Alcohol and Water Injection
by: Greg Guster
Our Promise:
Engine Runup does everything possible to keep its overhead costs down, which is why you will notice our prices are quite lower than the competition.
We only advertise in Search Engines.
We do not sponsor Forums, since they carry a high price, which would only be passed on to the customer.
We rely on 'Word of Mouth' for our advertising, and with a quality product, it has treated us well.
We offer a 1 Year Warranty, that's right, 1 year.
Engine Runup's kits and parts are the highest quality versus any competitors out there.
There are two main components of any alcohol/water injection system, the pump and the solenoid(s).
Our pumps are delivered directly from Shurflo, the best name in pumps worldwide, and our solenoids are custom made for Engine Runup, with a solid Brass base, not a single plastic part, and weighs over a pound.
The seals in the solenoid are also compatible with 100% alcohol and gasoline.
A checkvalve should never be used in the place of a solenoid.
We will always offer a better product for a better price, period.
Stage 1 versus Stage 2 Kits
With each kit, we offer a Stage 1 and a Stage 2
version.
The Stage 1 Kits are for the budget oriented, that wants quality and affordability without sacrificing reliability.
The Stage 2 Kits have extra options such as a Water Filter and a Nozzle Pressure Sensor with a gauge pod mounted light, which alerts you that the system is working correctly.
With just a little more of an investment, you will be able to tell when the injectors are pressurized, showing you the system is working.
In the rare case the indicator does not illuminate, then you know something is wrong and you will back off the throttle.
Both Stage 1 and Stage 2 Kits are offered with a 100 PSI or 150 PSI pump.
Single versus Dual Stage Kits
Each kit can also be ordered in either a single stage, or a dual stage.
The Single Stage Kits are for applications where the boost builds up quickly.
The Dual stage Kits allow injectors to activate at different boost levels, which is desirable for turbos that take time to spool up.
Another application that a Dual Stage Kit is needed is for high power engines that do a lot of towing, or engines that spend a lot of time at partial boost.
Diesels are a good example of this, as they produce a lot of boost at various power Stages, and would benefit from water injection at all boost Stages, and not just full boost.
Dual Nozzle Upgrade
When purchasing a kit, you will have the option to add a Dual Nozzle Upgrade.
This allows two nozzles instead of one for the Single Stage Kits, or four nozzles instead of two for the Dual Stage Kits.
With this upgrade, you will use two smaller injectors, in the place of one large one.
The smaller Nozzles have a smaller water droplet size (measured in microns) versus a larger nozzle.
So instead of one 4 gph injector, this upgrade allows you to run two 2 gph injectors.
Another advantage of this is you can mount the nozzles apart from each other, allowing better dispersal into the air stream.
This is not a mandatory upgrade, but you can see it has its advantages.
Our kits are activated by a pressure switch, or can easily be wired to almost any Stand Alone or Piggy Back engine management system.
All kits are alcohol safe and carry a 1 Year warranty (see disclaimer).
Shipping is normally done the same day if the order is placed before 4:00 pm est.
In the case the order is not shipped the same day, it will be shipped the following day.

Fish Out Of Water
Fish Out Of Water
by: Dr. Randy Wysong
We measure our world by the limits of our knowledge and experience.
If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything like nails.
Bigotry, bias, and prejudice are all words that describe this limited view (hammer) each of us tends to embrace and apply.
A dog does not comprehend poetry, nor does an infant calculus.
The worlds of the dog and of the child are extremely limited in scope.
For the dog it is predominantly genetically determined.
Even if a dog would like to understand poetry, it couldn't and will never grow into it either.
On the other hand, a child's view of the world can expand continually throughout life.
Unfortunately, as we get into our teenage years and become certain that our knowledge encompasses just about all that could be known ? certainly more than both parents combined ? we become increasingly...

Forward Thinking With Reverse Osmosis
Forward Thinking With Reverse Osmosis
by: Christopher King
Reverse Osmosis is a system of filtration that is highly effective at removing even the smallest particles from a liquid.
It is also known as Hyperfiltration.
The Reverse Osmosis process can remove particles as small as a dissolved individual ion.
The most popular use for this process is in the purification of water for human consumption.
Reverse Osmosis uses a semi-permeable membrane that allows the water to pass through it, while ensuring that contaminants do not.
Reverse Osmosis systems have come a long way in recent years, and many people have installed them in their homes to ensure that their family is drinking clean, pure, healthy water.
Many families are rightly concerned about the quality of water they are consuming.
As evidenced by various stories in the press, people cannot always be sure that their tap water is clean...

8 Tips On Open Water Swimming
8 Tips On Open Water Swimming
by: Kevin Koskella
So you're ready to get out there and do some open water swimming to prepare for your next triathlon? Before you go dipping into your local body of water, keep these tips in mind:
1. Never swim alone. For safety purposes, always swim with a group or bring along a friend. Given the unknown elements, a dangerous situation may arise such as fog, currents, boats, etc. where you will be in much better shape with others around.
2. Adjust to cold water. If the water you are training in is cold, below 66 degrees fahrenheit, be prepared. Wetsuits are necessary. Wearing a swim cap and earplugs can help keep your head warm. Get in the water slowly and only get in for 5-20 minutes the first time out, gradually increasing your time in the water with each swim.
4. Upon exit of your cold water swim, drink warm fluids, take off your wetsuit, and dress warmly.
3. On sunny days, apply sunscreen...

Distilled Water Could Increase your Energy and Health
Distilled Water Could Increase your Energy and Health
by: Dr Edward Steiner
What makes up 70-80% of our planet? Water. What makes up 70-80% of our body? That's right, water.
Water is the single most important nutrient you will give your body apart from oxygen. Water rejuvenates us and carries vital nutrients all round the body where it's needed. Water picks up all the leftovers, wastes and debris that the cells throw off into the lymph system and transport them out of the body via the channels of elimination.
So when you drink more water it has the double combination of feeding your body and clearing you of all the waste products that were built up in your system.
Your brain needs water, and plenty of it. Without water, your brain will operate worn out, tired and sluggish. Water is the ultimate gift to give yourself to think with clarity. In addition, water acts as a kind of healthy lubricant moistening tissues and joints.

Bathing Your Newborn Baby
Bathing Your Newborn Baby
by: Michelle Higgins
Your newborn baby is so small and tender that giving him a bath might be a little scary. However, in spite of all your concerns, you will find that bathing the baby will soon be a fun thing for both him and you.
For the first few days, stick to a sponge bath, only wetting the towel in warm water and giving a baby a thorough sponging with it. Once the umbilical cord stump falls off, baby is ready for his foray into water.
Water, Water everywhere
Make sure that the towel, soap, shampoo and sponge are all at hand before you begin.
Fill baby's portable bathtub with not more than 3 inches of water. Check if baby's bath water is just the right temperature (which is a bit warm and not more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit).
Most babies usually cry through their bath for the initial months until they begin to enjoy it.
Immerse your baby slowly into the tub, feet first, and use...

Does Creatine Really Help Build Muscle?
Does Creatine Really Help Build Muscle?
by: Craig Rowe
If you are a gym rat or bodybuilder or simply interested in beginning an exercise program you have probably heard a lot about creatine and the muscle miracles it performs. Unfortunately, most people believe that creatine helps build muscle and it does in a way, but probably not the way you are thinking. The best way to describe creatine is to say that it helps the muscles help themselves build muscle. If that is not clear enough, continue reading.
Creatine does exactly what it claims to do and that is to retain water in your muscles. This is the point of creatine and it really is effective at keeping water in the muscles. Now, what happens is when your muscles are retaining water they are in an optimal state for building new muscle. As a result, when you take creatine and water is retained in your muscles then when you weight train you will get more of an effect because your muscles are better...
