    WAter Injection for TRD Supercharger

    do you really need a water injection for a TRD supercharger? cuz i hear from people that in CA, u need it cuz gas is only 91 octane.

    Basically if you plan on doing any additional mods to your car after the TRD S/C plan on Water Injection being one of them and a very important one at that.

    91 octane shouldnt be a problem, if your really worried about it, you could buy octane booster, but I've run a supercharged engine on 89 octane with no problems at all(not a corolla) and my friend has a 3000gt twin turbo he runs on 89, and we all know, the lower octane you can run without pinging or spark knocking, the more efficient fuel burns.

    Just my 2 cents
    water injection is good for running higher boost and a substitute for an intercooler for a cooler intake charge temp.

    It does the exact same job as an intercooler. If your going to leave the stock airbox and pulley on then you will be fine. But like mentioned above... if your going to start playing with things... water injection is your best safe-guard.
