You should be able to make a decent system for under
$200

Shurflo 100 psi pump $65
Accumulator $35
Napa pressure switch $15?
Solenoid from grainger or mcmaster $40
Nozzle $20

They may work OK at 100 psi, but I'd recommend the
Aquamist nozzles.  They work really well, and are
about the same price.

Look at the DSM water injection group in yahoo groups.
 Tons of info there.  I love the stuff, it really is
like adding some high octane gas, it just works.  It
works really well on cars with mediocre intercoolers.
