RE: water injection

Yes, I can host the image.

I don't think this is very practical.  How much goddam space does that guy
have in his car?  Let's look at what he's added:
-water-air IC
-TWO oil coolers used for cooling water
-expansion tank for said system(and pump)
-container to store water for injection
-two pumps for injection

I don't know about you guys, but you can't fit a piece of paper in the 200
engine compartment!  Our nice Aux radiator prevents anything from getting
put behind there...I wonder if that radiator is really necessary, and if
you could re-plumb it to provide a cooler for water for a water-air IC?  I
guess you'd have to replace the main radiator with something more
efficient?

I had taken a serious interest in the water-air IC idea a while ago; you
-could- pipe water to the trunk and cool it there(in fact, someone did
this with a twin-turbo V10 killer Dodge Super Ram pickup; it had twin
water-air IC's and a large cooler in the back with ice and a system for
keeping the cooler refridgerated while parked via solar cells, but pickups
have lots of space for this sort of thing.  I think they were getting
charge air temps around 60 degrees F, which meant insane amounts of HP out
of that massive V10.
