Another very nice advantage to buying a relatively inexpensive Experimental is,
unlike rental or shared-use aircraft . . . you never have to wonder how the
previous pilot treated the plane or just what they did. Obviously it works . .

Thanks again..
Someday I hope to get a chance to play with one of those systems (like make
one and do a buncha experiments.)

Power improvement was more the side effect of less detonation and being
able to operate where detonation had been a problem?
I mean it wasn't a power increase like raising the boost on a turbo
charger system?

I've run water injection on various things over the years, especially in
my 2110cc Karmann Ghia while my wife was stationed in Las Vegas. I
installed it out there due to the heat. The high compression and crazy
Smart airplane buyer! He's got a plane that outperforms by a mile anything he
could get that's factory built with an O-200 and a full panel. Plus he can
work on it himself and build ratings and time . . . there's just no end to the
advantages of buying a well-built Experimental over something
They didn't excommunicate me (or execute me!) after I sold my KR and went to the dark side, so I think you're safe.

The link to the Purdue article is addressing turbine engines, not normally
aspirated piston engines. Water injection in turbine engines is intended to
increase available thrust. It does so by increasing mass flow through the
engine, reducing the turbine inlet temps thereby allowing additional fu

Water injection has been around for a LONG time. Even "Mother Earth" magazine
covers it:

I've read about slowly trickling water down into the throat of a top-mounted
carb on a running gasoline engine to decarbonize the piston tops and chambers,
although I've never tried it myself. I suppose it's the rapid expansion of the
liquid water to gaseous phase that blows off the crud.

I'd like to clarify what I wrote yesterday about crankshafts. That page
is devoted to crankshaft failures, but doesn't emphasize enough that
another key ingredient is the "fifth bearing".a much larger and
longer bearing (twice the diameter and more than 2" longer than the
factory's "fourth
