Im driving a 4AGZE with stock top mount IC. Stock IC tends to heat up very fast and instead of changing it to FMIC (which will cost me 400-500 for piping only), i want to find another way to cool my IC. So I have this idea of using my wiper motor to spray my IC when i go drag.

Anyone have any idea on how i should do this? Thanks
 
bro if u change the side of the wiper spray to inside part and pull the hose longer a bit to above ur intercooler ???????????????????
just my 2 cents
 
good idea but i still need my outside wiper..
i have an extra motor for the spray in my engine, tats why i thought of using that.
 
i did for my car, it cools down the intercooler alot! go find some borken evo 3 bumper and get the water spray, evo 3 got 2, evo 1 and 2 only got 1 spray, buy any wiper tank with motor, and just connect it, but make sure u have a switch for it, and its better to have the on/off type rather then button. because on highway i just turn it on and boost all the way, power, amazing! u really can feel lots of diff!
 
of course it can be done on FMIC... thought of doing that also... already have the evo 3 i/c spray... need to find time to fix it onto my bumper... :banghead:
 
i using windshield water pump to cool down my radiator... wanna act like intercooler... hehe... but, useless la... hehhee...:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sure..there's a different....that's why evo come with intercooler w/spray...EVO7-9 even got 3 nozzles.
 
Now i know Evo 7-9 got three spray nozzle... thanks for sharing the info...
 
9 nozzles? wah... tat IC must cost a lot. im trying mod by using 3 pieces cooling fan (from PC accessories) with rpm of 5000 each. totalling 15000 rpm. see if that helps or not
 
EVO 3 wiper tank comes with 2 pumps. 1 for front and 1 for the rear. The one for the front have 2 nozzle. 1 for the windscreen and 1 for the IC.

Try to find a way to fit into the tank. I dunno if it's possible. Just an idea.
 
aside from a bit of mess, would it be better performance to substitute the water with some kinda oil/coolant?
