Water cooling AIR to AIR Intercooler!!!
 

Some might think that I am crazy, but I have an idea......

So to start my last car was a chevy astro van with 290,000 miles, the car tended to overheat when towing, so a mechanic had the idea to convert the window washer fluid into a water misting device to help cool the radiator. all it did was mist water in front of the radiator, and it helped to cool it down. So I was wondering, would that work with an intercooler to help cool the intake charge. What do you guys think, would that work well with the way an intercooler is made? well anyways, just a thought.

Were you born yesterday?

Mitsu and Subaru have this as a standard feature on some of their cars.

nope, not yesterday, and I guess it must be a good idea then if mistu and subura already have it, well not so original, but I still am glad I thought of it though.

Ohh and thanks for being so welcoming!

What cars had that option? I've never heard of it before... :-\

Re: Water cooling AIR to AIR Intercooler!!!
 

yeah, ive never heard of it as an option for cars, but i do know that its fairly easy to just put sprayers by the ic to cool it some.

Has anybody ever heard of a WRX STI?

wow your crazy man, thinking like that can kill people. nah man go for it, its a valid idea. Im yet to hear of anyone getting serious gains but ive never heard of one part making all the difference in the world. its a bunch of things together.

They have sprayer setups? I've only had my hands on regular WRX's, never a STi.

Re: Water cooling AIR to AIR Intercooler!!!
 

all STI ,Evo MR and a few seleted model evos came with factory intercooler spraying system(or how ever the ---- u call it :8).
but i don`t really see how someone could use it on a daily basis :S,

because ist automated. it doesn't start spreying til like 14psi then stops when you go below it. pressure activated solenoid activates the misting... its easy.
