Intercooler spray device
 

So, my friend has a pretty good condition CRX he and I are turboing. Got most of the hardware, think we know what we're doing, etc. Anyway, I just was reading about the WRX STi, and about how it has a button to spray water on the intercooler to cool it off a little.

I was considering making a device to do this- just one of the pumps/sprayers like the windshield wipers use, with a spray nozzle mounted under the bumper, and a button on the dash to activate it. This might be able to chill out the intercooler a little bit, and add a few horsies. If nothing else, it's cool.

Anyone every tried this before? any thoughts on it?

not uncommon, better to use methanol than water though, and use a circular tube with more than just one or two holes in it to spray a larger area of the intercooler.

exactly^^ some water sprayed through a windshield wiper squirter would be pointless and would make no difference, unless of course the windshield squirter you're using has an led light, now that's a different story, then you're going to have to worry about traction though, b/c that will be about 100 extra hp

Hey, I would just stick to the LED lights! I hear you get 5hp for every extra one that you put on. ;D :P

Get a CO2 sprayer :)

Re:Intercooler spray device
 

make a NO2 spray setup, get yourself a bottle, some line, a solenoid, and a piece of conduit, weld a tee in the middle of the conduit, drill the neccessary holes, and weld both ends. then hook up a switch, and not only will it work better then the rest of that stuff, if you mount/build it creatively, it'll be invisible too

get a fire extuinghser with CO2 in it.

extend the lines into the cock pit where the bottle sits. hit that button on the CO2. mutha ---- that would look cool

hahahaha look like your car was on fire!

don't they have powder in them or water or some sort of thing? i thought the CO2 was only a propellant?
