Default TMIC I/C Waterspray Set Up Options

Firstly the Liberty's dont come with a water spray set up for the tmic i/c.

As summer is approaching I am planning a mod to help reduce the heat soak issues with my TMIC. I want something that offers me control of the spray cycle and ideally will not need to filled up if I run it for 2-3 mins straight.

I am considering buying the Cusco Controller and a JDm Spec C 12 ltr tank.

Anyone here done something similar or perhaps better?

I am not looking for any backyard bunnings spec diy options so dont bother posting those sorts of suggestions.

Then you've answered you're own question

Or try fit up one from an STI. Try the usual contacts for parts.

Cusco sprayer is a very neat piece of gear.

Call it backyard, but a hobbs switch with a pump on the windscreen washer worked very well on my old car.

the Libs dont even give you a spot to put a hobbs switch in the dash plus I want to control and vary the cycle duration.

Just add the A/C pipe work to pass through the intercooler :-) or look at the forcast and if it's going to be hot the next day freeze your intercooler the night before or ........[insert some other useless bullshit here]
Maybe you could carry around an esky with dry ice in it and ask the guy you are going to have a run with to just wait while you put some dry ice on the cooler

Dave - would not waste my time with an IC water spray set up for the street - marginal IMHO. Regular tracking is another matter. Having said that 2.5 v 2.0 helps a little!

I did the "boong-spec" hobs switch (well I didnt actually do it, Sean did) but it seems to do the job

Bruce at the minimum the Lib is going to see runs at the drags and some abuse at MV10 in the middle of January hopefully. I also am planning bigger turbo upgrade so you get the picture.
