Fellow DML'ers
Everybody on the list is always looking for more power, but I haven't heard
one person talk about a water mist system in the intake. If ambient is dry
and you inject a water spray into the inlet you increase the mass flow and
more power is the result.
I new this welder guy who was really smart in my days in the oil fields and
he had one on a big truck he used to haul horses. And he said going up large
grades he would turn it on and over the top he went. I have some really
fine mist system nozzles that we use on our gas turbine intake system that
make fog like crazy. It takes 750 psi to run them but I use them on my patio
with a water hose pressure and they still work great.
I remember in high school the teacher in auto shop would pour water down the
carburetor at high rpms to knock the carbon off the pistons for a cheap tune
up.
Looking forward to the comments on this one.
