As far as I can tell no one here is about to do that.

i had the same thought on the EGR and i have one sitting idle on my motor. Any tips on hooking up a simple system?
How to produce the steam is the question. Would atomized water have the same effect?
I would think if there is no direct benefit then how about injecting water in a gas ICE just to keep it clean? A clean engine alone could help fuel economy. No?

I would like to see more info on your testing...
Again, how is the steam aquired?
