Anyone have a vaporjet system.

Has anyone every heard of a vaporjet system. Does it really work? And is it worth it?

Is that anything like water injection (Aquamist)?

What are you trying to accomplish? I dont think that you will see any gains at all on our cars, just my opinion.

I started wondering about it. Because I wanted to find a way to let my engine run cooler.

The main function of this vapor jet is: a thin mist of water vapour passes into the inlet manifold, via the fuel regulator. This produces a more efficient burn in the cylinders, resulting in the ECU increasing fuelling, giving more power. Secondly it can reduce the chances of detonation by spraying cool water into the cylinders - ideal for Fuel Injection and Carburettor vehicles. As for Turbocharged vehicles, they would need to use a one-way valve to connect to the air intake of the inlet manifold. For best results, use nine parts water to one part methanol or 100% alcohol. The other feature of this 2nd generation version is its clear bottle so you can detect the water level easily and see how the vapor jet in action.

Check out this link I found about it.

Yep, I used to mess around with this stuff on my (sold) 1993 Turbo Saab and
was thinking of it for my 2003 VW GTI Turbo. I think the Mitsubishi EVO and
one of the Suburu models use one of these. As for the Benz (at least mine),
saving the money for a supercharger.

these are a way to make the air cold for your intake right? I have seen them before for Mini's and others. In theory they should work, but at what $$$ cost and is it really worth any cost...after-all it is only summer a few months a year
