Steam injection goes back as far back as water injection. People rapped copper/stainless tube around the exhaust pipe. Water is feed into one end by gravity and the other end into the induction pipe.

We really have not looking into steam injection in great details. I really cannot comment how to do it properly. May be just inject a controlled amount of water into a pre-heated mass, steam is then vented into the inlet tract of the engine. I suppose it can be achieved by PWM'ing an inline solenoid valve from a pressurised water supply line.


Judging from some of the technical papers, it has to be quite accurate.
