Propped hood. Worried about airflow here in the sweltering eden of Central Texas, I thought that this couldn't hurt. 4" bolts, and 12 washers per side (6 on each bolt) got me this. Mabye a tad too big?

Boost gauge. Funny story...Went into Advanced Auto to get this. Guy asks "What kind of car drive?" I say "Nissan." He tells me all about the great color changing features of the Faze boost gauge. I blankly look at him and tell him that "I don't need ricer crap." He hands me Autometer black face gauge and smiles.



SMIC sprayer. Thought I'd give it a try. Works WELL. IC is now MUCH cooler to the touch after hard run. Cold pipe used to get HOT, now it dosen't!

Supplies:On/Off Valves:180 deg. Sprayer:Just routed orange sprayer on 1/4 inch hose from the On/Off switches , under the cold pipe. I have the stock intake ducting on my SMIC, so I drilled a hole in the duct and have the sprayer spray right into the IC, getting good atomization. IC is now cool and moist to the touch. Cost me $5.

Nice. I like the homemade IC sprayer. What are you using for the resivoir and pump, the windshield sprayer?

Airflow is my excuse to my friends at why I don't have A/C (which is ture, but they give me funny looks). The IC sprayer runs off of the squirter pump. My intermittent wipers don't work, so I just switch over the valves and pull...Bang. IC sprayer. For you guys w/o ghetto cars, you need to unplug the wipers or you will have them going crazy.

Yep. Ala Dave Coleman. I got all the stuff at Home Depot in the fringe of the plumbing section. I asked for "garden sprayers" and got a blank look. I was about to give up and go home when my roomie found all the stuff in a group, low on a shelf.
