IC sprayer
Has anyone ever re-routed the rear windsheild washer to the IC and made a sprayer? Is this the same pump the front is connected to? Also, does anyone know if there would be a way to maybe re-route the headlamp washers to an IC sprayer? Any information on the pump would be great!

the rear sprayer is a different pump. not worth the hassel to re-route.
just buy a spare pump and sprayer from older Miatas (i think) and wire it up to a seperate switch. or hook up some Co2 from paintball and use that....

Just buy a bigger intercooler. May be pricy, but in the long run, its a better option

Or you could do a crude water injection system for about the same amount of money.

Doesn't the pump depend on what year the car is as my viggen has one pump which works in reverse when you want to spray the rear wind shield?
Like stated, get a bigger IC; don't waste your time on an IC sprayer unless you get a high pressure pump, even then you will see minimal gains. Don't waste your money on a co2 one as well, and if ya want WI, spend the money on a snow/aquamist, etc and have your ecu mapped to it. |

If you're really intent on doing this, here's how I did it once upon a time: http://griffingear.helixgfx.com/ggtip_icmist.htm
I saw intake temperatures that were maybe three degrees lower with spray than without. And that was only when drenching the IC pretty well before the run. I pulled that homemade system out, bought a bigger IC, and haven't looked back. That's where your time and money will be best spent. Also, Ims is correct. The rear sprayer uses the same pump as the front sprayers; it just spins in reverse to route the washer fluid through a different nozzle.

I hear your money is still better-spent on a larger IC.

it took me 2 seconds to move the otherwise useless headlight sprayers to the lip in front of the IC. I saw minor but positive results when using a method outlined in an autospeed article. spray before you do a pull as water is a better heat absorber than metal. no replacement for a good IC of course.

I tried this and even used methonal and tested it on the dyno with 0 results on the dyno, lost the same amount of hp per pull, about 7whp each run with or without water or methonal. I gave up on that idea and that is when I sprayed the w/m straight into my intake
![]() That showed a 39wtrq gain with no sw changes ![]() John

I think it's pretty important to have the water going on the IC to be a mist, not just a dribbly stream.
Think of the way it dissapates heat...

^^^ What he said^^^ You want the water to be a very fine mist (high pressure pump is needed) so by the time the water goes through the IC it is evaporating. If you soak it to much all you end up with is a warm IC with more water warm water all over it.
