Windshield washer spray

I dont know about you guys, but the windshield sprayers on my EVO 8 sucks. It shoots a jet of fluid onto my windshield like a squirt gun, as opposed to a uniformly dissipated spritz that covers more surface area.

Does anyone know how to swap out the stock nozzle for one that actually sprays?

I'd be interested in knowing what will fit, too.

My right sprayer sprays almost over the top of the car and not even the dealership can adjust it. Does anyone know how?

No, my tank's always fullof the good stuff - rain x windshield wiper fluid. I'll try sourcing the nozzle from some honda parts dealer... their sprayers are the shizzle

Tried that. Thinking logically, the dealership probably tried that, made the hole too big, and then didn't want to replace the squirter.

It's not about adjusting the direction of the sprayer, its about the spray itself. Mine comes out in stream, and the fluid only hits a small area, relying on the siper blades to spread the liquid evenly. I want a nozzle that actually does what a sprayer is supposed to do and disperse the liquid in a more mist- like fashion.

Have any of you that race ever moved the washer to in front of the intercooler to blast water into it while racing to help with cooling?

I'm going to my dealership in a couple of days to pick up Galant sprayer nozzles which apparently spray much better. They fut, though pulling the stock nozzles out i hear is a pain..

At 85 mph a nice fine spray goes up and over the car, carried by the airstream. So, yeah, check out a Honda, I don't think they go that fast.
