AQUA TUNE???

[01IMPORTSHARK]

Ok, prob. stupid post but i was in the Hyundai KIA forums and found a guy that had this hooked up in his car. I have emailed him for some more information. I visited the site, sounds really shady how it works, they have tesemonials which i don't ness. believe. But the guy in KIA forums said

[body]I love it, though having to fill up a water tank every time you put gas in your car is a bit annoying, but it freaks alot of people out as well. Other than that, excellent gas mileage, even better emissions, its pretty cool. And i was worried that not using water in the sytem would kill it, it doesnt, you just wont get the added benifits.

That is a little more convincing than some BS on a site. neway here is the site

and here is how it works:

[body]About AquaTune Water Injection System(TM)


This is a finely tuned water injection system unlike any other, giving atomization of water and air before going into the engine where it is further atomized, here in turn it collides with the fuel molecules making a highly explosive mixture and expanding the fuel. As this mixture goes into the combustion chamber a marvelous thing happens - a chain reaction. All carbon starts immediately being removed inside the engine to the same state it was in when it was new. This happens because hot carbon and water don’t mix, somewhat like nitro colliding with glycerine and small carbon deposits going by valve seats and helping to break off other deposits...giving a clean sweet machine with a much higher compression ratio and a more complete burning of fuels, making in essence a half steam engine, half gas engine. This makes for a sweet tune, efficient combustion and 15% to 30% more horsepower.

It’s been well known for many years, and still is today, that the steam engine is the most powerful of all engines and still used on aircraft carriers for catapulting jet fighters off the carrier. Also, the water injection was used on the P-38 fighter planes during WW II and at their high altitudes gave the engine a whopping 68% more horse power. Therefore, at 2500 feet above sea level you could expect 38% more horse power; of course, that does depend on the condition of the engine and how well it has been tuned.

So here is what can be expected from our system: from 25%, to even higher, more miles per gallon. The car can operate on regular fuel, this is true for all vehicles. It gets rid of all harmful carbon deposits. More horse power and a higher torque range. This also helps keep the oil cleaner and helps to maintain oil viscocity because of the absence of bi-products of unburned fuel and carbons that can contaminate the oil. It also reduces emmissions, lowers CO, lower HC and lower NOX. Secondly, AquaTune is like no other water injection system in that it is, in actuality a fuel cell hydrogen processor.

It produces hydrogen-rich bubbles before being introduced into the engine draft. After this it becomes an even more highly enriched hydrogen as it collides with hot metals and combustion and it drops the engine combustion temperature down. Now the engine timing can be advanced up to 7 degrees over factory specifications, if so desired.

AquaTune is a highly precise injection system consisting of air injection, water injection and an ultra-sonic barometric pressure chamber giving off ultra-sonic frequencies which in turn are splitting the hydrogen from the oxygen creating hydrogen-rich bubbles and hydrogen gases. This in turn gives a promise of 25% better fuel mileage and up to 30% more horse power. This pressure chamber adjusts to any altitude and is not affected by heat. Because the unit is anodized inside and out it resists corrosion. To further resist corrosion we use nickle-plated nipples going into and out of the unit. It has stainless steel water jetting and internal micron filtration with up to 6 microns assuring that it will never stop up. Note: most people are reporting from 35% to even higher better fuel mileage. In part, this is due to a much higher torque range and horse power because your foot is much higher on the gas petal to achieve your best miles per hour. We find that most vehicles use two (2) quarts of water to 15 gallons of fuel, depending on driving conditions. At times, we also add a 1/1 ratio of 70% by volume Isopropyl alcohol for added horsepower. This same mixture should be added to the water source in cold climates to keep it from freezing. The Isopropyl alcohol can be purchased at any drugstore or pharmacy. We highly recommend the use of distilled water to avoid possible mineral buildup.

At the time of installation it is advisable to have had a tune-up and to make certain that the O2 sensor is in good operating condition to ensure the highest achievements from your AquaTune system. Each injection unit is bench tested for top quality and to be trouble free.

So you see that with this system it’s like getting your fourth tank free. Clearly you can see you have all to gain and nothing to lose. We have a 30-day money-back guarantee and we guarantee the unit with a five-year warranty on parts and workmanship. (NOTE: Warranty void if unit has been tampered with.) We are the AquaTune Company since 1972 and our best advertising comes from you! Thank you for purchasing AquaTune.

Turning water into a fuel, now and in the future!

Wow... all this for only $400:

:dead::dead::dead:

And he even conned four people in the nation to sell it for him!: http://aquatune.com/distributors.html

I have heard of this type of tuning before but this sounds very unsafe. Water can total kill your engine. It is true that water is the best way to get rid of carbon deposits but that should be done by a tuner shop. Sounds like a huge load of monkey dung to me. your better off getting Nitrous

OMG! I don't even know where to begin with this. Not only does this company not understand how water injection works, they don't know their history, either. The P-38 used Methanol injection. Idiots.

Seems a little dodgy :ermm:

More Aquamist knockoffs. :gasmask::gasmask::gasmask:

:lol::lol: results i thought it would get. I talked to the guy more about it and he says he has had it hooked up for around 6 years and it has helped out a lot... i have saved all of his messages. if it didn't work tho, wouldn't it have blown his motor to bits????

[tibwrcsbj]

sorry don't remeber his name, and can't get to the site right now but i'm 90% certain that the guy running THE UK Hyundai Coupe Site uses or used to use a similar system, as an intercooler for his S/C.

WTF? water injection on a N/A car is just stoopid. Theres just no need unless the cars so badly tuned...
LOCK THIS THREAD..

That's right... I remember hearing about that awhile back.
