Plumbed up my water spray system for intercooler yesterday but the jets i got r just not good enough they dont really mist they just pump water out!

any1 now where i can get some 1s that will mist properly!? or will the 1s i got do it with a bigger pump!?

 

agricultural suppliers. but they have such a small hole that you need a good pump. what kind are you running?

 

Saxo window washer jets really spray a good mist mate.

 

will look in2 them!

have just emailed aquamist!

cheers dude!

 

perfect thems the 1s i need! just unsure what size!

 

how do u control the direction of these jets? or does it just have to be facing the intercooler?

 

i think they come with spray patters & u just aim1

thats hwo i have done it so far!

but the jets i am usin aint the best!

also need a bigger pump can u reccomend anythin steve!? as u seem to know a few places for electric stuff! i aint spendin £300 n a erl pump!

 

Garden pond pumps!?! Know it sounds silly but I've heard ppl use em b4!

 

gte it fitted the weekend then m8?

 

so the jets have to be mounted in a position so that they are facing the intercooler?

 

I used Saxo washer jets and a Fiesta Water bottle on the cossie wheni had the 4x4 intercooler in it, worked when i could be arsed to fill up the bottle !!....

Al....

 

yes steve!

i got irrigation jets & a normal washer bottle pump & its shite!

will pond pump run 12v!?

 

I Think a normal window washer motor is adequate mate.

 

What a pain in the arse!! how have u done that on u'res?

yeah I think the pond pumps normally run off an AC adatptor so should take 12v quite happily. Gotta be worth a trip down to homebase or wickes or a place that sell fish tanks and take a look at one. They're so laid back in them places u could probably bring it back even after using it if it aint up to the job!

 

If not try this ~ £70.

try headlamp washer pump as they are a higher pressure, use bmw ones ( try breakers)

 

I was messing about with this the other day, i was using a standard washer bottle and two sizes of pipe, one the size of the bottle outlet and the other the same size as a nozzel off a WD40 spray can.

Misted really well and costs peanuts!!! lol

 

Lewis, failing all that, a wet nos kit "fogger" jet will work quite well

 

its not so much the nozzle i think as i can get them piece of piss think its pressure!

gunna piss aorund wiht a few diff setups & report back!

 

Ive got a mk2 fiesta washer bottle with pump and i got a water spray bottle from diy shop focus took the nozzle off and fitted it to pipe an it work fine an u can also adjust the spray to mist or jets

 

save your money - the water spray doesn't do much

i only managed a 6 C drop when i tested one a few years back

fit water inj - if you want to do it properly

 

hows WI doing it properly? Replacing air with water? It's only used when you can't get a better intercooler or lower charge temps and the loss off power by adding water is less than the gain of lowing the charge temps.

Spray cools the intercooler without putting water in the inlet and losing power.

 

1mm2 water injection jet with sierra washer pump gives a very good spray pattern.

I measured a 5 degree reduction in temps.

 

Think the key to having the pressure there is starting in a big pipe then going into a small pipe.

 

Sure I read the other day, and I quote..

It's better to have cold damp AIR hitting a hot IC, rather than hot air hitting a WET IC... !!!!

In other words, point the nozzles (presuming you're getting a mist) across the FRONT of the IC, not at it... Don't forget that at speed it'll blow straight back anyway..

HTH's..
