Default Intercooler Misting system.



I’m Working On an Intercooler Misting system.

I have Most of the Parts And Costs Figured out!
I want to get together (within two weeks) with other Audis to work out the system and wiring. I have a couple of plans Different Strategies But they all seem to work..,
I personally am not looking for a fully automated system, I want to be able to control the amount of Liquid dispensed. I will have it wired on a momentary Circuit.
Either Instant on As long as the switch is depressed-
Or Every Press of the switch will = 5-10 seconds.

I found the perfect pump – Very durable
I found a collection of nozzles (need response from Manufacturer)
The wiring will be a snap – Some small details
The Washer tank will be the source of the “WATER”
I might do a remote tank set up (in the trunk) but more issues arise with that setup.

The total cost around $60
Benefits Less chance of detonation on hot days.
No loss of power due to a hot intercooler.

I’ve spoken to some Imprezza Guys and they say the spray system is excellent.

I need to speak with other Audi guys figure some final details out.. We can get to gether and do our cars on one weekend.

So I’m looking for anyone in So Cal that is interested. I plan on also doing the Wheel well mod at the same time.

If you are interested in taking part in this please E-MAIL ME.

Default Only problem wit that is the heat transfer inertia, unless you do

extended WOT driving. You want to cool the intercooler body temp BEFORE you actually need it, or it won't do any good. By the time the sprayer cools in all down, the boost has probably gone off-line. The other side of the coin is that you run it alot, but that drains the tank.

Default I read the whole thing, and you can't build a system for what they are charging..(more)

Its a great article (5 parts) and I am quite familiar with the electronics they are using. Its an excellent well thought out piece... I ordered one today, though I'm a little worried about ordering over the net to a company in OZ....

If you read the article, you would realize that a momentary on switch is a waste of time...
