Water mist does nothing for combustion speed, but evaporating water in the intake tracts (Water Injection) does allow for dramatically higher compression without ping, thx to Evaporative Cooling.
That's been in use for ages too.
I haven't seen what the exhaust etc of a Turbo engine with Water Injection looks like pgfpro.
Have you?
I look forward to your tests. |
I agree water injection is a great way to get rid of most deposits. I have a Devils Own system on the Talon. I haven't been using it for the last two years to remove it from the equation. I'm glad you brought this up after using auto paint waste solvent only with two tear downs, I've found the engine is cleaner than with water injection on pump. Especially in the ring land areas.
