Hi, thanks for the comment you are correct that maybe manipulating egr would be easier and could accomplish the same thing.


I first wanted to do water injection. Then i had a look at the benefits of warm air intakes. So for this project my initial idea was to just create a very controllable warm air intake.

I am good with code and electronics, so the injection and the algorithm was very easy to implement for me.

I am not a huge fan of egr as it ads a lot of soot to the engine, and mine has managed to block itself which i will have to address at some point.


I may manipulate the egr aswell at some point if i find it beneficial (to limit water consumption or if the exhaust gasses have some mpg benefit).

Oh and i am not adding steam to the egr. I just thought that the egr mechanism is well enough engineered that it reaches all cylinders. So my steam will also reach all cylinders if introduction point is the same.
