Pickle, mine has an earth feed from the pressure switch to the switch on the dashboard, then through to the timer and eventually the motor.

ok.

I got my kit from ebay, not impressed to say the least, they come accross as being at the forefront of this technology on their website, then a garden spray system lands on your doorstep.

feedback has now been left.

anyway, I wanted to install the ic spray still but wasnt going to use all the stuff they sent as it was rank, to say the least! so ive changed a few parts for more trick items and installed it, its brilliant!

I can knock one of these kits up for anyone now, ready to be put in for £50 delivered. if you want one? im not making these in mass production or anything, so if you want one let me know and ile make you one to the same spec as mine. (you can have as many jets as you want as well. (although id suggest three is plenty for the scoob)

I have pics of mine fitted if you want a look?

ive uprated the pump, switching system, and spray nozzles, along with timing set up.

not much left from the original kit i bought for £65 from ebay just the design really.

theres works, but mine works really well!

aswel as a boost / throttle switch which is only any use in sustained hard driving, you want a manual push button switch that will spay for 5 / 10 secs. use this idealally off boost just before an overtake or boot down. an intercooler is a heat exchange and waiting until boost (and temp) have rose enough to trigger the spray its too late, giving the i/c extra cooling abilities at the same time giving it extra heat will have a canceling out effect to some degree to the i/c core. its the core temp which cools the initial boost so you have to pre cool the i/c so its core is colder when plant your foot. only on prolonged boost will a boost activated switch be of any real use.

So set it to squirt at earlier boost? Ok, so you use more water!

Got the K2579 timer kit, elec guy building it but says it only works by press button on / off? 1 button starts, 1 button to switch off.

How would this wire up to a pressure switch and give a 5 second spray ? Would the pressure switch wire to the press buttons on the PCB? Or can it be left turned on, triggered by theswitch and deliver a set time of spray?

Cheers

after reading up on ic sprays a while ago (wanted to know how to use mine properly) the correct way seems do be to cool it down before boost for any effect, i.e before a sprint, so it's as cool as it can be, so instead of being boost related, why not change the boost sensor for a intercooler mounted temp sensor, so when it gets to a preset temp, it then sprays? also I think that addiing methnol or somthing similar helps reduce temps far more than water alone, just my 2p, correct me if i'm wrong

On the note of D.I.Y sprays, his my attempt!, needs a whole lot more pressure though, so if anyone could suggest anything??

Also wondered has anyone fitted a N20, or CRY02 IC spray for the ultimate system???
