Turbo Cars: Aquamist
Aquamist
Water Injection as used by most of the WRC rally cars is an especially clever
way of adding horsepower and protecting your valuable tuned engine. Using Aquamist
water injection is like having another large intercooler but without the pressure
drop associated with twin intercooler set-ups. The Aquamist system cleverly monitors boost pressure and delivers a shot of water mist into the inlet manifold when it senses boost pressure rising - the more boost there is the more mist is supplied. You may ask why water would make any difference to performance: the answer is simple; the small amount of metered mist increases the amount of oxygen (present in water), cools the combustion chamber and increases the charge air density. The result is more reliable and safe horsepower.
