Water injection on a blaster...Has anybody tried it?

[sicivicdude]

I was thinking this.....

That tube I mention is "L" shaped. Alot like the pitot tube on an airplane. It could be aim AWAY from the cyliner's exhaust port, or TOWARD the cylinder's exhaust port. If it was aimed TOWARD the exhaust port,it would receive a quick suction from the returning pressure wave as it enters the cylinder right before the piston closes the port. What do you think?:-/

Without some sort of timing method, you would need an excess supply of water. This would certainly boil off inside the pipe raising the saturation level and decreasing the temperature. The net result might be a decrease in cylinder head temperatures but it would certainly be a decrease in tuned pipe efficiency. Then how would you differentiate the two?

An engine running less highly tuned produces less heat which changes the pipes characteristics.

Cooling down the pipe may change it's characteristics enough to de-tune the engine!

At least if you dump it directly into the combustion chamber, you know it has to endure a power stroke so it will already be quite hot (versus only 212F when it boils off)
