hi peeps,has anyone fitted a i/c spray system,a company called aquamist does one but could,nt find a price for it,sounds like a good up-grade if your using raised boost,or has anyone done a DIY version as im intrested in fitting one in the future,cheers garry

There was a guide I read somewhere on how to do it.

I am having a custom made system to spray C02 on my intercoolers will try and sort some pictures when I have them.

i made up my own for the GTti using some tube and a bosch fuel pump to supply the water at pressure with a variable bleed return to the tank (to control the flow) the resevoir was a BMW windscreen washer tank.

i set the ECUs aux output to start the pump when intake temps were above 20 degc AND when boost was over 15psi at more than 50% throttle.this way it wasnt on everytime you pulled away.

 

intake temps dropped about 5-10 deg depending on speed of airflow through the cooler.

doesnt sound like much but i was able to squeeze in a few more deg advance on the timing.

 

i thought an aqaumist sprayed into the inlet charge and not onto the surface of the cooler? i think we may be talking about 2 different systems here?

Gazza do a search on intercooler spray i think Royal posted one some time ago it had a few commenst and some good advice links on it

Only thing to be carefull of with the CO2 systems is that it doesn't get CO2 into the intake ;) I'm sure you know this already bud but just for anyone else reading this ;)

Should not be a problem as the spray bar will be inside ducting;)

what is the advantage of CO2? is it the pressure drop across the nozzle causing the air to refrigerate?

how exactly do you plan to start the pump? just a flick switch on the dash? youl empty the tub in minutes.

If you have a UK car, you could always try and fabricate something from the headlamp washer system............ ;)
