| Water Injection Newb Year: 1999 Make: Dodge Model: Dakota 3.6L V6 N/A Gas Join Date: Mar 2007

| Hello, I want to boost fuel efficiency and highway performance of my daily driving Dodge Dakota pickup. It is propelled by the normally-aspirated 3.6L V6 gasoline engine. Plenty of room in the engine compartment for a water-methanol system. Special note, I live at 6000 feet above mean sea level, on dry prairie. It's so dry here that a slice of baloney left on the table will curl itself up into the shape of a bowl---the dry(er) side shrinks---in a matter of hours. Rarely will this vehicle travel below 4000 feet, and many times it will go 3 or 4000 feet higher. From reading here, it seems the progressive kit is the best bet, the problem is choosing the jet size. Most other posters here end up with the 3 or the 7 for N/A passenger cars? I'd burn water-methanol windshield washer fluid from its own reservoir, it's plentiful here due to long, unpredictable winters. Where on the engine would the water-meth be injected, and how do I connect this system to it? I have a shop manual for that vehicle so I can look around for various tap-in points on the intake. Would rather go with a system like this than hack a passive one together from aquarium parts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |
