[s-cars] Turbo Trim + Water injection

[Lewis, Gary M]

Nice and shiny, yes.  Some German figured it out during one of the world wars.  

To all considering this, resist the temptation to go over 50/50 water/alcohol mixture.  The goal of water injection is simply to remove heat through vaporization.  Many a study looked at amounts over 50/50, and the conclusion is always to add higher octane gasoline, and go back to more water.  If anyone doubts, do a search.
