Apathy Kills
Back in the 1980's, the Group B rally cars used ultra high-pressure, very fine mist water injection as an addtional form of cooling the intake charge. These cars ran between 25 and 35 pounds of boost, so you can imagine how hot the intake charge was, even after an air-to-air intercooler. :eek3: The Peugeot 205 T16 is a fine example of the Aquamist™ water injection system working very well in competition.
For a street app, the misting jet is much smaller than what the Group B teams used.
That said, if the intake charge isn't hot enough for the water mist to completely change phase (from water to a gas), serious engine damage can result. It's a complex system, that when properly managed, can do wonders.
Lately, these systems have also been used to mist methanol rather than water. The advantage of methanol injection is that it nets slightly more power -- as the methanol becomes part of the fuel charge.
So there ya have it.

h:I've been looking into a kit for this, but I just haven't taken the time to research it like I want to. A LOT of DSM and GN guys do this. They get supurb results (boosted).
