Probably the best kit you can by for our application will set you back about $1000 or so and tuning can be done by the operator it's just a balancing act really finding the sweet spot between ones preferred usage and cooling. And yes we can supply to much water and quench our flame. Now we can add methanol for some more added cooling but the gain we will see here is power and torque without actually adding anymore diesel. The cost factor with methanol would prob be neutral as methanol costs dollars to see the gain but at the same time we can see better economy. If we were just using water I think you could easily make the cost back in a year or less.
Interesting! I think most people would be looking for fuel saving mods more than anything but thanks again for the info.

Never really played with oil burners even in trade school i did a small elective on them ( which i've forgotten most of lol ) and got to play with a couple of motors to set up injection timing and general basic operation. There was a beast of a motor there tho which was this massive supercharged, twin turbo v8 diesel thing which stood at around 5.5 ft tall that i wanted to have a closer look at but was only for the heavy stream mechanics
