if you have headlight washers like on the rb5, you could always convert them to an intercooler spray.

Im just about to build a circuit to spray the intercooler every 30sec. ( time can be configured as needed). Its activated by a switch and is easier than trying to patch into an injector or boost signal to trigger a water spray which I think is how some of the auto systems work.

Can share the circuit if anyone's interested ??

Its not as easy as it seems, you cannot use the headlight washers unless you rip that system apart as that uses your windscreen reservoir (so it's illegal if you run out), and the jdm cars have an independent reservoir for the water, plus on a jdm it's controlled by the ecu which takes several factors into account and not just boost or time (though you can buy an ecu that will be independent and do the job bit it's probably not as efficient as the standard ecu, and no, you can't use one of those )
It's a pita job, you would require the full system out of a jdm, you would have to put the tank in the boot as jdm classics with this fitted have theirs where the abs pump goes (hence they don't have abs), and it could just be more hassle than it's worth, plus use the search function as you may well find people who havesone the same before.
