FMIC fan?

[Stoffa]

Yep, I had mine working on my old setup on the FMIC, just drilled holes for the nozzles they work fine. Didn\'t bother once my engine was rebuilt as I run a G4 and it was safely tuned for my set up

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

possible his is up tp 50kg...This one is not. http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,18866.msg350552.html#msg350552..

It maybe 7-8 kg more than a FMIC No more.... Just remember ....Fitting a FMIC adds weight .... Unless you had a WAIC prior.....Then its about the same......Overall my system (soopercooler) may add around 5 kg to overall weight.

lol just read ya thread . yeah nah wont bother arguing with you again

Back to this subject of the fan......Spray will be more effective....just drips everywhere if used when stopped on a FMIC system......Noticable improvement though as mentioned.

The whole idea of a fmic is wind chill factor gets it cooler I just dont think a fan would pull 50kmh through the cooler. At 50kmh my IAT sits around 20deg as it is same as it does at 100kmh so any wind makes a diff. Sitting still it sits at outside air temp. Takes about 3min to go up a deg when sitting. Havent had the IAT over 24deg as yet but havent thrashed the pants of it for an extended period yet.

You are supposed to put pressure valves or non return valves on so the water only gets sprayed under pressure and not from simple gravity

[lachlan]

lol at non return valve. gotta hear how that one is gonna work ??

someone said they drip and make a mess and i said mine doesnt

It\'s ages since I had all gear to set mine up to be honest.

I had some setup to avoid the leakage. Maybe hoses went up initially and thus would need pump to get up. Like I said been ages. Leakage is an issue on front mount especially I understand.

Just a light spring loaded non return valve. There is one fitted on the windscreen spray too...have a look its on the tube just before it splits for the nozzles under the bonnet.

these valves will also stop the drips from a front mounted spray. the spring is enough to prevent flow due to gravity. there is also a bigger one that was fitted for headlight spray on early 1990 pre facelift 1.8GL wagons.

Had quite a big pump on the windscreen washer tank too.
