dalts Member 755 Member For: 18y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 13/12/10 05:02 AM Share Posted 13/12/10 05:02 AM Dalts had the nozzles for free back in Jan as his post suggests. They are premo nozzles but think you would need a decent pump to atomise the water through them as the pump that comes with the water/meth kit is 4.5lt/min at 220psi.Better off buying this kit like I did while the dollar is still good-My linkRay076 and I got ours for Aus $360 delivered each as we offered US$270 each for them so try even lower I suppose!I agree to get decent intake temp drop that kit is the way to go!!I got the stage 2 back when the dollar was crap!!cost around $700 still good value in my books.cheers lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 08/02/11 01:19 PM Share Posted 08/02/11 01:19 PM Couple of notes on some of these comments.... 1/ evaporative cooling relies on air movement to create temperature drop, and 2/ every degree cooler is 3 horsepower gained.... add up a 10 degree variation and it's substantial - same as driving your T on a cold winters night vs 1pm on a summers day.Worthwhile project when done the right way. Great info guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also mounted and wired up my lil control pannel I made to fit in the dash .. its alloy and iv machined ingraving into it , has a big XR6T and then " water intercooler sprey" in it .. plus "ARM " and 'ON" .. runs 2 switch's and 2 lights .. one switch will turn it on and off .. and the other will only turn the pump on when its in boost . im running a boost pressure switch's I got from ebay .. all in all should work well .just waiting to get a inline fuse and RELAY plus work out my water lines .. few pics ...

Only thing I had to make that I forgot to buy from the kit was the alloy bung for the nozzles- http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=52I have made brackets up for my bottle to mount on the passenger just behind the light with my rapids IC kit so I will take pics once I finish it, if ever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
