It would be cool to point the sprayers forward and to the side so they get the pavement wet in front of your tires... that way you could do mad burnouts! LoL.
Or, point them and squirt the guy in the car next to you...
In all seriousness, I bet they would work if the intercooler was completely heat soaked and you were driving fast. It makes logical sense that spraying water on the intercooler would cool it down. I don't know if it's been proven or not, but it seems to make sense to me.

I'd have to agree... only a retard wouldn't be able to see that.... think of a wind chill factor, you'll be cold out side in the winter but if you'r hairs wet or your clothes are wet you'll freeze way faster! The same with spraying water on the out side of an IC, by doing so while your haulin down the road or at the track when you'r heat soaked it's bound to make a difference. That's why Subaru does it with the STi, Mitsu does it with the Evolution, and why even drag race cars and rally car's do it alike. If anyone's ever seen Getaway in Stockholm 2 at the end when they're showing the Ford Escort Cosworth at the drag track they hose down the whole intercooler as he's pullin up to the line with a fire extinguisher! If I had to guess who's right, I'd have to say that these race team's and engineers are a bit smarter than jagojon3.....

I would just hookup a pipe going along top of the Itercooler and another on the bottom poke holes in the pipes and have a 5-10lb co2 tank and a Nitros solinoid and just spray when needed. I would rather use co2 then water. But then again your flying doing 60+mph either water or co2 is just gonna come right off. but it should cool down some for the most part.

if you spray water onto the intercooler the water will match the temp of the intercooler surface, which will probably be hotter than ambient air because compressed air is going through it, then when the water evaporates into the wind going by the intercooler it will take that heat away from the ic and leave it cooler.
