Default Re: Location of Water Injection Nozzle relative to Intercool

As Richard suspects, the answer is YES!
The CC is a heat exchanger, and its efficiency is maximised when the temp differences are maximum.

This is clearly illustrated here:

look how the pre and after-intercooler temp differences are eliminated as the WI nozzle gets larger. (it is before the compressor)
With the largest nozzle, the pre-after temps are the same as NO W.I. AT ALL!
Intercooler giveth, WI taketh away... :wink:
