Ideally you wanna use a nozzle that atomizes very well and a pump good for at least 100psi. It's good if the nozzle can be removed without needing to remove the intake tube (ie threaded in from the outside). Make inspection and tuning easier.

Theres many sources, Aquamist 2s is the Caddie of WI IMO, Snow performance has something etc etc. If you search for water injection on Google or Yahoo you'll find quite a few.

Lorca did mine as I was a little worried about the efficiency of the stock G35 bumper and the APS intercooler, the result has been EGT's that are between 200 and 300 degrees lower at WOT than without WI.

Really the only nozzles to use are the ones made by Aquamist. From my understanding they designed these nozzles when Ford commisioned them to make 5000 water injection nozzles for the Ford rally team. I have two of the nozzles from the Snow kit and they are not designed for the the application.

The 2s is a great kit, I had it on my Z32. The only problem is the tendancy of the pumps to fail and the cost of about $950.

most magazines say: estimated whp....they never actually dyno it. It's very annoying.
so unless they show an actual dyno sheet I won't believe anything anymore I read in a car mag...
