Check out this little thing I just made...

I'm pretty sure this would work great.

there is fabric that will lets air go through it, but not water. i would use that...

nod that would work to, i thought about that for a while, but were would you put it? in front of the intercooler? inbetweem the intercooler and radiator? the water wouldn't get too cold, cause it'd be next to hot stuff

MR_DR_PEP

the water box would sit where the battery sits. Run water lines up front to a AIR cooler unit (like an oil cooler)

guys i think u complicated things a bit to much.. lol..

do the thing with the plastic around the intercooler...

have a ghetto resvevoir. remember you need a water pump and if that water pump does 2gpm then u want a 2.5 gallon resevoir. also use a huge trani cooler on the front of the car.

it should work just as good as an intercooler unless it gets heat soaked.

I think the idea to mount little windshield washer jets that would spray onto the IC is where it's at. I really enjoy this thinking like this on this site, we might talk about some ghetty ---- like a plastic ghetto tank to keep the IC cool, but this is the ---- that eventually wins the race, little things here and there. Keep her goin!!

spraying water onto your IC with sprayers is rice imo. it wont do ----.

MR_DR_PEP:

running the charge pipes through the water rezzy is a bad idea IMHO... well, not BAD, but very inappropriate... waste of time, the temperature drop would be practically nothing.

u wanna hear what's rice?
at one point, i put the sprayers at the bottom of my wheel wells, and put soap and water in the resivoir, so i could soap up my tires for a smoke show...

Dont have a link to a temp test that was done, but this does work.
The physics of the water evaporating from the suface of the intercooler greatly increases the transfer of thermal energy from the intercooler to the ambient air.
