I believe I'm doing something new with an e-boost...

I have a 1998 Toyota 4Runner that will be using a turbo charger for primary power. Water under vacuum will evaporate at 70°F and I plan to use this and the exhaust to create water vapor. Compressing this vapor and running it through a vortex tube will further heat one stream to +250°F to heat the engine block. The cold stream will be injected into the cylinders absorbing the heat from the block, thus creating expansion pressures. This exhaust will be jetted over the water in the radiator to pick up more heat and back through the e-boost and vortex tube again to keep the block hot, and chill the water to liquid in the cold stream. I realize I run the risk of freezing the water in the radiator if the system isn't completely balanced.
