fuel injectors aren't generally stainless and as a result will rust.

it's a moot point anyway you still need a spare injector driver to ...errr... drive it, the aquamist HSV is basically a stainless injector minus the atomizing nozzle.

EXACTLY! put fuel in them, they're fine put water in em and they'll rust.....

no you put oxygen on them they rust, like all fuel injectors.

everything I've researched about DIY WI has told me not to use fuel injectors cos they rust.

so I'm not going to use a fuel injector.

plus if I were to use a fuel injector i'd need to find one that's rated at 150cc, make a rail for it etc etc. CBA

You're right that common injectors will rust--

Here's a page on DIY WI systems that recommends the Aquamist nozzles even at the extra expense-- http://users.frii.com/maphill/wi.html


Or what about these: http://www.alcohol-injection.com/alc...nozzles-7.html

good reading, thanks Jerry


I've got nozzles, it's the HSV that's my sticking point, I don't want to spend more on the HSV than the entire rest of the kit cost me :(
