Water Spray

[TXR05]

Yeah I'll see what I can do.

I'm having problems finding a ball and spring type thing to stop the syphoning. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

I'll see if I can get a vid this arvo.

I have not been able to find a ball and spring thingy either. I do have a couple of different types of one way valve. I put one in near the tank but it does not stop siphoning. I have a different type which I will try.

The only anti siphon (syphon) valve I can find that may come close is "Sullivan anti siphon valve" Its made for RC planes. However, I can not find any information anywhere that says what size the connectors are.

Just bought 1 of these =http://www.ebay.com/itm/Boost-Pressure-Switch-For-Turbo-Water-Injection-hobbs-/330901456833?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d0b4387c1&vxp=mtr anyone have a link to a set of fine mist nozzles that dont cost an arm and a leg? Ive seen the wrx ones and I cant really say that its a fine mist...

[Cameron02]

Yep, that's the same switch that I got.

I installed a 2nd one way valve (a different type) in the line yesterday. Have not had a chance to test it yet though.

Just bought this pump hopefully it works ok. Just gotta get good nozzles still for fine mist..?

Hi Kroozin.

That looks like a mighty powerful pump. You might need to use clips to stop the lines blowing off.

Been trying to get hold of the washer check valve (anti syphon valve). Bursons etc have never heard of it. I'll keep trying.

My brother said he was using a windscreen wiper hose check valve...?

I don't know really. Ill ask him to see if he can get a part number.

I'm thinking of using these nozzles http://bit.ly/137QM8T or these

Got the temp controller installed,

Put the probe in the coldside pipe at the exit of the cooler.

NO water spray:

Ambient temp 24deg

Boosting in 1st and second gear, temp spikes from 24deg to 48 degrees

Back off and cruise, temp stays around 35-38 degrees for about a 1km. and slowly comes back to ambient around 10 minutes.

If I boost before 10 minutes, temp spikes higher than 50 degrees, and everything is getting heat soaked.

WITH water spray set to turn on at 29 degrees.:

Boost 1st , 2nd gears. Temp spikes to 38degrees, drops to 25 dgrees in about 30 seconds.

Boost again and temp only hits 38 degrees, and drops back rapidly, heat soak is no issue at all.

PROBLEM:

I was suprised how much heat soak happens after parking.

after my couple of test runs, parked for an hour, then turned on, and temp was 35 degrees. So spray pump came on and stayed on with no purpose, just dumping water.

As soon as I started to move temp dropped, but general heat soak of the complete air intake system was hard to get temp below 28 degrees. After a few km of normal driving (not boosting) temp came down to 21 degrees.

I think if the thermo fans came on for a few minutes on engine start, that would get the heat soaked air intake system down in temp quicker.?????????????????

Hey thanks for the link on the china temp. controll you posted earlier.. just wondering if you could tell me what you got exactly from jaycar to modify your temp. probe to stick it in your int. pipe?

Also how did you go with your check valve?

Here is what I'll be putting together soon. Just need a checkvalve and that bit from jaycar + piping and a tank.
