How To: Automatic Intercooler Sprayer (boost referenced) - Page 2

reid-o · 01-29-2006, 10:03 AM

I have an addition to this mod that will let the user know if the water is spraying and this can be applied to Meth injection as well.

Using the same (actually exact) type of pressure switch that Wolfplayer recommends to activate the sprayer, tee into the water line in the engine bay, putting the switch on the top of the tee. The switch will read pressure in the line, pressure is pressure, and you can use it to activate a green or red light on the dash, which can be very factory looking if you mount it correctly. I would use the switch to ground the light rather than run power to it.

The light will come on when water is actually flowing through the line, and it will also let you know if the system is clogged because the light won't shut off because the pressure won't relieve itself.

This can be applied to any meth system as well.

Why did you subscribe? Is there any specific information you are looking for? I have been using this on my car since I installed it. Works great and has been completely reliable up to now. The JDM Auto switch really makes it look like a stock-type OEM option.

Great write up Tim. I linked to this thread in the SOJDM Braille + JDM switch sale thread.

New Braille Special!!

Maybe SOJDM will start selling the JDM switch and the pressure switch as a combo w/ install instructions, or at least the URL for this thread!!

Nice writeup, definitely a must-do once spring rolls around.

Heh, I have a button next to the manual spray that allows it to become fully auto.

What about using a micro/switch. you can set it so when you go WO (somehow pedal touches the m/switch) it will start spraying. Just another idea

Stee · 03-17-2006, 03:07 PM

Are the water sprayer harnesses readily available from Subaru or is it special order? I know they aren't necessary, but it's an uber-clean install like that.

Wazazell · 03-17-2006, 04:26 PM

awesome job Nick. One question though. The JDM switch has an LED in it, I guess it lights when the switch is toggled on? Do you think there would be a way to wire it so that the LED only lights while the pressure switch is closed. That way the LED would show you when the sprayer is activated!

To buy the pressure switch just search for the user "becoool" on ebay. http://stores.ebay.com/Be-Cooling
They have an ebay store with three different switches available ". 1-4 4-15 and 15-50. They said in their testing they have gotten the 4-15 to really be 1-25psi adjustable. Ends up being $17.49 shipped.

part is on the way.

My only question is why do you still have the stock intercooler sprayer button along with the jdm one? Does this enable a manual spray if desired?
