soooooo i have this idea, and ya'll are probably going to laugh and ridicule me, but im just being curious, so my idea is to use my washer fluid tank and pump and run a line into the intake tubing thats between the turbo and air filter and spray it in their, that way the turbo will turn the washerfluid into a mist and force it into the engine, so what do you guys think, would this ruin my turbo? does it sound plausable? why and why not, im not looking for any huge gains in hp if any, just thought it might help cool egts if they get to hot. thanks, and yes im a redneck.

I believe the water droplets will hurt the turbo because of the extreme speed... I think this has been discussed before

 

i'm not sure bout running a hose straight to the intake tube, sounds scary. I know the guys running pulling tractors use the same setup only the put nozzles on the tube or hose before the turbo. Not 4 sure on the type of nozzle, something similar to a nitrous nozzle, something that atomizes the spray really well.

 

sorry, but you will spend alot more fixing your truck after try that, than a snow w/m kit will cost

 

Or the coolingmist from the DTR store. Stage one is $345 I beleive

 

ahh chucks i figured i'd give it a thought, but it sounds more like its going to ruin stuff, thanks for the input.

Heck, I just sent a PM to a member here showing him how to build a w/m system with parts from Northern Tool and Mcmaster-Carr.

Cost was <$200.

 

Hey send me a PM too I'd like to see it .

 

There are pics somewhere with this setup. Worked pretty good...but erosion of the turbo blades were noticeable after time......ill see if i can find the thread and link it.....

 

HOHN, can you please send me that same PM? Have you built the same system too?
Thanks !

 

Me tooo.......

 

Hohn Could I bother you for thatplan as well? Thanks Brent

Its called mr freeze , i have one of these , it uses boost pressure to pump the water into the turbo through a misting nozzel , they sell them for S/C and T/C mustangs i couldnt c nothing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ANDER...QQcmdZViewItem

 

That wasnt the one i have seen...but interesting...im guessing they are using boost pressure to shoot the water out a nozzle that is at the turbo inlet.....very simple. I still havent found the one i was thinking of......
