i searched and got no real results, does a water spayer help in performance enough that it is worth it to to do it, any help is appreciated

 

ok water sprayers anger me.

at a drag strip, you are spraying water on to a track that no one knows you are doing, wetting the track, then someone goes down the track and spins out because someone wet the track.

they do work, but just get an intercooler that is efficient enough for your power goals.

he's right. just drive in the rain your best bet is to use n2o or co2 becuase that will not drip water and i think compressed gas would do a better job at cooling. plus what if the water gets hot? a sprayer is a good option to fight heat soak.

 

will be just for street

 

I agree, dousing the track with water, just ain't right. As for N20 or CO2, it depends on your intake position, convenience, and wallet.

If your intake, is anywhere downstream of the airflow going through the intercooler, you should use N20. This is due to the cooling spray being drawn into the intake. CO2 in the fuel mixture will kill power, while N20 will boost it. Be sure to re-check your tune, if you start using N2O as an intercooler cooler.

If your intake is out of the cooling spray stream altogether, then you can make your choice based on convience and price of refilling the bottle.

You could probably adapt a water misting system to spray yor intercooler. We have them out here in AZ for evaporative cooling. If you live in a moist climate, it's not going to work nearly as well.

Hope that helps,

how do the evo and sti work on my buddies he just had the button and set it for auto but i never really looked into how it worked

 

Sprayers should only be used for heatsoak or sustained boosting, as in roadracing or hill climbing (on the scale of Pikes Peak). I recall some ausi article on a DIY water sprayer, and it only activated when the iat's got too high - which took quite a while compaired to a 1/4 mile run.

The guys who do it on the track either have an undersized fmic, or should be kicked just for being stupid (on many accounts). If you do it right, water shouldn't be dripping, it should be evaporating.

 

reasearch "HALO" on here i have one for sale right now theres a picture of it on there. im sure if you google halo nitrious you might get something.
