Re: water/alky injection in na vehicles

the subaru has a nozle that sprays water onto the intercooler, not into the intake, very different. anyways i already stated that it probably wouldn't be worth it unless you did something else that required lower intake temps, such as higher compression, something that would yield noticeable gains. lets say you had a 10:1 cr engine that was on the verge of knocking, raising the cr to 12:1 and advancing the ignition timing would yield noticeable gains but you would destroy your engine with detonation. if you lowered intake temps, you could do this, have the benifits of the modifications and of the lowered intake temps.
