I posted this on "The other board", but I know there are a few who frequent this board and not the other, and would like to get everyone's opionion.
1st a little history: There was a pretty good thread going on the other board about misting the intercooler with water to up the efficiency. Pretty much from everyone's experience, we found that misting the intercooler will yeild about 30hp/.3 sec (of course exact results will be different depending mostly on outside temp and humidity).
OK, first: Anyone here running a misting system? I know a lot of DSM owners are with good results. I am thinking about running a system with a spraybar type setup. I plan on using the washer fluid tank to hold the water, finding some kind of intank pump to run it, and a check valve to keep the pump from siphoning all the water out. The only thing I am worried about is getting the pressure high enough and the spray pattern fine enough to completely evaporate the water as soon as it hits the intercooler. Any thoughts on this? I'm trying to cheaply get the stock intercooler close or past the performance of a good stock location upgrade intercooler.
