Thoughts on intercooler diverters and spray bars

Post by nine5raptor »

Wanted to see what you all thought about intercooler diverters and spray nozzles.

I'm not sure if I am ready to jump into Water/Meth injection yet, but I like the idea of more flow to the intercooler and evap cooling.

What do you think of these: http://www.madnessmotorworks.com/madnes ... erter.aspx

I would likely hook it to a hobbs switch to activate the sprayers over 5 psi or so and use the washer fluid for the sprayers.

Thoughts? Couldn't find much on NAM or just googling.

It should work really well for you. It is definitely a sound principle. Im about to install meth myself but I have thought out a spayer for my top mounted intercooler. My only concern for mine would be the mess. I didn't look to see how much that kit was but if it was too much id probably fab one up myself.

This unit is only $100 as compared to $350-$1000 for the injection systems. I've used a home built water injection system before with good luck on another car. Looking at them for the r56 as well.
