Default Re: How To: Automatic Intercooler Sprayer (boost referenced)

I asked Wolfplayer, thought I'd ask the whole group too...

The tubing for the gauge is 1/8 compression (jsut confirmed by walking outside and checking.) My question is as follows: I have a 3/16 by 1/8 by 1/8 T and a 3/16 tube for the T to the pressure switch. How do I connect the compression tubing to the T? Can I use compression fittings on the T? Is there something else out there that will work better? Thanks in advance!!!

This might be a very dumb question but i was intrested in finding out if there is any other replacement instead of water that might cool the intercooler just a tad more to get a little more power.....

some sort of liquid that could be poured in the factory container.....

A c02 bar will do the trick. They have them for front mounts. Im sure you can make a custom difuser with some ac lines drilled with small holes. And you can fill it up at you're local paintball store. Co2 gets freezing!!

I am halfway through doing this mod. I've wired everything up and tested it and the IC spray goes on but I can't for the life of me find a vac line to tap into for the sensor. The pic in the instructions isn't too clear. Where do I find the line?

EDIT: I know I can T off a vac line under the hood but is there an easier way? Which vac line under the hood works best? How did you guys route it through the firewall?

If you have a mechanical boost gauge then it makes sense to T off that vac line near the gauge/dash with the switch nearby (under dash). If you have electric boost gauge or none at all, then I'd say you're better off having the switch under hood near a vac line there. You can T off the bypass valve or a manifold line. sorry don't have a pic. but theres a few lurking around if you search for boost gauge install....hope this helps.

Yea all you have to do is wire the boost act swicth and use the same main power wire on both so if it is on it works on boost and if you press the stock button it still gives a pos feed to the pump they just need to share the same pos out wire but just pm me if you got ? I am trying to write this on my phone and it might not be to clear.

If I use a toggle switch, where is a good place to pull a ground under the dash?

Any metal will do. Be warned that these cars use a good deal of "spring steel" and will chew drill bits up if your not careful.

u can use any bolt on the firewall or on the dash brace but just run your wire to it and use a eyelet but I use the bolt on the top of the pedal but any bolt will work if u want to use one of the - on the wiring harness you can hook into it but any switch that is lit should have a - wire running off of it.

Default Re: How To: Automatic Intercooler Sprayer (boost referenced)

IIRC "blue" is designated by Subaru as a ground? Is it OK to tap into one of their grounds or would I be better off running it to the metal?

I am almost done with the switch, the only issue I know I am going to have is adjusting the switch itself since I don't know what pressure it comes set.

Back to the garage. Thanks again fellas!
