there is also this one, which has a volvo patented port water injection system, AND traction control in 1983-84. the water injection uses normal fuel injector/pump/etc and a special water/lubricant to have port style water. i guess the benefit is very low water consumption. they were running 20-23psi on the 2.1 liter volvo engines for 350-370hp.

the traction control is the first ever, it consists of magnets on the #2 and 3 CIS injectors, so it can cut fuel.

Good post mate.
 

Thanks for that,

I have all that stuff on file from when I was first watching them in 1985.

Croatian Robbie Fransevic won the Australian Touring Car Championship in a water injected "Brick" as above.

There water injection fluid was a mix of pure water and machining cutting fluid! (like I used to use at work in the machining centers) this was so you/they could use normal fuel injectors and fuel pump to deliver the water as you described.

Very cool car :icon_tup:

i agree! i wish i had more pics. BTW the piece of paper on the intercooler is bigger than 11x17

Sick cars! so much history on the Don Meganess of water injection! kuuuuunnnnnts today still talk absolute shit LOL, poofters worked this out 130 years ago that NOTHING makes an engine produce more reliable power than water injection :)

bad-ass cars ... and truck! that 240 is totally wicked, but i've always been a sucker for wagons and that 850 ....

always thought Volvo was very underrated. this is good stuff.
