You need to find another dealer...'05 and up has NO IC sprayer of any kind.

 

Then again, I have a friend that used to do the amateur rallying thing and told me, that with his experienece, cooling off the air piping with a cooling liquid did help noticeably.

I do believe there is benefit in cooling down the air charge after the turbo compresses and heats it up, as long as it can keep up with the vacuum that is created by the shrinking air space. Heck, that's the purpose of the intercooler in the first place. However, if you can keep the fins on the intercooler, well, cooler even, then more heat will be disipated from the air moving through the piping. The intercooler spray is an attempt at this, and it might actually work, but I can't say anything until someone does the experiment and runs the numbers.

Then again, it depends on application. If you're pushing 160MPH, the water droplets might not have any chance to work before the rushing air blows them off the fins. If you're plowing through the Mojave with caked on desert and catus on your fins, the water might not help as it can't contact the metal. It might moisten the dirt turning it to mud and that might help....

Or maybe Mitsubishi figured that under most "consumer" level applications that it doesn't warrant the extra complexity?

Who knows? I would like to see numbers, however on how the torque and horsepower are affected.

Bla bla bla, I need to replace my stolen stereo. Still picking up ______ glass from car. Autobody shop didn't put all the screws back in so I'm fighting with that too. Adjuster for the stereo told me that we all need to make "compromises". I'm skwred.

 

i used to put ice cubes in mine and used it cause i had a friend of mine hooked a lap top up in his car and said that he did a pull with and without the sprayer and it lowered the temperature a good amount

 

most people covert the ic sprayer tank and hook up methanol/water injection or alky w/e you wanna call it....lol

 

My friends srt-4 has a Nos fogger bar on the intercooler, which basically freezes the intercooler when he sprays it. On a without spraying it he pulled 356 on the dyno, and a second pull with the spray he pulled about 30 hp more. Deffinatly made a noticable difference. However with the water that is pretty much heating up a lot under the hood anyway im sure it dosent do anything noticable.

 

My question to all of you is how do you know that the sprayer isn't working on auto? I can't speak for everyone, but I know mine works because I saw it kick in while we dynode my ride last week. I set mine to auto all the time when I am driving and even if I use the sprayer while I’m driving I can't hear the damn thing, especially if my foot is in it. Also, with it being warm outside, chances are by the time you come to a stop after you sprayers kicked in, the water it sprayed has already evaporated.

 

Well, I drive over an hour each time. Ambient is like 40degC. I drive quite hard. I filled the darn thing up three months ago and it's still full.

I'm not Sherlock Holmes, but don't think mine is doing ****.

 

I use mine everyday. It sprays at 6-27lbs of boost right to my manifold with methanol.

 

I would like to stick a little blinky light in my cabin so I can see when it sprays You just can never have enough little blinky flashy lights and dials and knobs and switches and levers and displays and such {grin}

Mitshbishi should have placed water level gauges in the cabin for the levels left in the tanks

 

I don't know how Evo guys feel about it .. but I know about this from 1.8t VW's. A friend of mine has an IC mister hooked up on his Golf 1.8 ... he mixes the water with alcohol. According to the computer (he tested with a VAG-COM), the intake temp dropped over 20*C with the spray. Cooler air is denser air, and therefore the IC mist works.

 

used it once.. and didnt notice anything.. so rarely used it, but only had the car for a week

 

Mine also doesn't seem to come on in the Auto mode. So I just manually use it when I can feel the heat sagging the car....

 

Well due to the past week of hot humid weather here, you must have tapped that bad boy down to run constantly I am so glad the heat wave is beggining to pass. Heat index of 100+ isn't too bad, but when you live in Ohio, it's freaking ridiculous.

 

Hmmmm, intercoolers.... http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/turbo/intercooler.html
