Well 90CRX you have the same problem I do. Otherwise I would have done this to mine own car months ago (like I already said). In that case just go for the sprayer kit.

Yes you use the fluid that's in the windshield washer tank. Whether you use the washer fluid or straight water is up to you (if you use the washer fluid, then your car will smell kinda funny, but it is completely safe).

The EVO VIII and IX both use sprayers. So does the STI. I don't know if they made it to the surrent models, but they were available. They do work, but not the best in the world. Once the water evaporates/vaporizes the intercooler starts heating up again.

The reason you only see sprayers on turbo cars is beacuse when you cool the intercooler, you get an immediate power gain. You won't get that on an N/A car. Unless you spray the intake manifold, which might help power.

Congrats on the injectors. Now give us some more performnace numbers

O yea the camera will be with me with a 1gig memory card and 2 batterys. videos and pics for sure.

Well I'm thinking I might change my turbo set up. I havent been happy with the fitment or the look of the manifold so I think I'm going to change it up a bit. This is what I had in mind.

Turbo Project 14b (Mini-Me)

HF manifold with a HF to TD05 adapter plate. It will pull the turbo closer to the block and as you can see in the pic the stock radator will clear it. I have the maniflod sitting in my garage and the flanges and adapters will cost around $50.

What do yall think?

Have fun with that. You will have lower engine temps after I bet.

90crxowner · 08-06-2008, 09:36 PM

yea that and I'm going to heat wrap the manifold, turbo and downpipe. That tubular manifold I have on there now has burned me 3 times and I'm geting really tired of it.

**PrimeTimeV6** · 08-06-2008, 09:50 PM

I can understand that.

**dre5491** · 08-06-2008, 10:18 PM

I'd say its deff worth it that way you got cooler temps again.

**splink48** · 08-07-2008, 09:26 AM

I'd go for it.....especially for the price.

90crxowner · 08-07-2008, 04:55 PM

I'm going to I think. Got to see if the guy that owns the blown motor will let me have the manifold.
