Hey, I have been reading about N20 Intercooler sprays and WRX's are getting great responses from it with practically no heat soak on the tmic.
I was wondering if this would be good for the 3SGTE TMIC and would it be even better with also a water spray....even though with N20 the water probably would just freeze up. Furthermore, I read that the N20 lasts a while since it freezes. I also heard about CO2 but I think N20 is probably more efficient, plus NOS is readily available at shops and refilling would not be a big problem |

I think this is a great idea... especially if you plan on high boost levels... N2O might be a little overkill if you're only boosting around 14 lbs... and water should suffice... But if you plan on going up and beyond 18, I think this is great. Just keep in mind that our FWD setups can only handle so much power... so with that in mind... water would be a more suitable choice... |

Well what I was thinking was that water would suffice; HOWEVER, when we are in traffic or at a traffic light and its REALLY HOT....THEN N2O would help out at those times.
Now I was also thinking of adding the water for just the normal times and at races. |

How's it going to help more in traffic? It's not like you're gonna be boosting unless you plan on constantly revving in traffic... lol  I understand what you're thinking... but just because you're not moving doesn't mean your IC won't get sufficient cooling... it won't get that hot to begin with unless you're boosting... I hope that makes sense...

This is the first I have heard of a Intercooler Spray. Would someone explain a bit for me?

Simple... nozzles that spray water on IC to keep it cool... some are designed to spray inside IC.... Make sense? |

Thanks Kuya
I was under the impression when the 3SGTE is at idle the intercooler is under heat soak. I read that in this forum so....I was getting a little confused with what you were saying. |

Yes... See... I'm fortunate by having a WRC version of the 3S-GTE... mine already comes with the IC sprayers... but since I have a A/W IC, the water sprayers don't spray on the IC... but on the heat exchange in the front of the car. The heat exchange is a huge IC looking thinga-ma-jigger. It would've been nice if Toyota made this standard for all the ST205's... but unfortunately, they didn't.

When ppl refer to heat soak on the top mount intercoolers it's usually more from the engine heat not the compressed air (duh).
Kuya are you running top or front, and do you notice engine heat soak if it's a top mount? - (Because even my engine bay gets damned hot and I am N/A all the way). This post has been edited by kamixZR: Oct 31, 2003 - 10:11 PM |

Idea that popped into my head awhile back but hasnt substantiated. My washer nozzles on the hood are being removed and shaved, so im thinking of putting them underneath the hood to spray onto the IC. Of course it wouldnt be washer fluid it'd be water but still, I think it'd be a good idea except im afraid of water getting into the filter.

I'm running the factory A/W TMIC... but I don't know what it's like yet... stupid shop is taking forever with my motor swap... Once the motor swap, body work, and interior gets completed (which is being done at 3 different locations), I'll let you know... |

i have a fmic and heat soak is not a problem at all... i also have an nx sprayer and use co2 (its so much cheaper than n20!!!) and does the same thing. i havent notice much of a gain for it.. my boosted honda buddies have the DEI sprayer and they say that it starts to lean there a/f out... a small wet shot could be just as helpful depending on what your building your setup for.
ps. the sprayer is worthless unless your moving. the holes are on top and bottom of the ring so your ic core isnt getting anything on it unless you drive into it so of speak.. This post has been edited by zipstrips: Nov 8, 2003 - 1:12 AM |
