Anybody ever put any sprayers to spray water on the intercooler? i only got one run out of it before track officials pulled me asside and made me "fix my leak" My sprayer nozels were from drip irrigation and were leaking constantly. However my one pass i did make with them was my best ET all day. 13.08 @ 113

This is what i had.. kinda ghetto fab, but has some possiblitys if i find some nozels that dont leak. (only cost $2)




It worked off the windshield wiper pump. just hold down the mist and it sprayed a nice mist across the intercooler.

It works well on thoes hot days, I was thinking of making the same thing but I'm still loking for the sprayers

 

good idea Another thing you can do with the spray nozzle is run it over each of your front tires for burn outs. What i did with mine was run it in the front of the bumper, and i spray people that walk in front of me.

 

i've thought about it in the past...but are these legal at tracks?? won't the officials kick you off for making the strip wet??

 

He kicked me out for having a continuous drip, but didn't say anything just said fix the drip. But i just yanked it out, cuz the nozels were $1.57 at home depot. I just need to find something that takes a certain amount of pressure before they open or somethin. I am gonna look into it more.

Just dont spray it on the line, (you shouldn't need to) but it does just spray a light mist, I doubt it would even hit the ground to make it wet.

somebody said something about those mist sprayers ppl have on their patios

Gravity would take care of the dripping if you flipped the setup to come up from the bottom so the tubes were lower than the nozzles...you've got the tubing filled with water so once the pump stops it's gonna drain somewhere. I think alot of it depends on the track officials...my local track would give you the boot for using it even if it didn't drip.

instead of putting it in the front of the intercooler, couldnt u put it in the back?
or would that be ineffective?

 

I think maybe the wind would keep it from ever hitting the intercooler if it was in the back of it.

so where can you get the nozzles from...? if at home depot what is there purpose(so i know what section to look in)

 

check the above link i posted

 

the ones i got were for "drip irrigation" for watering plants and stuff. they were like $1.59 for 2
and the tubing was .10c a foot.
