Apologies if this is a repost, but featured in Golf+ this month. Fill it just with tap-water. Retail price from the states is approx £116. Could it be an alternative to uprated SMIC or even FMIC??

I think Topher is experimenting with something like this for his wagon.

Really, not seen anything about it. Be interested to hear from him on it.... :smiley:
Can the wagon get any cooler!!!!! :wink:

its only an intercooler sprayer. lets you spray the intercooler you already have to make it cooler

I realise that Barry, but 90% of the time on a small turbo such as 03 or 03s is a large front mount a bit of overkill I wonder... :smiley:

yeah i'm just saying. its not going to be an alternative to an uprated IC. its just a sprayer and can be used on any IC :smiley:
-
Interesting, interesting..........calling Topher...........

Sorry this is where I thought Topher was doing it -

So you put Topher up as guinea-pig nominee Adam, good man :wink:
Reading that sounds like those R-tech boys were gonna have a play with standard i/c while mapping.

no Topher has got a Forge FMIC :wink:

Just put it on the other week I think didn't he? I think they had an AUM they were gonna play with while on rollers.

yeah he did
his is an AUM too but not sure if his or Ben's car is going to be the guinea pig

Dont the Subaru P1's have this as an option - cant see it doing much though

I know the Evo does.
Lick your finger and put it out the window while your moving, it feels cooler. Same principle.

LOL - I am aware of what it is designed to do - I am saying I doubt there would be any gains

Wondered where that was gonna go. Could feel a ban coming on!!! Ilove this forum, it's even a science lesson now!!!

my old evo 2 had one fitted as standard and to be honest never used it much but when i did play it didn't really feel any different as said just sprays water over the intercooler the evo used water from the washer bottle which wasn't ideal this could be done quite easily just use a couple of mk4 washer jets a universal washer pump or s/h pump and bottle bit if pipe work and wiring and job done probably worth a go
-
it will make engine running differences but you wont feel anything also your car is over a ton and a bit of a piss of water aint going to make power to weight differences lol

yea the impreza p1 has got this standard but the water in the tank is chilled and then sprayed when needed! very :cool:
-
Sorry didn't see this post till just now. We have a method ready for testing, just need a quiet couple of days to actually see what difference it makes to the standard smic, and then we'll try it on the fmic too. If it makes a worthy difference I'll try to put a kit together specifically for a mk4. If it doesn't seem worth it I'll drop the idea and concentrate on the water injection kits we've been brainstorming.
-
Look forward to the results Topher :wink:

The STI Impreza blob eye has it and its automatic with an on off switch which is handy, so you turn it on and evertime the inlet temp hits a certain temp it sprays, does make a difference, would be a definate good mod if it was auto matic, does make a differance, but i think that one that is advertised is manual.
