I got these in the mail today , they are Vanderpoel water carbs , they mount to the top of your carb. and inject water (water injection) and I got the original tank too ! I have the perfect place for them

Oh, oh! Sounds like someones gonna boost compression

Very nice score. So,,,,,are you gonna boost compression?

 

[24dodge]

That's a really cool score 24, Where are you gonna mount the tank, right there on the firewall?

 

[joehalford01]

Water injection, just like a WWII fighter plane. Cool.

For us "less than in the know" guys (also read - young-uns) could you explain the water injection-compression boost thing? I'm all about learning something new!!!!!!!

 

[24dodge]

the water turns to steam in the combustion chamber raising compression. it also cools the intake charge.

I get the same effect by driving a hoodless roadster in one of our Florida downpours! Seriously, I noticed the engine ran crisper when it was sucking up rainwater..........also decarbonized the engine I imagine too.

BTW, really like the engine in your Dodge.

Just mounted them up along with the tank , started running the lines , but I ran out of parts , have to roll it outside to see if the tank is going to stay there or not......

Looks good on there 24. I like that tank. When are you going to roll it outside to see if you like it in front of the grill or if you nrrd to move it. Where else is there room for it?

 

[24dodge]

not much room anywhere , its a tiny little car , under the dash is about the only spot left.....

 

[24dodge]

old beer tap pump

Mounted up this old beer tap pump to the cowl , gonna use it to pressurize the tank for the water injection system...

I love it. Definately something you don't see everyday. It actually works too!!! Really cool man. I can't wait to hear how it works!

 

[Gastrick]

That's really cool 24. Your car has some really interesting things going on.

 

[earthman]

Now that is going to cause a buzz on cruise night! I wonder if there is a P-38 in my local junkyard that i could pull one off of?

 

[24dodge]

I rolled the `24 outside today to clean the garage , snapped a couple pics while I had it out....

 

[Bonehead]

Looks great. I always think it is the little touches that make a car special, and fun too. I think you can tell alot about the cars owner by looking at the car. Smart, mechanical, and fun.

Looking Good.....

Dodge is looking great, '24. Really like how you did the water injection with the pump. Keep up the good work.
And what is the story on the pick up in front of your Dodge in the last photo ?? '22
