has anyone ever made a home made water spray kit, if so, how

 

Here was my effort:

I remember seeing a Scooby on Top Gear a while ago (When I dreamed of owning one) and it was equipped with a water spray button on the steeering wheel.

Anyone own one of these beasts? What model? Must be the 22B?

 

My prodrive GRPN car runs a manual push switch on the dash and a switch on the gas peddle. The spray works when the peddle is on the floor and my service crew give me grief if the bottle isn't virtually empty at service. I use the manual switch off the start line and on the exit of slow corners.

 

I have used the headlight washer system to feed two 'water rails' which run along the front of my fmic.

The rails are 8mm copper pipe drilled with *tiny* holes....it seems to work at the expense of having zero windscreen washers

 

what sort of power gain do you get and how log do you keep the water spraying?

 

Dont know about power gain...could be 50bhp

Seriously, its really just about keeping inlet temps down during hotter weather...you would need to plug in a data logger to 'see' the difference of spray/no spray.

So maybe its about 'limiting losses' rather than aquiring 'gains' ???

Must have some benefit, just look at the difference a rainy day makes
