Drivetrain Aquamist Water Injection
In the articule you discuss - that there is no good place to place the nozzle pre-Ic because one cannot get an even spray thru the IC and therefore opt to mount the nozzle post IC. While I understand your point - wouldn't it still be beneficial to mount the nozzle pre-IC and get "some" cooling charge as opposed to none via post IC installation?
You sure could. But how much benifit is there, that is the question. For that matter, you can put 3 of them in the system. One pre SC, PreIC and Post IC.
The problem is you start to deliver too much water. Even with our system with a .5mm nozzle it flowed a bit much (close to 20% of the fuel flow) this is also with our gain turned down. So if you add any nozzles to this, then you are adding lots of water and a loss in power will result.
We have .3MM nozzles, which x2 would be ok. But becaues they are so small, they are more prone to blockage. These are super fine misting
But we saw a 20C change in Air temp and being that the nozzle is after the IC, i would say there is not much more cooling to be had going before it. But that is something to test in the future.
But as much as many say to put the nozzle before the IC on cars with bad IC's, i have seen best results with nozzles after them. On most cars, they seem do do better with in cylinder cooling.
One more thing is for those crazy guys that run 100% meth, may have issues with the meth eating up the fins in the IC.
Sorry, so yes, we could have but we didn't because of flow reasons.
