DIY water-alcohol injection system
Just trying to gauge how many would like to try their hand at putting a water-alcohol injection system together from scratch? 
Some DIY sites:

I remember I did a water sprinkler system on my WRX a long time ago. Off course it was all superficial but neither I have the knowledge not the proper components to make it work to spray inside the upper intercooler pipe.
Now knowing very well how the system works I wouldn't mind doing it again.

I have seen many DIY system working successfully over the years - perhaps someone could list site that describe such systems.
I have come across some very old schematics as old as 1930s. Amazed how the concept keeps creeping up especially for the last few years.
Fourteeen WI manufacturers - I am still counting ! Some mention of DIY systems definately deserves some mention and discussed.

I remember when I use to have my WRX , I use to bring a huge bag of ice cubes and place it in top of the intercooler for a few minutes right before racing it at the track. I also use to pour the ice in the windshield reservoir because that is the actual place where I use to get the cold water from when I was spraying into my intercooler.

guess i'll get the ball rolling....parts list: chime in ppl
pressure source - diaphragm pump, magnetic piston pump, CO2
MAP trigger switch - a very high quality honeywell hobbs switch or equivalent
Relay - ~40A capable to ensure that the contactors will stand up to the constant switching of a DC motor
nozzle - Hago, Aquamist
liquid level switch
fittings, tubing, wire
*a flow sensor - no flow = no boost
and a good tune

Hello All,
Here is a link to my DIY kit. I have been running it on all of my 4G63 powered cars for 5 years with great success. The setup is inexpensive, effective and extremely reliable.

Your instruction is very comprehensive, considering joining the vendor section?
Great installation. Total cost $187.99 ... great DIY savings

Sklow car,
Since you started the thread, you have access to the first page, could you list the DIY links when it gathers enough links over time?
