Mist Water Spray sa Intercooler

[rion]

I came across youtube and saw those Sti Subarus Intercooler with water sprays. some are mist spray, sprinklers, to piss sprays.

anyway, effective ba talaga yang mist spray? even to diesels?

[4JGtootsie]

Yes, perfect for turbo equipped vehicles. Put methanol to water and you have a potent charger.

so much better pa pala habang umuulan then mabilis takbo mo if intercooled oto mo?

[meledson]

Sa mga cars with intercooler, the colder the air going into the engine is much better.

[rion]

do you think a mist spray is still worth it on a regular hot driving applications? or even atleast benificial only on long distances and long steep uphills?

[userfriendly]

try doing a search for "devils own" They have what you are looking for. Their kits are available from Speedlab and a few tsikoteers have installed the kits on their rides. So far they seem to be happy.

They had a demo recently, grabe ang lakas ng fortuner sa dyno.

IIRC the STI and EVO use external mist spray on their intercoolers and it does help in getting cooler air to the engine. The ones for diesels such as the one mentioned from Devil's Own is an internal mist spray of water and alcohol. Both will help in lowering the air intake temperature for the engine.

that's a mist spray inside the intake chamber.

am I right 4JG?

how about practical use? like hot traffic days or long steep uphill? worth kaya spending for a used 50-80psi elec fuelpump and a agricultural nozzle? later na yung pressure switch. wala kasi dito eh...

I don't know how many psi the EVO and STI use but if you have a gas engine with turbo and intercooler it couldn't hurt to lower the temps of the intake. I know there are also versions that use nitrous or CO2 that are sprayed externally at the intercooler to lower the temperature of the intake.

me nakita kong engine na me "intercooler at the back of the engine(in between firewall and the engine). guess what it is using in cooling the intercooler. liquid. with separate reservoir, pump and subradiator.

water-cooled intercooler po yan. ano bang ride yung nakita mo?

That's a water to air intercooler as opposed to a air to air intercooler which requires cool air to pass through the fins of the intercooler to cool the intake pressurized air passing through. I see those used in drag racing with superchargers or turbo, they fill the container with ice and water.

[niky]

Yup. And when the ice runs out... it's no better than an air-to-air intercooler, though it's supposed to be more efficient, somehow.

The difference with using spray instead of a closed water system, the spray evaporates off of the intercooler, and in the process of evaporating, absorbs much more heat than regular air can.

actually its an engine. no ride yet,

no ice. just a sub-radiator and pump(pareho pang hinahanap).

[4JGtootsie]

Correct nozzle mounted inside the intake manifold or anywhere after the air filter.

it's your ride pala. hehe. medyo ot, ano po yang engine model? and may sarili po ba siyang pump for the intake cooling? dapat liquid nitrogen yan kasi water-water cooling siya.

anybody really using this?



parang may lagnat yung engine. hehe...

[speedyfix]

both evos and subarus have ic sprays. it just cools down the intercooler so air intake temps drop too.
