Daily driver + H20 injection = Gas mileage increase?

Well, I don't really drive my GN hybrid unless I'm out "playing". Usually I commute to work and make long trips with my 87 toyota supra. I know I won't get any really noticable performance gains with water injection, but I'm more interested in the gas mileage increase.

Problem is I don't really know all that much about it, just small tid-bits I've read on the net. So I just wanted to run a quick plan by you all before I try it.

I doubt I need that much pressure or volume since I'm NA and all. Use a very fine misting nozzle up stream of the VPC and a large tank for the h20. Wire up an on/off switch to a small pump (windshield washer pump?). This way I can turn it on while i'm on the 60 mile trip to work on the highway everyday.

I have read that the o2 sensor will then lean out the mixture and tell the computer to advance timing. Resulting in better mileage.


Thats it in a nutshell.

Problems I can think of.

I'd neeed to advance the base timing quite a bit to see good results. So that means Id'd have to run the water injection all the time? Would it be better to make a system that is basically on all the time. THen I would have to come up with an rpm activated switch that shuts off the pump at idle and low rpm.

Lastly, do you think this is a huge waste of time and effort?

I would think the best thing you could do for mileage would be to get rid of that 3.90 gear.......

Like I said in my post, I'm not talkign about the hybrid, I'm talking about my daily driver. The toyota.

Oops! My bad! lol.

Have you ever heard of platinum vapor injection? A buddy of mine has it on his 99 T/A and he swears by it for helping out gas mileage. Never used it myself though to prove such claims.......
