Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
 

It will work.
Today I installed my bottle and motor. Still looking for the nozells as there is no homedep here.
We did tests with just squirting watter from the hoze over the IC results in a drop of arround 8 Deg c in temp. You can plug that number into something like turbo calc and it will give ya a number as in how much more power that 8 Deg c translates into.

i was gonna plug my IAT sensor up to my charge pipe instead of just hangin there just so i could datalog and see the temp with and without, but then i remembered that i just got tuned with crome ;). but there is a guy in town that has this sort of thing on a srt4 and he said it gave him an extra 10 HP on the dyno.

I actually tried a set up like this a while ago. My question is, won't that ice cold water go through your intercooler and then hit your extremely hot turbo/mani?

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
 

it shouldn't if you get the 45 degree heads and mount them close enough to the intercooler.

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
 

Ive seen home made sprayer setups before. The two I saw the guys only sprayed the hot side of the intercooler. On one (which was also an srt4) they claimed 9 more whp and on the other (dsm) 12 more whp. I really like the sprayer set up. Never seen those nozzles at my Home Depot either but have heard of people using their windshield washer sprayer nozzles.

they came in a pack of 10 so i have some left over if anybody needs a few

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
 

good deal. my friend and i have been contemplating doing this as well, but we were probably gonna use winshield washer squirters rather than the ones you used from home depot.

it will work because when the water evaporates it is an exothermic reaction and it draws out heat. its the same premise as people sweating.

the only thing i might do differently is mount the bottle somewhere outside of the engine bay (not like yours is right on top of the manifold or anything) just to keep the water as cool as possible.

overall good ---- u got here

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
 

... and? The water would just sizzle and evaporate.

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
 

yeah ive always wondered about this. as your going down the road b4 a run would you spray or do spray during the run? wouldnt using co2 be better? do the same idea but with co2 and like one 45 at the bottom? dunno jut think out loud. good job

Re: made a homemade water sprayer for the FMIC
 

i could get some liquid nitrogen from the physics lab at school... that would work damn well but something would break. on a more pracitcal note i heard mixing it 50/50 w rubbing alcohol helps.
