I think if it just goes on the front of the intercooler it's ok. Don't Evos have them as standard?

Mind you I dunno if the warm water blows back into your engine bay.

Sorry Billy, but the intercoolers arn't under the bonnett!! :D :tongue: :slap:

Sorry dont believe the 7% increase in power!

lol but any water spraying near after market air filters can't be good can it??

and they do a system for spraying ON TOP of the engine for some cars

 

When fitted to our development Saab 9000 Turbo, it yielded an increase in horsepower of some 7%, without increasing the boost at all ! Vehicles such as the Subaru Impreza Turbo, Mini Cooper S & Nissan Sunny/Pulsar GTiR will benefit even more from an intercooler spray due to the positioning of the intercooler, right on top of a hot engine

they are not near the air filter. the air filter is in the middle of the front and the intercoolers are on the out side. The whole of the front of the car gets drentched in water when its raining, squiring a littel water directly on the intercoolers will have no risk at effecting the airfilter in is stock position. Even if it wasnt in the stock position the filter should filter out a little bit of water.

oh goody next time i lift the bonnet, i will now know where to look for everything, and before anybody says it, i realise the air filter is under the headlight panel :rolleyes:

and the intercoolers are benind the 3 slots at the bottom on each side of the front bumper ;)

wheres the engine?

you DO have 3 slots at the bottom on each side of the front bumper dont you??? :D :D ;) ;)

so how do i open the bonnet to find all these goodies?? :tongue:

 

anyway still sounds like a load of *****cks to me, yes as much cool air as possible through the intercoolers is recommended, so this system i assume sprays directly into the intercoolers,? so that should mean it must be better to drive the Z in hard rain and get as much water in as possible,??

 

lol i shall have to think up a system like in the garden, to collect rain water and reuse it to spray when needed :eek:

Yep there are 3

 

see your confusing me now, WHAT 3 SLOTS :tongue:

Sorry if this gets too much back on-topic, but performance-wise, what's the comparison of intercooler mist vs water injection? I know the principal is similar, the main difference being that the former has "external" water and the latter "internal"...

Squirting water onto the outside of the IC will cool the incoming charge by making contact with the IC. Water injection lowers the charge directly, by a much bigger amount, and with the right jets, ie, Aquamist, the different size waters droplets are used at different times. The smaller ones are absorbed straight away, the bigger ones are carried into the combustion chamber. All this is accepted as being good for the engine. IMHO
