are looking for 15% water compared to fuel, and you are running 550's, then you need a nozzle that flows 330cc/min. you could then hook it directly to the MS output for wi.

the problem is we need a way to control it. There is no direct way.
Since my WI is probably a year away I haven't been hitting this as hard as I should. I'm going to try to find a way to do this without changing the firmware on the MS. Basically have an auxiliary board that is controlled by the MS to control the valve.
