Anyone had any luck with making their own intercooler sprayer? I was thinking about using some steel brake line, winding it in an S shape to go from top to bottom of the intercooler, putting a few tiny tiny tiny holes in it every 3 inches or so for a total of maybe 9, and hooking it up to an inverted bottle of CO2, and connecting a wastegate actuator with a 7psi spring to an on/off valve on teh bottle and connect that to the compressor housing so at 7psi it opens the bottle and sprays the intercooler...wanted to know if this whole intercooler system has been tried on FD's and how effective it's been shown to be

Water injection is better....if you're going to rig up all that stuff, best to just go WI.

im scared...doesnt that like...require spending more than 20 bucks though? lol...I mean i could use some old top feed injectors from my 5.0 and install em before the intercooler and run a WOT switch to a solenoid to the injectors..but then i'd need a reservoir with a high pressure pump...

The CO2 bottle you will need to have inside the car or in a cool place. The engine bay gets too hot and you will spike to too high of pressure blowing the safety burst disc. This happens when pressure inside the tank reaches more than 1800psi. A full CO2 canister at ~70degF will be at around 1000-1200psi. This would also mean not leaving the CO2 canister in the car if it gets hot there in the summer. Just one other thing to consider.

haha hell this beats my leaking turbo oil syphon idea though .
Maybe I'll mount the bottle in place of where the 2nd oil cooler WOULD go if it was an R1, and take out the plastic piece that's there. and um, cut a chunk out of an old ford 302 radiator to go infront of it so it doesnt look like i dropped my painball gun in my engine bay...you people just wait and see...just wait...
