Bosch has heritage of water injection MW50 design in the past with Daimler-Benz DB 605. Today the manufacture claims up to 5% increase in engine performance, up to 4% decrease in CO 2 emissions and up to 13% improvement in fuel economy.

Innovations, such as the use of Allison V-1710 connecting rods and the replacement of the intercooler with ADI (Anti-Detonation Injection) (50% Distilled Water and 50% Methanol), nearly identical in chemical composition to the Luftwaffe's wartime MW 50 system, and similar to the water injection system used on Pratt & Whitney engines during ...
The quantity of water carried is sufficient for and appropriate to the particular operational role of the aircraft. Selection of water injection engine ratings (Lift Wet/Short Lift Wet) results in an increase in the engine speed and jet pipe temperature limits beyond the respective dry (non-injected) ratings (Lift Dry/Short Lift Dry).
The "Anti-Detonant Injection" (ADI) system injected a mixture of water and methanol into the carburetor to increase power for short periods. Several models of the R-2800s were fitted with ADI as standard equipment and were not given the W suffix. [nb 2] Few commercial aircraft used water injection. "A" Series: R-2800-1

The smaller engines, all 1700cc and some 2000cc, are based on the air cooled "Type 1" unit, also referred to as the Beetle engine. The larger engines, some 2000cc and all 2400cc, are based on the Volkswagen Wasserboxer engine. The most powerful versions of the 2400cc engines have water cooled cylinder heads as well as electronic fuel injection ...

In 1944 a series of newer engines was introduced, allowing the engine to run on the 100 octane "C3" fuel and optionally including fittings for various optional power-boosting agent dispensing systems, such as the MW50 methanol-water injection system, and GM-1 nitrous oxide injection system. The DB 605AM, running initially on C3 and MW-50, saw ...
