Alright, I know I dont drive a msp...........but my 1.8t vw has some of the same problems that you guys have with heatsoak. One of the easiest and cheapest ways to remedy this is to spray the intercooler with some cool liquid to bring the charge temps down. I have a system thought up that would be great for both of our cars. The kit would contain a separate resevoir for whatever type of liquid you want to use, so you wouldnt have to use your windshield wash resevoir. A separate pump and nozzle system just for spraying the intercooler. And a switch that would be mounted somewhere in the interior to control the spray. The kit would come complete with easy to follow directions and everything needed for the install. Price would most likely be sub 100 dollars shipped to your door!

let me know if there would be any interest!
thanks- Joe

we will be using my car as a prototype in order to develop it and make it fit, since he lives in my hometown a couple hours away, it might take a couple weeks, but i think this could be a quality, inexpensive way to cool our intake charge down a bit

also it says "if there would be any interest"

as in guaging..............for interest.......like i said

is it really that big of a deal how it was worded
im more worried about going fast

But, thats not the way I do things.......I am going to use the best nozzle I can find that wont leak or drip, and has the best atomization properties for maximum cooling efficiency. So Most likely the price will be sub 100 dollars.

Yeah and some long term use applications would be nice.

I don't want this to destroy or rust anything......

Emode
09-18-2003, 05:28 PM
well that sucks cause we were planning on adding self destruct button and coating it in super corrosive copper................back to the drawing board:D

seriously though, we are going to try and get at least 5-10 people interested in this so it will be worth our work. I will be going back in one week and ill meet with ghettlo and we will get this thing up on my vehicle. for those with quality concerns, i woulnt do stuff to my car unless it was clean and of good workmanship, so thats all i would pass on to anyone else. So if you interested, drop a post and ghettlo (joe) and i will keep you informed to our progress.

thanks

Long term effects are not going to be an issue, your intercooler gets wet just about everytime it rains or if you go through a car wash. I would be more worried about the corrosives they use at the car wash, or the pollutants in the puddles you drive through in a rain storm. Also your not going to see any gains with this type of device. What this will do is allow you to keep the power you already have longer, and when your intercooler becomes heatsoaked this will cool it down quicker. There is a reason sti and evo owners already use these on there cars.

See if you can mount the spray button on the steering wheel? So it's always there for "spraying"

ghettlo, I wasnt worried about corrosion :) I was just wondering about its ability to reduce heatsoak. I didnt know that such devices were already in use on other cars.

just add an extra T to your windshield nozzles and buy some stupid rice nozzle lights and mount em behind the bumper near the grill. flush out all the windshield washer fluid and just use water. simple easy to use why pay 100 when u can spend $20.

for those who doubt what IC sprayers can do, i can assure you that they are worth it! i custom fabbed a set for my msp and i definitely can notice a difference.

i do not have any "numbers" for you dyno freaks, but it is noticeable.
for instance: when launching in florida's hot afternoon sun, my msp would seem boggish or lacking power with the hesitation being very noticable and annoying. after flicking the switch and letting the sprayers run for about 8-10 secs., the car would pull smoother and the hesitation was almost non-existent.

this is only a water set-up; i am using the factory washer pump and bottle too.

here are some pics:

theres plenty of kits already on the market..search around...personally i wouldnt buy a kit from some guy made in his garage when theres kits that have been around for awile

Little Beavis
09-19-2003, 01:15 AM
Where at are the kits that have been around? (Sorry I'm search challenged. . .)

Anyway, I would be interested. Just to be able to spray it when I'm at a light on a hot day and see the steam rise. . .that might be worth it alone! :D

As far as the engineering involved, if you can cool down the intercooler, you'll have a greater delta T between the intake charge and the "ambient" at that point, so you will remove more heat and have a denser air charge, ie. lower temp. Kind of like trying to get the benefit of an air to water intercooler, of course it only "lasts" as long as the time it takes to spray and return to the original temp. Who knows how long that is. But a spray before a race, will help if the car is hot already. If the intercooler is the same temp as the spray, no benefit.

Yippee. . .

But I'm usually visiting my brothers in Madison, so I'm in Wisconsin from time to time, so I'm all for checking this out when you have a prototype ready.

Huh, well I think I will bypass the intercooler sprayer idea altogether. I'm actually making the move from Florida to Stevens Point, Wisconsin so if any of you run in Kaukana let me know. I have a NX EFI kit going on my 2003.5. I had the kit from my previous car, so it will be the first modification to the MSP once she's broken in a little more.

Corksport has a kit for like $125 that uses the ww nozzles too.

Maybe now all of the people who think CAIs are better than SRIs will realize that getting one of these is the REAL way to get cooler air.

Yes there are other people out there that make water mist kits, but there isnt anyone that has a straight up msp kit! Also I dont know about you guys but I would rather have some easy to follow directions directly related to my car, rather then having to figure things out while doing an install. The products in these links are great, but one is just a controller.........you still have to fab up a resevoir, pump, and tubing. The autospeed setup looks like it is crazy expensive! To the person who said they dont want to buy something produced in some guys garage........dont buy one from me! But, just think about how every car parts company got started. I am sure that they didnt just move into a multi million dollar facility and start making parts, most likely they started out in there garage/basement!

Its going to cost more then 20 to do this properly. Just spraying your intercooler with any nozzle will cool it down a little. Just soaking the ic isnt the best way to do it. The reason why I am using a really fine mist nozzle is because..........the finer the mist the easier and faster the water will evaporate............as the water evaporates it takes heat with it..........this has been proven to be the most effective and efficient process for ic spraying. If you dont believe me do your own research, or better yet go take some physics classes at your local college.

You can buy fine atomizing nozzles cheap.
Take 2 lines and 2 t taps drain your washer fluid use water run to nozzles like that guy did it in the pics and itll mist over it! If the spray nozzles on the evo 8 squirt streams of water I think windshield nozzles will suffice. besides how much water will come out and "soak" the i/c. its just 2 nozzles. If youre gonna charge over a hundred you might as well buy an NX i/c sprayer since nitrous will drop the air temp even more than water for $350.

Emode
09-19-2003, 02:29 PM
notice we said it will probably be sub one hundred
this is also aimed at people who want to keep their windshield washers normal
and maybe people dont have 350 for the nx kit, along with money to keep refilling the tanks and such

how is my post negative? im posting to help people who want just the basic water squirter with the easiest install and cheapest. it does keep ur washers in the same place, it just squirts water at the same time it cleans ur window.

BTW its you and your buddy getting on the defensive because im telling everyone else theres a cheaper way. sorry to blow on ur parade its a simple mod that anyone can do. im not flaming anyone. the only one flaming here is him. hes telling me to take physics classes like I don't know shit about cars.

Cars and the evaporating properties of liquid do not have anything in common:D Notice I didnt say you know jack 5hit about cars, I said you know jack 5hit about evaporation and the cooling properties it can posess. If you dont want to buy a kit, fine then dont buy one. I am not here to start a flame war! And if you want to tee into your existing washer system, then go for it and I am sure it will get the job done for you. Most people dont want to be spraying there windshield and waiting for it to dry at the lights. I live in a colder climate and in the winter I still use my windshield washers. I dont want to be coating my IC with ice when its negative 20! The kit I am putting together will work without a wet windshield :D and you will control when the ic gets sprayed.

If anyone knows where to find fine atomizing nozzles (preferrably made of metal for a good price let me know! The nozzles I am looking into using are over 20 dollars and shipping from australia isnt cheap! The cheaper the components cost, the cheaper the kit will be. I am not doing this to make money, I just threw the sub 100 price estimate out there to give people an idea of what it might cost. I am trying to help out car enthusiasts, I dont really care what you drive as long as its a turbo and intercooled this product will help you out. The fact that I am willing to cater a kit just for msp owners, so they dont have to figure everything else out on there own must say something. I am sourcing all the parts, fabricating brackets, and figuring out the wiring........all I want to do is go fast and if there arent other cars on the road to give me competition then what fun is a fast car? :)

Actually alot of people that already have these systems use a 50/50 mix of water and alcohol. Another option would be to use 50/50 water and windshield washer fluid (washer fluid has some alcohol in it) When I do my system I will most likely run a 50/50 water and washer fluid setup. When at the track I will dump some ice in the resevoir to get some real cooling power!

Yeah it probably does, but I wouldnt think that it would eat away at metal. Besides the cleaner the fins on the intercooler the better job it will do cooling.

mrpopnfresh
09-19-2003, 05:15 PM
Hey...good one! Depending on what kind of metal alloy is being used for the intercooler, it might not be a good idea. If a small particle of detergent lodges itself anywhere on the intercooler, corrossion would arise. All depending on the alloy of course.

The whole thing with this kit is it gives you the flexability to use what you want. If your running water you will be fine, anything else do your own research and run it at your own risk. I am sure that the detergents they use in windshield wash are not that bad, otherwise you better start washing your car everytime you decide to use your stock washers.

Also as I stated before I would be more worried about pollutants that would be kicked up from puddles during rain storms then anything I was putting in my resevoir. Thats just my opinion based on the pollution levels of the U.S

Not being defensive at all, just trying to relate my point of view. And your right I do need some chemistry classes. What I do know is this my intercooler may be aluminum and yes it might not be the smartest idea to spray washer fluid on it. But then why would anyone want to tee into the existing system so they can clean there windows and spray the ic with the same corrosive liquid (I thought you suggested this)?

If you don't want one then don't buy it, if you think it's a rip off then again don't buy one, but don't knock the guy for trying to do something for the people on this board.

And how the hell are you gonna compare the price difference between this product and a FMIC......

I have been buying parts for our prototype and will be ordering nozzles rather quickly. I would like to know who is seriously interested and what mods they have on there car.

proffesor?

Used pump and hose? What the hell are you talking about? Someone took there DA pill. :wtf:

I believe it will be a full kit including wiring, brackets, pump, dual sprayers and hose sent to your door.


......and if you weren't interested why even bother reading the thread and posting ? :wtf:

So how's everything emode?

I for one am dieing to see this kit. I think it sounds cool. (no pun intended) :D

I hope it has a nice switch to mount, maybe a momentary(sp) switch.

This sounds like a good idea. I have heard about them before but never thought about it for my car.

Are there big performance gains with this....well I know they won't be huge, but is it worth while?

I'm doing it half for the coolness factor. It will help SOME but it's not going to be awsome....I figuer (sp) with a CAI from Injen, a ram air mod and some kind of sprayer, I'll be doing what ever I can to get the air cool.....short of spending 600+ for a new FMIC.

You will be happy to hear that the switch I have sitting in front of me is a momentary switch, just waiting on emode to get his car back together and we will do the install. My only worry is for those of you with stock airbox setups it doesnt look like there are a lot of mounting options for the resevoir. You may be required to remove the snorkel for this kit to work.

what kind of monentary switch is it?

i tried to mount a "nos" momentary switch to my steering wheel, but it did not work out the way i wanted it to, so now i have a toggle mounted beside the rheostat in the plug.

Not exactly sure what type of switch it is, but its a push button one :D It provides power when the button is pushed. Should work just fine its an automotive grade switch so it wont burn out.

Basically we have canned the idea for an intercooler mister, its just to hard for emode to come up here and work on his car and I have no access to a msp. Good news is I have sourced most of the parts for the do it yourselfers.

First off the resevoir with 12v pump included can be had at autozone for about $25.00. This kit has almost everything you need to set this thing up! It includes the resevoir and pump, along with a momentary switch, cheap nylon hosing, nozzles, and a tee to hook up two nozzles (very cheap nozzles). Part number is #9-400 and once again this is at autozone autoparts.

Secondly I would recommend buying some silicone hosing to use instead of the nylon hose. Or I would also try to use rubber auto hosing, which would be alot cheaper. Can be found at any auto parts store.

Lastly the nozzle, in my view the most important part of the kit. Here is the one I was looking at using: http://www.autospeed.com/shop/category_705/browse.html
But a forum member by the name of unwound was nice enough to point me towards www.rittenhouse.ca.
The parts list:
teejet disc nozzle hss d3 $0.78 424
teejet brass core 25 $0.97 425
nozzle body 1/4"x 1/4" 1321a $1.09 452
strainer w/ check valve 4193a $2.57 454
*specify the 100 mesh size
nozzle cap 1325a $0.69[U] 457

total: $6.10 each
call the 1-800-461-1041 number and do the order over the phone (that is what i did) the cust svc is awesome. the website is very hard to navigate.
This nozzle info is courtesy of unwound, once again thanks alot!

So it looks as though the complete kit would have cost under 50 bux, which is way below my original estimates. I hope someone on here will go ahead and put this kit together and find some good results.

Last thing I just wanted to say good bye and good luck to my good friend jdm sam. I dont know what your problem is but hopefully you will get laid or your male enhancement pills will work or something.

that is very classy to give up an idea like that for us. I know its not rocket science and I'm sure someone else is doing it already, but still very cool of ya. Oh yeah, Go jdm sam haha

Just a question why would you use water?? If you used that at the track they would kick you off.
