hmmm...how bout ultrasonic mist generator???
those mist producing things u see on those rolling crystal balls in shopping complexes....

put it in a bottle then put a flexible pvc hose on the top of the bottle connecting it to the intake near the butterfly valve. the suction shud suck the mist into the engine

i thought of this idea before...


BTW... the main concern is NOT rust... your engine is operating about 150-200C at idle... and up to 450C at max rev... at that temp... water will immediately turn to steam and out of your engine... what you need to worry most is unburnt petrol that sit in the piston when you switched off your engine. this with the carbon deposits and also engine oil vapor will chemically react and become corrosive.

also what you SHOULD concern about water injection is the water droplet size... if it's too big. the water droplet might cool the piston TOO fast causing the piston top to pit. IF the water volume is too much, you might suffer piston lock as water cannot be compressed...

i've been running direct injection with mist nozzle for the past 3 years... no rust or whatsoever on my piston. i'm using about 3L of water to every 30L of petrol...
