Reply to "Alcohol Injector?.. Has anyone tried it??..."

Perhaps a poor use of words on their part. Water does not burn, but boils. And when it boils, it turns to steam. Steam engines have tons of torque. Steam also will cool the hot spots in cylinders.

I had a friend who had a Mustang SVO. Remember, that little turbo 2.3. He would pull the hose off the waste gate and run 27 psi boost. It had a big turbo. But he had to run race gas and it was expensive for the street. He got the idea one day to try water injection. He rigged up a small tank that was pressurized by the boost and it forced water into the turbo inlet. The turbo atomized the water very well. He could run the full 27 psi boost on 92 octane with no problems. He had no problem stomping 5.0s and Camaros of the day.

Water injection does work and I have used it in my Pantera. Makes a big difference on a turbo motor. Not sure it would be of any benefit on an N/A low compression motor since they are already running as much timing as they can.
