looks it does what our EGR already does.

Yeh. If any of these miracles work, do you think for a second they wouldn't be the lead story on every TV news show, magazine cover and talk show on the planet?Tornadoes, magnets, resistors in the circuitry and all the other eBay crap are just that- crap.If you want to give your motor a bit of advantage, feed it some water. A tiny bit. The biggest payoff to water injection is in keeping the combustion chambers clean, so the engine management has a clean slate to work on. It's not magic.

Well everything that is on t.v. is crap to begin with., especially the news. All that is is one big hype machine to get you riled up, excited or scare the crap out of people so they can be manipulated. But thats a whole other subject. Usually if something isn't hasn't been seen on the tube there may be a slight possibility it may sort of almost but not really be legit. Besides, if its going to save gas the oil companys won't have and will do what they have to do to have these products removed from the market. Its happened many time before.I have heard of the water thing before. There's a company in canada that has a device you hook up to your engine that works with disilled water and provides a higher combustion than gas (or something like that.) I don't recall the name of the company is though. I'll have to look.

Theres really no need to put water injection on a stock motor... Its mainly used for engines that have boost and cools the intake charge.

Perhaps no need for water injection, but once you've run it -on any motor- you'll always want it. I got started when my 10½:1 motor would no longer turn off without being stalled on California's whatever-that-garbage-coming-out-of-the-gas-pumps-that-sure-doesn't-smell-like-gas fuel in the eighties. No more carbon, much less ping, easy turn-offs, and just a bit more performance. I don't even "inject" it, I let engine vacuum pull in its own through a valve and small orifice.Of course, for you guys who can still buy triple-digit gas..... grrrr

And I believe the myths about the evil gas companies quashing fuel savers are no more than myth. There's only so much you can derive from a 4000° F fire burning in an iron cylinder atop an aluminum piston and under an aluminum head with water to cool it. Ceramics are supposed to help, but so far the promises haven't been fulfilled. We have the terrible hamstringing of current "conventional" engine design and gasoline being too easy. Fuel injection and electronic engine management have done wonders; the next big leap will be getting rid of those stupid, 16th century camshafts and going to hydraulic or pneumatic valve actuation with complete variability.

triple digit gas? i'm not familiar with that. How much of an performance increase do you get out of that? Were can I get some? I'm curious to learn more about the water thing. Time for some research!As for evil gas companies quashing fuel savers being a myth. All corporations either swallow up or destroy any products that will keep them from making the most profit and lessening the dependance of the product by consumers. Thats why all vehicles, hell, all technology is so low tech. It keeps people dependent and needing more. Kind of like crack.

100+ octaneQuote »How much of an performance increase do you get out of that?[/quote]That depends on how far and how well it's tuned. I'd guess another 10hp/liter over the 91 octane cat pee we usually run out here.

There's also market forces involved which simply can't be controlled.
