JimAttrill Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thanks Steve, Diesel Jim is going there this week and will ask them the questions I want to ask. They apparently have some experience with water injecting Tdi's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandyManLuke Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nope, misted in to the induction pipework. getting the misting right is quite important! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Nope, misted in to the induction pipework. getting the misting right is quite important! I'd say even more than quite important - get it wrong and you squirt water straight into the intake....speedy way to hydraulic an engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landroversforever Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 slightly O/T....what does injecting water do?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 The water evaporates and in doing so lowers the temperature of the inlet air, or charge if a petrol. This increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine. This enables you to inject and burn more fuel as the air is denser and is heavier. Or if you don't inject more fuel you should (in theory) burn the same amount of fuel more efficiently thereby improving fuel consumption.

Les Henson Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think it also reduces combustion temperature and therefore exhaust gas. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think it also reduces combustion temperature and therefore exhaust gas.Les. Specifically Nox, which is exactly what the much-maligned (correctly) EGR system was supposed to do. Personally I don't give a flying **** about Nox, but decreased EGT is more to the point.
