Intercooler Water Sprays
 
First, read about this site:

http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article...les&A=0527&P=1

It's got everything on how to rig up a water spraying system on an intercooler under boost conditions and hard driving conditions with a computer! It's awesome.

I was thinking about a system that once you hit a desired PSI (7 psi?), turn a singnal over to a spray system (like a windshield wiper assembly), that would spray water on the intercooler dropping the temperatures down considerably. I plan on trying something similar soon. It sounds really ghetto or corny, but alot of pros are using similar devices. Under heavy or light boost conditions, it really works.

Would the tech guys at the track allow this? I would think that you would drip water on the track. Thats a big no no. They will kick you out around here if you are dropping anything on the track.

Although i totally ignored to read the article since it sorta bored me i do beleive to cool you heat soaked air/air intercooler without water would be with some sort of a gas like Co2 and n2o sorta like the ZEX kit cept alot cheaper (cant find a link for the product). I remember someone makes these things from the DSM Tunning forums but i cant find that link either but either way its a pretty simple way to fix heat soak :D

You should go back and read that.. it's a good article whether or not you want to use the water spray system or not.

The concept behind how your intercooler works is for anyone who is new to boost.

I think I'll reference that on my website. ;D
