Re: cheap, effective water/alcohol intercooler misting
 

hmm u could hook this up with the fuel injectors, having them open under boost using a voltage-activated circuit tapping off the map sensor or something. or just use a windshield washer nozzle and hook the washer switch up to the same kind of circuit. i wonder how long the fuel injectors would last b4 they rust? what if u run a water/antifreeze mix or something in there to help with corrosion?

Re: cheap, effective water/alcohol intercooler misting
 

well i think your antifreeze idea would be maybe a good idea....but i dont think that you can combust antifreeze ???

Re: cheap, effective water/alcohol intercooler misting
 

i want to use it for an intercooler fogger, hell no i wouldn't inject antifreeze in my combustion chamber. (actually its happened b4 when the intake manifold gasket for the y8 manifold wasnt sealing and it was leaking into #4, it makes lotsa nice white steam :-X)

Pow, look down a few threads, there's already a post on this very topic.

except "POW" we are talking about the cheapest way to do it....v.s. the one below us is just getting questions answered about it... POW! ::)

Follow the links, learn some ----. Ford F150 fuel pump = stainless steel internals, get one at a junkyard. Buy a suitable nozzle, and an adjustable Hobbs pressure switch from NAPA, and "pow!" You've got a water injection system that works, and it will be reliable too.

This isn't the cheapest way to do it, but I don't believe that the cheapest ways everyone is discussing will work effectively enough or be reliable enough. If you're going to tune with water injection, I wouldn't want to blow an engine simply because I was too cheap to source the proper pump and burned out a windshield washer pump.

I beleive anti freeze would reduce the performance benefits of the sprayer by a huge lot, because it doesn't evaporate worth damn.

Re: cheap, effective water/alcohol intercooler misting
 

what about water wetter? what kind of characteristics does it have?

Re: cheap, effective water/alcohol intercooler misting
 

I'm not sure, I just know that in your cooling system the ideal coolant would be something that never evaporates because air bubbles in the system are not what you want.
