  1. i have stock water sprayer re located to apexi fmic . def makes a difference . u know how yyour car feels like it kinda cant be bothered on a real hot day and feels real chrisp and lots of pull when its 0 outside . i recon it feels about 40-50% of that difference .

    the hose is miles long enough as it is just chase it back .

    my squirters are held on the bumper with little > shaped clips . almost look professionally made

  2. refering to supercooler was the big thread from overseas . in the supercooler thread ?

    is that what you are on about ? .

    his holds 5 gallons in the tank . thats 20 kg . plus the tank , pump . water in the lines . water in the cooler . water in the front heat exchanger . the front exchanger itself . bet if all that carp was on the scaled and you add 30 litres of water you not going to get much change from 50 kg

  3. lol i really love how everyone pull sout the old "water has 14 times the heat transfer of air" . lol but noone ever mentions the 5 stages of heat transfer and the fact they are all very in effiecint due to minimal temp difference across them all

    need some pop corn for this thread now .

    the supercooler isnt up to fuck all anyway . if he achieved any less with a milion dollars of supplies and WMI then itd be laughable .

    hed prolly get similar results with the tmic with WMI and saved himself 4 figures of pipes and fittings and 50 kg

  4. fans on some top mounts make a difference but they are really only fixing a problem that shoudltn exist

    there is no way to get one on a subaru . but on a gtt caldina that are def worth doing

    spraying cool water on a warm top mount will do something bout i doubt youd notice from the seat of your pants . if you logged the temps yes it would cool the core down faster .

    fuck you lot needa get a life

    fan on a front mount = fail . it is surrounded by ambient temp air . adding MORE ambient temp air isnt going to achieve anything is it ?

  5. oh well i asked him for a "what would this cost joe blow at a panels shop" not a "what will you fix this for" price

    go see the boys at doug smith . should sort you out .

    they do all armstrongs stuff etc .

  6. it says how much you need to run it which is what they ask

    when you drive ambient air blows accross the intercooler to cool it down to ambient temp

    when you are strationary idling your engine is ingesting ambient air that is also flowing through the intercooler.

    you intercooler actually doesnt shed any heat untill your heated charge air(boost) warms it up and creates a temp difference between the inside and the outside

  7. no . would not achieve anything

    the airflow through it before you stopped and the charge air through it as the engine idles are cooling it down . the intercooler doesnt get warm untill you start boosting

    not needed .

    only time you would want one is a tmic with the engine idling

    caldinas benefit from this

  8. yeah ive got an avcr

    i had them plugged in but not plumbed in .

    ive just left the map plugged in but not plumbed . replaced the boost solenoid (20 ohm) and the brown solenoid(42 ohm) with resistors from jay car . no engine light . i took out that whole bracket and bs too

    car runs mint . afrs are happy and plenty of injector action

    yeah was more wondering what the brown thing actually achieved

  9. its pretty obvious what the map sensor does . but what /y is there the little 3 port solenoid plumbed in with it aswell .

    i have had both not plumbed to anything for a while and car is going good .

    ive searched the net but there isnt really much info on them . well not the whys and hows

    ive seen people put a t and a one way valve in the line as a primitive boost cut defender but allows it to still see vacuum

  10. yeah i know bout the evap but he isnt evaportaing anything .?

    and hes not going to carry 5 gallons of water for the cooler and a another bucket load to spray on it . or did i not read it properly

    even jetboats with unlimited river water cooled intercoolers struggle to get below ambient temp the falling efficiency of temp exchange

    dunno . i am pretty tired from newyears mission . and i do think my HDI core was below ambient temp some days

    fk me the thread is 35 pages long . anyone read it ?
