Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
Exactly. An expensive waste of money. As said, the temperature drop is more than negligable and does little if no good at all.

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
I would agree. Measuring the outside temp dosent prove anything.
On a dyno it wouldnt work again. Cause the car wasnt moving. We hooked up a bead Thermocouple and got a defnite drop in intake charge temp. THe bead was placed just after the IC. 10-15 Deg C. So basiclly your improving your intercooler effiency. This should give you an aditional 3-5 BHP easy. If you have a top mount IC like we do in this pic. You could pack it with dry ice just before you did your run. ALso since its top mount no chance of watter hiting the mani. I wont mind two if you can spare em. Will pay for shiping. forget everything. On a hot day. Hit the sprayer. You will just feel it on your butt dyno. The gains are pretty obvious. At least in our climate. |

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
it test the surfaces temp

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
You're forgetting that an NTX Ntercooler unit is a surface sprayer anyways. If it only cools the surface 2º, it ain't gonna cool the inside much more. As said, the temp drop was measured after the sprayer had been on for a good 20 seconds. if it isn't going to cool it by then, it ain't gonna cool it afterwards either. As said, an expensive waste of money and a waste of nitrous that could go where it belongs, in the engine.
On the other hand, a cheaply done water/alcohol sprayer unit is more than useful, especially since it costs about $350 less. Eery sprayer that I have ever made has cost me around $15. My point is that the high dollar units are nothing but a gimmick. |

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
That logic is still flawed.
Try this spray your tea-shirt. Sit arround do you feel cold. now go for a spin on your bike. With the wet te-shirt big difirence. But yeah anything more than watter or ice is a waste of time. |
Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
i got tired of the switch so i hooked it up to my vtec solinoid and too make sure i know when it's spraying i hooked up a led to it and put it in one of the unused panels. everything works pretty good so far. i keep a gatorade bottle with some ice and water in the fridge so it will be really cold when i use it but my chic keeps drinking it :(. maybe i should add somethign to make it taste nasty ;). j/p

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
That ice on the intercooler , pretty nice .. i think skinnye tried that for his dsm that he top mounted.. that fucker had no use until he got the school bus fan underneath.. now shes a cool bitch. Oh i got picks of the 3 inch hole he cut in his bumper and stuck a tube and ran to the bottom of the intercooler as well.. i gotta post them ...lol

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
i have some straight pieces buts thats it. summit sells U bends for a decent price. i have the injectors in my car, was waiting till i talked to you.

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
what if i run nonintecolled and just spray watter there the chare pipes come together would that work

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
even if chjarge pipes are abs

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
even if chjarge pipes are abs Even worse. ABS like almost all plastics are "Insulators" So they will keep the heat IN and the cool atmosphere air temps OUT. That's why intercoolers are made of aluminum and not plastic. Aluminum is a major thermal conductor (that's why it's on the bottom of steel frying pans too) |
Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
k i just dont have mopney for a intercooler with two in and one out or two probe intercoolers
