Water injection vs Intercooling

Post by Natoe »

does anybody ever use water injection BEFORE intercooling? i have my engine in a 95 impreza w/o a scoop, major sleeping and id love to keep it that way. also i like the benefit of injection of raising octane/ allowing more boost. but will the air be too hot?
anybody done this with or without an intercooler?

On h2o, you might look at the control system reviewed in
autospeed.com--"intelligent intercooler water spray"

also coolingmist.com and aquamist have control systems
