What difference will I notice when I turn on my magical gadget and take the injected water back out before it enters the engine?
Depends... Is it holy water?

Did you read the post, or just the part you wanted? Let me repeat for you...ok so most everyone knows that water compresses 0(zero).. so if wi doesnt increase power from raising compression or cylinder pressure how come almost everyone that used it as a "power adder" blew head gaskets?
Because that would be extremely stupid.and if it does just add power then why not just dump a couple gallons in every second?
Please read my post again, it has already been clearly explained.in any rate explain how it lowers egts and raises hp.. im baffled and curious how it does in your opinion.
So if we've established water in the cylinder has no benefit for performance, the next question is:
Does water in the cylinder lower EGT's above and beyond what water in the manifold does? If the small demon doesn't cause any more or less horsepower, does it cause higher or lower EGT's?
Cooling the intake air is very beneficial to performance.So water in the cylinder does NOTHING beneficial for performance.
That makes no sense.A small demon grabbing water as it moves past the intake valve will never cause a loss in performance and will cause a gain in performance if too much water is being injected in the first place.
Thats due to the water bonding with the gasoline, same as it does with methanol.I know in gasoline engines, people like to use WI to lower detonation without having to go to higher octane gas.
Or the 80% already in the air.I wonder if the water in the cylinder acts like an inert gas( like the nitrogen in Nitrous or EGR)
Wrong. The water has no effect on power or combustion efficiency. It only allows the engine to run with more power without reaching damaging temperatures. No different than installing a larger or more efficient intercooler instead.ok so you add more combustable fuel and put water to cool it down.. so its a crutch
No. ALL the fuel is burned in an engine (except with people that dont know what they're doing, the people that allow their engine to smoke black).The cooling of the air makes it denser, which allows more oxygen into the cylinder, which allows more fuel to be burned, which allows more cylinder pressure to be built, which can blow head gaskets.
Wrong. Methanol evaporates the same as water, especially since they are chemically bonded together. Methanol as a fuel is its primary trait, if cooling is the only goal then water alone is all thats needed and additional diesel can be injected instead.Eventually you will reach a point where so much water is being injected that it no longer pulls the heat out of the air. That is where the methanol injection comes in. It allows for more heat to be pulled out of the air over what the water by itself is able to do. It's purpose as an additional fuel is secondary.

300D.. opinions are not facts.. i think you think you know more than you do.. your last quote about the water doing nothing and taking no power away proves this to me.. along with your thing about black smoking(overfueled) diesels not being right.. again these are your opinions.. does NOT mean they are right..
...But I guess when your a transit tech that works on 100% stock buses, I guess you know everything about diesel performance like that douche bag. I dont think I read a post of his that is correct.

Where is your information coming from?
When both are atomized. If mixed in bulk, like the fuel tank, they will quickly separate. The time spent in the intake and cylinder is very short, hot and violent.So Water and Gasoline Mix?
Then stop spewing your opinions at us.300D.. opinions are not facts.
Right.I think you think you know more than I do.. your last quote about the water doing nothing and taking no power away proves this to me.
Wrong. A smoking engine is overfueled. That condition has zero benefits to the engine and the environment. Black smoke isn't cool, it isn't good for power and it isn't right.along with your thing about black smoking(overfueled) diesels not being right.. again these are your opinions.
Please leave thinking to those of us with functioning brains. Your post proves you know nothing about me or my job.But I guess when your a dealer tech that works on 100% stock trucks
you do relieze that injecting additional diesel, is what causes the black smoke, way to own yourself there. Also super smart mr dealer tech, without searching, what is black smoke since your so smart and lets see if you can even get that right.
