the german air force used to use water injection very effectively in their supercharged engines - although maybe not quite effectively enough when you look at the battle of britain
Still using water injection on the harrier, without it youd get a big smoking hole in the ground instead of all that hovering and bowing malarky.
If your after cheap gains on a turbo'd motor (not so much gains as lessening losses) then misting water across the face of the intercooler can help lower temps with the obvious bonuses that gives,
combined with a proper water injection system in the inlet plenum and you should see a couple of bhp increase. but only if its set up right. And if its not set up right you can end up with issues where you have water in the bores. POP.
Im interested in trying misting methanol or similar across an intercooler to see what effect that could have
probably be ridiculously expensive for the gains youd see but for the effort of sticking a tank, washer pump and jet in the front grille it might get a fair drop on charge temps.
just need to find someone wholl let me spray highly flammable alcohols at the front of thier motor
