From reading the OP's post however, I gather that he has a stock engine and is inquiring about the various devices you see from time to time which claim to massively improve the (power / fuel economy / thermal efficiency / emissions performance) of an otherwise unmodified engine, simply by trickling a tiny amount of (water / hydrogen gas / brown's gas) into the intake at all times.

He doesn't know what a heater core is. Surprising for somebody who knows so much about Miata cooling systems. MX-5 Miata Forum - Question about Miata Heaters

did you see the thread about painting?
He asked about how to go about repainting something himself. and then later brought up that he had already painted it prior to asking!.

my reply :
After I buy the Hydra I will be installing Turbo kit set up with external wastegate preset to 12psi. I want to keep the boost in that range 12psi and concentrate on the tuning. I don't want to be running boost controller lines, intercooler, intercooler pipes and turbo coolant lines, blah blah blah and anything else adding weight or blocking radiator flow.
Yeah, because intercoolers, intercooler pipes, boost controller lines and coolant lines are so unproven and a huge drag on the system.
I am suddenly reminded of a specific YoYo all of a sudden.

Thats awsome. **** those heavy intercoolers and intercooler piping!

Wasn't he talking a week or two ago about how he didn't want the weight of a turbo system? And now he wants a 12psi non-intercooled setup? With an additional heater core? Wonder what the weight of the water for his water injection system is relative to the weight of an intercooler.
Innovation is one thing, reinventing the wheel is quite another. Especially when your "revolutionary" new proposed wheel designs are all square.
