Correct, if the temperature of the water (being stored in the engine bay) is 60C and the intake temps are 80C, what sort of cooling would you expect to see after a brief contact between the two? a few degrees Celcius? Hardly noticeable eh?...

Funnily enough, NO :lol:
EGTs are not massively affected by water injection, strange as it may sound.
Piston crown, valve (and combustion chamber in general) temperatures do drop considerably but not EGTs.
The
detonation threshold is lowered significantly, and that's what counts in the end.
