Watercooling your car ... more than usual

airspirit · 08-02-2002, 03:37 PM

For those of you with ghetto cars, here's an idea. Take a windshield washer pump and a ton of thin hosing and string the hosing in a pattern of your choosing in front of your radiator but behind your fan. Attach the input from your pump to a gallon bucket of water stuck wherever you like. Take a hot pin and poke a string of holes in the hosing. String wiring to an on/off toggle switch inside of your car. Next time you are climbing a grade and get hot, just flip the switch. Cold water will spray all over your radiator and you'll get massive cooling.

I've known people to do this with RV engines and keep them trucking at 75mph up the cascades and rockies without a problem. Just don't use salt water.

Haha, or if you have a turbo car unlike me, use the same method with ice-water to get minimum liquid accelerated intake temps so you can cram that last pound of boost into your poor engine without detonating it to pieces!

Or watercool yourself on a hot summer day!

or take you a/c evap and drop it into that gallon of water:P

or better yet, use NOZ, in stead of the water, in the little pipes... no I'm serious.... top fuel outlaws do it to cool down the intercoolers, and that is how they get sub 9 second 1/4milers out of a snippy little 1308cc engine..... and they can do it all season long with out an enine swop....

oh and that Grin is with PUN intended, by the way, you should see the happy face coming back after a run ...

NOZ or nitros Oxide, is what is also called giggle gas... makes you very very happy... when taken up a nostrols

Anyway...if you have cooling problems...something like may work...but there are bigger problems at hand.

Similar setups(I think may have been mentioned), are used in cooling intercoolers on turbo and supercharged cars...along with using nitrous and CO2 gas to spray...

NX Express now sells such a kit.
