DIY Intercooler Water Spray

[pdguy]

decrease temperature at intercooler = increase performance !
clog up intercooler wit dust = decrease performance = need to clean often !

but then again wit or without water spray surely intercooler wil clog up cos road condirion in m'sia ( lots of constructions n lorries ) n also water raining !

this is hardly true. i would agree there would be some accumulated debris but unless you drive through a mud puddle this will hardly be an issue. the subaru legacy comes with nozzles spraying water onto intercooler and oil coolers. if there was going to be any reliability issues i dont think this feature would have been introduced.

I would suggest a misting effect rather than water squirters.

Is DIY water spray worth doing? and get the desired result like power gain? I thought the intercooler is already designed in a way that it gives almost good performance already.....

Well, neber mind, curiousity is one of the requirement for new invention. As long as the cat isn't klled in the process of inventing.

so,bro here...

for example....kelisa...
got 2 pump...
take off the rear washer pipe,replace with a new pipe which with the washer aim to the cooler tank....

it should be a gd way....but...really curious wht's the effect and result for the water spraying system....
some said can decrease the air-con temp by 2c
some is improve troque
fuel consumption
