Just wondering,does anyone know the ingrediants to make my own water spray ,wouldnt it be cheaper to buy all the separate bits and do it meself, instead of buying a pre made one as they are an arm ,and a leg. does anyone have any info re making me own ,thanx

Search on here for things like Water spray, Intercooler water spray etc. and you will find loads of items, both bought kits and how to do your own

Here you go!

Firstly the dashborad switches:

Graham Goode CLICK HERE (http://www.grahamgoode.com/cgi-bin/page.pl?car=subaru&page=engparts1.htm)

GGS256 Intercooler spray switch (automatic) £25.52
GGS257 Intercooler spray switch (manual) £21.70
You’ll need both!

Then the pressure switch:

RS components I’ve use this one but there are loads to choose from. CLICK HERE (http://www.rswww.com/cgi-bin/bv/browse/Module.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1971232300.1060080990@ @@@&BV_EngineID=ccccadcimldgghicfngcfkmdgkldfhm.0&cacheID=uknetscape&3237533816=3237533816&stockNo=3987039&prmstocknum=3987039&prodoid=352829)

G 1/4 Type 0166 Pressure Switch (0.1 -1.0 bar) £13.14

Then the timer switch:

Forget the Graham Goode original timer, very expensive and no wiring diagram try this instead.
Vehicle Wiring products CLICK HERE (http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/VWPweb2000/relays/relays.html)
at the bottom of the page
Interior light timer. Leaves the interior light on for 10 seconds after the door has closed. And can also keep your intercooler spray pumping for 10 seconds. Ref:GLR1. £6.07

Also Spray nozzels

Graham Goode CLICK HERE (http:// http://www.grahamgoode.com/cgi-bin/page.pl?car=subaru&page=engparts1.htm)
GGS882 Single water spray nozzle £11.49
or from Homebase, buy the micro irigation spray nozzles for a few quid.

Then the other bits:
1) 5 amp cable, ideally 3 diffrent colours for easy wiring.
2) Connectors to fit the dashboard switches, plugs don’t seam to be available unless you buy a whole wiring loom - no luck on the Niles website either (they make the switches)
3) Heat shrink - you’ll need this to cover the connectors on the dashboard switches as the connctors are very close.
4) Vacuum pipe from the maifold to the pressure switch
5) Water bottle and pump - can’t help you here - got mine from girlfriends a Nissan Micra!
6) Bracket to mount the pressure switch - fabricate yourself.
7) Windscreen WasherTubing - halfords, not sure of price

And most important:
Wiring diagram for the switches and circuit.

Do the GGR people use excatly the same kit thats comes in an STI with the water spray as standard

GREAT THREAD thanks for the switch pin diagram mines workin fine :)

I have a water spray bottle and pump from a MY97 Type-r lying about in the garage £15.

dam just bought a kit off 99 type r

i made mine from:

STi bottle and pump - ebay £22.00
manual switch - ggr
nozzles - scoobymania
misc bits and piping - halfrauds.

(auto triggers from ecu @ 75% throttle)

You can do it really cheaply by diverting the headlamp wash tube to the i/c instead. Use Micro misters from the garden centre for about £5 as spray jets.

Makes feck all difference on the move though but it may reduce temps at idle!

F

do it properly i did mine like madras s if you have the doh! i that is the best water spray thread every thing works sweet with the exact same components that he has used .the wring diag is super info

ive got 2 sets of micro irrigation nozzels

set of 2 plus 3mtr of 4mm pipe £4.00 posted. each

I've got a UK STi with a manual system which has a manual switch already. Does that mean I only need to buy the auto switch? In other words is the manual switch in a manual system the same as the manual switch in an auto system?
