Is distilled water what we should be using in this setup... or is tap water ok?
It depends on your water. If you have hard water I would run distilled. I run tap water and have for years. Our optional water filter filters out most impurities.
When I get my srt4 one of my main concerns for moding it. Is the water injection kit relible it self and it it reliable for the car. what Im trying to ask that everyone is wondering is, Can you have a water injection kit on you srt4 and use it all the time, and have it be reliable? thanks

its designed for daily driven cars or full race cars. The kit is very reliable, its been on our project car for close to 4 years. Your only real concerns are the following:
1) running out of water. Just make sure its full.
2) clogged nozzles. Get our water filter and clog nozzle detector.
Using the stock 1gal. washer tank, how often should I expect to fill it up? I hit WOT atleast once a day (not really but there are days when I hit it more then once and days when I dont at all). I would imagine I could go almost a month without having to fill it (even though I always keep it full).
Finished my single stage 150psi kit today...install took sometime only because I wasn't sure where I wanted to mount the pump. The wiring and online instructions made the overall installation a breeze.
First change I instantly noticed was that the car wasn't hesitating like it usually did (under boost at low rpm) but due to the rain at that moment I could only experience the 3rd gear spins. Later that night it dried up and the car was driving much more smooth and with a broader range of power. I am still very shocked at the overall change the kit has made to my car and this was all on just straight water, not an alky/water mix.
My buddies ctsv would walk me in 4th gear...now its either dead even or I'm inchin away!
Cant thank you guys enough, great service and products.
Can you please post pics of your install, and location of installed parts...
thanks

about the 150 psi kits, yes we have them in stock. these are special items that we have a difficult time getting. We have about 40 150 psi units in stock. When they are out of stock they take more than a month to get. You do not need to do any special tuning, they are exactly the same as the 100 psi, except the psi is greater.
i've had my cooling mist system installed since february and it has ran flawlessly... i've been using strictly distilled water and pure methanol 25/75 mix.. w/i cured my pinging problems above 16 psi of boost on california 91 octane and significantly increased my topend power by preventing s1 from pulling timing after adding a bigger fmic, it now works even better
