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

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
