The iron's boiler should be run with distilled water only... How do you do the ironing down there?

I told my wife the reason she has small feet is so she can stand closer to the stove. I will add to the list having ***** is the reason she should iron clothes :D

Anything that needs water is better done with distilled if you live in a place where the drinking water is heavily mineralized.
Medical filtration is a big one.

here in north Idaho the water is pretty hard, so like MM said its used in a lot of different things some things I can think of is my wifes tea pot, our humidifier, Iron, water Injection, my wife works at a grocery store and one regular customer buys it for her husband because of a medical condition

so for water injection on a rotary engine @ 10psi what should the nozzle flow be. I have read that in general the flow of a water injection nozzles flow should be 10% of the total flow of your injectors, so stock would be 210cc or if you run 750cc P2 then its 284cc for a water injection nozzle

does that sound about right?

so how is the car treating you Jamaalsmith?

if you have access to E85 you don't need to inject it.

Yep. Just mix it with water.
Your injectable solution will just sink to the bottom.

We ran the smallest AEM jet when we were only at 300rwhp and it lost 10rwhp across the board. I will try and fine the dyno comparison and post the graph. My only guess is the Garrett core we used in conjuction with that big a compressor at low boost provides very low intake temps, and there is no additional cooling done by the water. In turn the water is displacing air that could be in the combustion chamber, therefore lowering power. If we were to run the AFRs leaner with the water on, I would suspect power levels would increase. We will wait to really play when someone doesn't mind a blown engine..

So guys...slightly off topic...but what do you think of the knight sports bumper? Type two i believe. Enough room for my intercooler? Would it still look stock(ish) enough?

In the future, when Turblown designs the next generation kit, we are hoping to have a functioning APV, allowing the best of both worlds.
In all runs, the VDI is kept closed. The VDI only causes a drop in power in FI applications.
I just found another void in my knowledge

Do you have a link describing how this valve system influences on how much air is pushed into the engine? What happens, how does this makes a change in the performance, if you get what I mean.

Now, do that with torque (since HP doesn't matter).

Yeah that doesn't really paint an accurate picture. I've driven both cars...

What I really want to do is the next car at 15 psi
