I understand the the EVO VIII will incorporate a water sprayer for the intercooler. Is the function the same as the NX Intercooler sprayer? Or, rather to avoid heat soak in the intercooler? What's the purpose of the water sprayer and do we have a product available to honda's when turbocharging with an intercooler? Any benefits?

 

i believe the goal of cooling the intercooler is the same for both systems, but he N02 system will be MUCH more effective

 

so the NX system sprays nos into the intercooler tract >> into the charge pipe ... basically functioning like a nos setup....or/rather reducing the termperture of the compressed air by cooling the entire intercooler?....maybe i should just go to their website....nm

 

no it sprays the NITROUS not NOS onto the I/C, its basically the same effect as running your car in 30 degree weather, while it is actually 80 degrees outside.

those numbers are just a guess.

 

A water intercooler sprayer works on the same principle as a swamp cooler, evaporative cooling. As water evaporates, it wicks away heat. By spraying water onto the intercooler as done in the EVO setup and comparable configurations, the intercooler temperature is reduced as the water then evaporates, drawing heat out of the core.

NO2 and CO2 coolers use a liquid stored in a bottle that evaporates the instance it hits the atmosphere and comes out as a cold gas. As this gas passes over the fins of the intercooler, it cools far better than the warm outside air does, greatly improving the performance of the intercooler.

 

I heard that alot of the gains from a Nitrous Sprayer system is cuz the intake is sucking up the remaining Nitrous that was sprayed on the IC.

That is BS. If you cool the air enough it will make major power gains if the A/F ratio is all good It would have to go through the intercooler then the Rad in most cases and then into the intake. N20 turns to gas right after it comes out of the bottle (into atmosphere), its pretty much imposible to get it into the intake track that way.

 

the main effect that comes from the water sprayed on the evos, is the fact that windshield washer fluid is made of a huge amount of alcohol and if youve ever put it on your skin and blown on it...............it feels cold.

hondas have a pump per hose and washer nozzle, i drilled into the bumper and put a nozzle into the bottom grille, disconnected one of the sprayer pumps and ran it to a hot wired buttin, and viola a sprayer kit, i dump about a 70/30 mix of alcohol and water

 

I work with evos every day and the Intercooler sprayer doesn't do much unless it's really hot outside.

You won't find it on the 05 evos or even the EVO MR.

 

Intercooler nitrous sprayers have to be the most expensive and least effective mod ever.

Yeah seems stupid to me. Why not just turn up the boost?
