Lol..

I saw blokes with water bottles which were 50/50 water and metho spraying their crossovers at willowbank one day.. We're adamant it got em 0.2 off the ET..

Dude you're gonna do a burnout.. Any heat soak in the crossover will happen when staging..

Well, I'm still having the syphoning issue. I fitted one of these http://www.ebay.com....=item43ba34f32f

It slows down the syphoning a bit but does not stop it. Takes about 4 hours now to empty my 4 litre tank. Before installing this valve it took about 30 mins.

Looks like I may have to investigate installing a solenoid.

Hi Kroozin,

Yeah mate it sucks the big one. At least when it gets sorted the thread should help people who run into the same issues.

1. 4 litre washer tank with built in washer pump (VDO) in the boot.

2. One way valve about 10cm from the tank (4mm tubing)

3. Tubing runs under the car with the fuel lines.

4. The new spring loaded valve in the engine bay about 60cm from the sprayers

5. 2 plastic garden mist sprayers (half circle). One for the top half of the intercooler and one for the bottom

Before installing the new valve the water would start syphoning out as soon as I filled the tank.

Since installing the new valve the water does not start syphoning out immediately. However once the pump has been activated it begins syphoning and empty's the tank.

I think I will need to install a solenoid like this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121108003351?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I assume I can get fittings to suit the 4mm tubing.

Water spraying the cooler is half arsed. If you going to do it....http://www.snowperformance.net/stage-2-maf-boost-cooler.html

Full boost with the smaller 375ml jet, no quench, 19*intake temps and over 5 degrees of extra timing. You can run the smaller jet with not have to increase timing at all.

Ive since stopped using it since I went to E85 but one day might see if there are any advantages or running both. I doubt there will be and will more than likely go back to a small jet just to keep the intake temps as low as possible.

Your right but I thought I'd give this ago anyway. It cost me a fraction over 100bux and it works quite well.

Obviously I haven't needed to retune since the new edition either.

I have fitted this just assist in keeping iat's down (which it does) yet not run into any dramas should I run out of water since it has not been tuned with it.

A meth kit would be pretty cool but so would a 0.7 front comp cover or other bits and pieces when looking at $$$ vs gains. The water spray isn't exactly the right answer but its def. not the wrong answer either.
