Okay so im bored and thought of a diy water spray kit that doesnt need water pumps.

Basically you use the pressure from the cold side to pressurise a small container that holds water.

Once boost is hit (17psi) a 1 way valve(to stop water getting sucked into the system) set to 14psi opens up to pressurise the container fromt the top where it is pushed through a hose at the bottom and to another 1 way valve then into sprayers.

Ive made a a shitty paint diagram just to show you what i mean.

im pretty sure my theory is correct but if anyone has any input on this setup then feel free to share.

Cheers, Chris

Some inovative thinking here and if 15 psi (or thereabouts) was sufficient, I don't see why you couldn't use boost pressure to fill an accumulator with pressurised air which in turn would pressurise a water resevoir feeding sprays.

The trouble is that for really fine mists, which gives the best cooling efficiency, you want pressures at an order of magnitude higher than this (i.e. ~150 psi).

I really admire people like you, you sit and think of things which arent done yet; it sounds great in theory but true that there probably aint enough air displaced to pressurise a container that would hold enough water; a syringe maybe

Again a nice idea which is how people invent new products, keep using that brain of yours.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Yeah those were the first two things I was thinking that would possibly go wrong.Anyways thanks for everyones input it's times like these I appreciate sites like this and users who aren't here to just down people and their ideas.

Cheers, Chris

Should work but i think you have the 1 way valves around the wrong way IMO

your setup currently

1. air wont pressurise the water till 14+psi. i dont see an issue here.

2. one way vale to stop water flowing out?? wouldn't this also stop water flowing out even when the presser is over 14psi??

i would use 2 pressure valves or at least 1 after the water tank before the sprayers

but something much easier is to use a 12v water pump

The other thing is, spraying the core while on boost isnt really going to net you anything.

The core needs to be cold before hand so it can obsorb more heat. Theres a big IC sprayer article floating around where a guy did temperature testing with them. Basically you need to be on full boost for a hell of a long time for there to be any real raise in intake temps.

Im guessing thats why Auto sprayers on EVO's etc spray under brakes.. so the core cools down more for the NEXT time you nail it :D Not cool-as-you-go

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
