Intercooler Misting...

[audipotential]

Now I have only seen a couple posts on intercooler misting and am curious about it. Anyone have good feedback?
Keep in mind I mean misting not injection.
Anyone have pics? Particularly Jet Jockey or Shawn

Here is an interesting article on the subject, it has 5 parts I think.

pretty sure you can get nitrous kits that do that.
like a bar that goes on front of the intercooler and sprays it with nitrous oxide.

i'd like to quote Vin Diesel now: "HIT THE NAAAAAAWWWWWZZZZZZZ!!!!!!"

Yea didnt do anything, was a waste of time so I took it off awhile ago. Just make sure you have a FMIC capable of handling the power your after

Lol yes matt because its perfectly legal to have nos bottles hooked up while driving lol

Its only illegal if you get caught! Its also illegal to drive on the road with a testpipe!

who drives on the road?? remember, we are awd, we can go anywhere. last year, i took my a4 up into my uncles muddy ass cow pasture during hunting season only cuz i didnt want to walk... almost didnt get there cuz it was all up hill... 8am, shot my button buck, tied the deer to the little tow hook on the back of the car and drug it down the hill to my uncles truck.. took pics of it afterwards.. have to see if i can find them... my white a4, wasnt white anymore

I remember some gino was telling me that he went offroading in his a4 quat and suffered major tranny damages

just a theory but where was your liquid? I mean wouldnt the liquid have to be like in the cabin or trunk to have a positive effect on cooling the intercooler?

Intercooler water/no2 spraying is merely a band-aid IMO... A true use for it would be if you could not fit a larger core, and have reached a "wall" of not being able to increase airflow accross the core. If this is a drag racing appliction, most chose to just to run a water/air IC when they reach that limit. Spraying is a last resort. If this is to be an autox/road racing application...the entire engine's cooling system should be taken into consideration, and most would choose to run a more conservative tune and turn down the boost, rather then risk grenading the engine on lap 10...

just my $.02

i'd like to see what the underside of his car looks like now. that pretty much defines "dumbshit".

[festerfm]

wasnt rocky or anything, just muddy... if anything, i woulda dug myself in the mud and just rested the belly of the car on top of the mud... was fun tho...

no need to defend yourself, we weren't reffering to you that time

Again, I said Misting, Not injection.

That's what I was referring to...didn't even get into meth inj... Which is another topic in itself

I just don't feel misting is the proper way to solve a heatsoak prob in the core.

Another application is if you go sleeper with a fat side mount, spray it from the outside, and meth inj the intake tract...but that's another topic in itself as well...

[diagnosticator]

Water misting the IC core, to PREVENT heat soaking the IC, is a valid and proven technique. As recommended by "X1Rider", see the articles at http://autospeed.com/cms/A_0527/article.html

didnt think so.... i'd hate to see what actual offroading would do to the underside of the car.... hell, isnt there plastic covering the majority of the underbelly??

[mtbrider]

The only thing it would be potentially useful for is if your waiting in line for an autocross or drag and your car is moving only a little bit at a time thus not giving any airflow to the intercooler. If you had a system like this you could use it right before your pass.
