would it be possible to rerout the headlight washers to spray water on the IC i want to replace my front nose piece with one that has no headlight washers but i hate to have a button in my car that does nothing so i thought this wouldd be kind of neat
intercooler spray
- Thread starter Clied
- Start date
I was thinking of doing the same type of thing when I get my bodywork done.... I'm sure it can be done.
yes.... already done :biglaugh: just wish the water res. was bigger so i could put ice in it or something :-/Clied said:
edit: oOo headlight washers... i used my windshield washers
This is interesting, i think i would rather use the windsheild washers than headlight washers, they seem to have some more power.
Pics anyone?

This sounds very interesting, a cheap way to make the intercooler more efficient and squeeze some extra power out of the supra. What do you all think, 10-20 whp gain by doing either the headlight sprayers or windsheild sprayers... Or how about this, BOTH windsheild and headlight sprayers?
I know a guy using his windshield washer pump and resevoir to spray alcohol into the intake charge to lower intake temps. No wet mess.
guys your ic are not tomato plats water em down ant really going to do didlly
in less you had setup like a gt4 mr2 ect then it help some
the only way to go is a nos or co2

Nos, really, I dont have the nuts to spray that shit in the engine compt. That's scary. I'd go co2. Washer solvent is flammable also, but has a much higher flashpoint.
no2 is fine you need alot to do alot as in if some were to go into you intake witch most likly will not happen and if so not eghouhg to do damge in any way in less your filter is close to were you are foggin it
co2 on the other hand is even wores take up much needed fresh air

Water spray on the IC works fine...
Dave Coleman from SCC did something like this for his Silvia

He had positive results... :dunno:

^yup, just don't spray at the track! Problem solved.
Edit: Just a FYI, I run Meth injection.. windshield washer fluid is 50% water 50% methanol, this helps keep my EGT's, detonation, and air intake temps down. I love it.. Its a similar idea. It is also 20% of my fuel at WOT.

I thought you where suppose to smoked meth not shoot it up? :aigo:
j/k
couldn't pass it up!
aren't nitrous oxide and nitrogen different? a system set up to spray nitrogen would substantially cool the IC or the intake charge (IC) without any danger of igniting, i think. i didn't think nitrogen was flammable in itself, but maybe im wrong.
i'm going to run a CO2 sprayer on mine, yes it displaces O2 but if you move your car 10ft forward your going to be back in regular air but with a freaking cold intercooler. Why else would people blast thier IC's with CO2 fire extinguishers? Water spray works too...just remember like everyone said to keep it off the track.
oh, and N2O is an oxidizer...it won't just "blow up", long as you don't have a fire under your engine bay you should be alright if that's what your spraying.
