what i want to know is this: if it tells me to put premix window washer fluid in it, and i spray where in the hell does all that soap go. seems to my semi-educated mind that it cant be good for something when used in the long term. should i just put water in there, or maybe just dawn dishwashing soap, lol. serious though, some of the brands of window washer fluids contain a list of chemicals i cant even pronounce, let alone oned that i want in my intercooler. any imput, what are you all running in there.

 

anyone?

 

The spray doesn't go in the intercooler. It goes on the intercooler. The outside of the intercooler, specifically the part that you can see looking through the front bumper cover. Any residue from the washer fluid can be washed away with a blast from the hose the next time you wash the car.

 

I think it makes a small diff when you are moving fast enough. Dont think it makes it the temp any cooler than if you didn't have the spray but may cool it quicker or keep at cooler temps...

 

The purpose of the intercooler spray is to try to bring the temperature of the intercooler down to as close to ambient temperature as possible.

Compressing air increases its temperature. So whether or not you will notice a difference depends on how much you're boosting, and how how the air is.

 

The front intercooler spray bottle filled up weighs a total of 10 lbs. I ended up removing it and running some tubing from the front pump to the large bottle in the trunk. Takes a few adaptors to get all of the lines to hook up, but the pump still works, the water is cooler, the front is 10 lbs lighter, and there's extra room under the hood. I've been meaning to post some pictures and a how-to sometime, but here's a couple to get an idea. Basically it goes pump -> 1 foot of 5/8" tubing -> 5/8" to 1/2 " MIP adaptor -> 1/2" to 1/4" FIP adaptor -> 1/4" to 3/16" MIP to barb adaptor -> 20 feet of 3/16" tubing routed to the trunk following the front windshield spray lines. There is a slight lag when pushing the spray button until it sprays because it has to suck water all the way from the trunk, but slightly larger tubing than 3/16" might help alleviate that a bit (with different adaptors, of course).

 

If in auto will it still run if there is no water or does it have a sensor?

 

You should definitely do a "how to" for it, that's good information. Or at least send it to me, I'd appreciate it, if others wouldn't.

 

Alrighty, I'll try to make a new how-to post with more pictures sometime in the next few days. Basically I used a bunch of different adaptors to go from the pump (what you see in the first picture) to a small diameter tubing routed back to the large bottle in the trunk. I referenced http://www.norcalevo.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=755 for some pictures and tips on how to route the tubing back to the trunk, but I didn't do any electrical splicing since I wanted to keep all of my pumps working.

Your Sprayer, if put on auto, it'll spray every 2 seconds as long as its on.

that seems alot

 

check your owners manual

 

thats it ? - not much at all difference

 

thats not a bad idea with the ice dump

 

i guess it depends on the weather conditions that you live it

 

from what i hear , its good 2 use at the track - if you have enough time to hit it during your 1/4 mile time
