Anyone have any good secrets for using the push button water spray. I use ice in races.

I moved this over to the tech forum.
I have added ice to the bottle once or twice also. I noticed no difference between icy water and just ambient temp water though.

no secrets, bt I just hold mine for like 1-2 seconds, forjust a small spray/mist. I noticed that when you spray alot it just runs off anyway, save it for later. I have put it on auto and did some aggresive driving. When I came back to fill it it was down about 1/4.

I found the ULTIMATE formula
use 60% alcohol and 40% distilled water. The more volatile the susbtance the faster it cools. Ever feel rubbing alcohol on your finger compared to water?
try it its g-tech proven so far. lets see if we can dyno some inter cooler techniques.

um g-tech has yet to prove itself to me, I owned one about 6 or more years ago and it worked fine for the first month... after that i'd do better with a stopwatch in hand.

Thats why mitsu uses windshield washer fluid for the ic sprayer, its about a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water (with detergents) the alcohol will cool more than straight water..

Alcohol works bro. Obviously you never had chemistry. The more volatile the substance the better it cools. When mixed with water it does not evaporate as ez.
I dont want any negative comments about how using the spray doesn't work. It has already been proven that lowering intercooler temps increase hp. I am looking for new ways to lower my i/c temps. I am sick of forum *****es who do not stay on subject. Only people who are interested in there intercooler please post.

To you it is small fry hp. The intercooler is what causes the dif in stock evos. You agree there is a gain in hp. So shut up and help us out.
This forum is full of haters and Evo drivers with big egos. Can we get someone who accually races to speak on the subject.
P.S. This is my first import. My last car was a monster mustang. I am not some ricer, I come from a muscle car backgroung. Like a true racer, I believe everything makes a differece.
