Impreza WRX STi intercooler "booster"?

[motorhead]

ya but this ass is damn nice looking eh

Theres nothing lazy about having the spray actuated automatically. It would be ideal to have it work when boost reaches a certain level. It means that you could run a higher boost than normal without having to worry about excess heat.

good point crisis, but what about when your spray runs out of water on a long drive?

I'd assume that it's circulating through some form of steam condensing unit. Otherwise this would definately be a problem. Of course, there's no reason why you would use it on a long drive, only while accelerating.

in action on the weekend at a gymkhana avent

it was driven by a novice driver and still got a top 3 time.

Nog, I meant something like a trackday, sort of thing, where there is constant increase/decrease of boost. But the steam condenser is a good idea-I'm gonna check this all out and see how it does work.

Imagine that car with a couple of NOS kits in it. That with that spray is a recipe for a very fast car

fkn who cares if the water spray goes off automatically??? your still crunching through the gears, burning rubber.... you still got control over the car and having the whole car expierence... and i think that its grouse that the water spary goes off when a certain amount of temp is reached.. how the hell are YOU supposed to know when the temp is to high?

A new technology today uses a CO2 spray. As the compress CO2 is decompressed and sprayed at the intercooler, it provides much better cooling then a water spray. Yes, the CO2 supply is limited, but it is only used during hard acceleration.
