[Shotimes] RE: Water injection (sort of)

[Don McKinnon]

Paul,
Found this at http://engine.firebirdv6.com/Formulas.html. 
"To convert an injector flow rate from lbs. per hour(X)to lbs./min.(Y), we
can deduce that X divided by 60 will give us lbs./min.(Y). Y divided by
0.001586 will give us ccs per minute(Z). As an example, we have a 50 lb./hr.
injector. 50 divided by 60equals 0.833. 0.833 divided by 0.001586 equals
525. So as a rough guide we can say that multiplying and dividing injector
flow rates in the 2 popular flow units by 10 gives us a close approximation
conversion. A 500cc injector is about a 50 lb. injector. "

Also at http://www.grabercars.com/InjectorSizing.html

Conversions
500cc per minute is approximately equal to 49lbs per hour which is equal to
approximately 100hp.
lbs/hour = cc per minute / 10.2 
lbs per hour = HP / 2.04 
cc per minute = lbs per hour x 10.2 
cc per minute = HP x 5 
HP = cc per minute / 5 
HP = lbs per hour x 2.04

Looking at the Aquamist parts page they have the injectors and give the flow
rates in ccs.  I have read that I need a flow rate of 10-15 % of my FIs.  I
believe the V8 uses 19lb FIs.  What would that be in a cc flow?

I'm planning on making my water injection system but using ethanol instead.
My plan is to use an electric fuel pump and some sort of injector that is
placed immediately after the TB.

Anyone have any idea where I could get some sort of injector that has a
threaded fitting on it? Does not have to be a fuel injector but it does have
to atomize the spray. 

I also need to know about what size would be needed. I plan on using this on
my '97 SHO and only when the IRM is operating. 

Thanks
