More detailed information below. I will continue to update and add more maker. But for the time being I start with the familiar ones for the Subaru. (Feb 2014)

now only if we can get the suby specific instead of evo, but great find ; )

The makers are not EVO aspecific, given the size of Subie community, it wouldn't be difficult to approach them to produce a Subie spercific kit.

Most of them, if not ALL sell a universal kit anyway.

[Davenow]

Awesome post.

[entropy138]

Here is a website for another kit. They mainly go on DSMs but I know a few have been installed on local Evos and probably several other cars...

English Racing Methanol Kits

I'm at work so I don't have time right now to break it all down like above. I'll look into it tomorrow when I get home...

I know everyone wanted another option

[Richard L]

This is excellent find, thank you. I will add the new maker onto the list. If you can break it down it will be great help. it is a very busy month for me, the racing season is just about to begin in Europe, everyone rolls out their cars from storage.

New kid on the block - kit was first shown at the 2004 SEMA show.



I believe the kit is a no thrill, plain and simple unit that meets all the usual requirement of a progressive kit.

little info on the kit here I copied from the st/ty site:

Applications and Features:

Charge-air cooling for force induction engines
Minimizing the onset of detonation
Suitable to run water and alcohol mixtures
"Plug and Play" controller for ease of installation
All components are properly engineered for reliable operation
Intermittent diaphragm pump- more reliable than the normal windshield washer pump
Built in Thermal-Cut in water pump
Enable "Meaner & Leaner" air / fuel ratio
Increase octane rating on low grade pump fuel
Dash controller allows real-time user flow control with status LEDs
Only three wires needed to be connected for total control
Can be used with any 0-5V load sensors
Inline 100 micron stainless steel filter


Description:

The system is comprised of a dash-mounted controller and a high-pressure diaphragm pump designed to receive a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal from the controller.

The pump can be used with a high concentration of alcohol (75%) as well as just water alone; this is particularly useful for applications where alcohol can enhance the fuel octane or just asadditional fuel at high boost levels. It is recommended that alcohol be added for cold operating conditions.

The Dash controller only measures 2.3" x 1.4" x 0.6" tall, perfectly suited to fit into any small cockpit space. Although small in size, it contains all the necessary controls to enable the user to cover the'mid' to 'high' load range of any 0-5V output MAP sensor.

Injection triggering point is set by the 'THRESHOLD' potentiometer and is indicated by a blue LED on the controller. It is user adjustable between 1.5-4.5V. Adjustment to this potentiometer will determine the starting point of the water injection system. As shown in the chart below, 1.5V of a 2 bar MAP sensor represents approximately 0.4 bar below atmosphere (vacuum), while a 3 bar sensor represents almost atmospheric pressure.

The injection % range is set by the 'GAIN' potentiometer on the controller. As the red LED lights up, it indicates about 80% of full injection and will continue to get brighter until it approaches 100%. The gain potentiometer can be set to arrive at any level at any boost.

The water injection system can be switched off via an 'ON/OFF' push button, indicated by a green LED on the controller.

This latest 'Plug and Play' water injection from Turbonetics sets a new standard for the growing water injection market currently shared by many new water injection manufacturers.

Thank You

[StiLimited]

I realize the factory pump wont work for this, but does the factory STI spray system reservoir and plumbing have enough capacity to supply water/meth to this system? IOW, can any of these kits take advantage of the factory STI spray reservoir to make installation easier and maybe save a few dollars?

The Element Hydramist was developed from the beginning to be the ultimate water/methanol injection with uncompromised performance, control, and safety. The Hydramist is a fully integrated water/methanol injection solution controlled via the Hydra EMS. This system allows full 3D mapping of water flow based on load and rpm, automatic map switching, and unparalleled protection never seen before in any water/methanol injection system. When we first set out to develop a water/methanol injection system we discovered very quickly the limitations of most universal systems in that they rarely offered precise control over the injection or the failsafe mechanisms were insufficient at protecting the engine when failure occurred. To help develop a superior system for the Hydra EMS Element Tuning worked with the industry leader in water/methanol injection systems, Aquamist.

I'll continued to add to this first post as time permits.

Here is the Hydramist Installation Guide:
