Can some send me a picture of where the bottle is located please

 

Mines on the same bottle as the screen wash, my button is the head light washer jets, on a 1999 uk2000

 

Which year car ??

 

Normally either in the boot or where the ABS sits.

 

04 plate

 

Boot then.

 

This is where it is on my 2007.

 

Same on my 03 blob sti

 

same on bug eye

 

Thanks everyone

 

When filling i would advice against using tap water as over timne this will scale everything up. I use de-ironised water. Also in the winter only half fill the bottle to allow for the water freezing.

 

If you didn't have one would u fit one

 

Probably not. I have not seen any evidence of its real effectiveness. If it were proved to me that it was effective i would fit one, if i didn't already have it. But i would go the spec C route and have it automatic with big tank.

 

the problem with the OM sytem is the spray nozzle only puts water in a small area at the front of the intercooler around the outlet to throttlebody, so there is very little residual effect once the spraying stops.
Much better to have a system with more than one nozzle were the whole intercooler is effected and benifits from wet plates/ improved heat exchange even when the spraying stops.

I retro fitted a Spec C tank and all the gubbins into my Classic.

I have an intake temp gauge and if I use the spray it cools the intercooler down much faster than it does with no spray.

 

How can you tell mate, do you have a temp sender fitted to the ic ?

 

I would imagine he has a sensor near the throttle body, the effect of the spray would be greatest early run when the car had been stood which is what it is designed for.
Reducing temps at full chat with resulting increase in power is unlikely me thinks.

Anybody have probs with ic spray in newage syphoning out when parked down hill ??

 

I had a boss welded to the underside of the intercooler so the sensor is in the flow of air into the throttle body.

The effect is much more noticeable as you say after it's been stood from hot. The temps come down much, much quicker even when driving slowly as you would when leaving a car park.

You still need air flowing through the intercooler to get the full effect but it was a worthwhile mod. Coupled with a larger New Age STi top mount.
