Re: [MBZ] OM603 water injection project - update

2006-04-10 Thread OK Don
That is dissappointing. Iwas sure hoping that you'd come acorss the
ultimate easy nad cheap solution!
I haven't kept up with all the threads on Rusty's forum - does Casey
have IAT readings pre and post FMIC? To be more specific, does anyone
have data correlating IAT with EGT in a 603?

[MBZ] OM603 water injection project - update

2006-04-10 Thread Dave M.
The latest data from my water injection (ok, actually washer fluid,
which is a methanol & water mix) saga is posted here:

http://buymbparts.com/forum/showthread.php?t=475

Short summary: Even with much larger amounts injected, there's a limit
to reduction in IAT's, and nearly *zero* reduction of EGT's. Oddly,
I'm now getting a measureable power gain with the injection, possibly
from the methanol being burned as additional fuel. That's nice for a
short term power boost, but still won't allow me to maintain long-term
WOT like for climbing hills or top speed (where I have to back off the
throttle to keep EGT's from melting pistons.)
