lol - sure - it would come on during the lag, and then when the turbo hits, it's already there.



i'd have to do some reading on this. i have to admit that i have not been following nitrous stuff. but i haven't even heard of anything more than an on/off sort of application, which would not work well on the street, where most of your throttle position is constantly shifting during part throttle.



speaking of shifting, that can also be a problem with nitrous. if the systems are still the same, you have to learn to shift VERY fast. if you let the rpms drop during a shift, very bad things can happen.



it still won't likely be allowed on any track though.

Water injection was used on WWII piston engined fighters as a cooling agent. It was used when taking off with a heavy load, short field take offs, and during combat. Usually in these types of maneuvers the pilot has set the engine mixture to full rich in order to develop maximum power. When the mixture control is set to full rich, without water injection, not all of the fuel is combusted, the extra fuel serves as a coolant. When water injection is employed the amount of fuel introduced into the combustion chamber is reduced thereby allowing the engine to make full power on a leaner fuel setting which improves fuel consumption.

See the beginning of this topic. I tried water cooling the pistons and it did work! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Probably would have worked better if the engine in your car was a DB-601( inverted v-12 used in the Bf-109 fighter) instead of our twin cam 4. When you have some to kill go to You Tube and search for BF-109. You will find a couple of video clips of newly restored Bf-109G-6 fighters performing flight demonstrations. In a couple of cases you will see a faint black exhaust trial behind the aircraft. That happens when you get on the power and the water injection occurs.
