Markus5000 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Thinking if doing this to my mapped 330d with standard intercooler. Anyone done it?. Any noticeable gains? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasa Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 they run so efficiently,,only if going silly power with a hybrid turbo and 535d injectors would any extra cooling be needed..same goes for induction (cais) Markus5000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus5000 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Pretty sure I felt it after a couple of hard pulls during that uber warm period we had. Still seems like a tiny intercooler lol. One I had on my s14a was huuuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasa Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 never had a problem in hot weather car has nearly 270 bhp with 420ftlbs...only other mod is egr delete.serviced every 10k miles with fuel filter also. Markus5000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I agree - mine seemed to suffer from heatsoak in the hotter weather, or after a few pulls on dual carriageway. Quite noticeable somewhere like Milton Keynes with a lot of low speed acceleration. My old 184bhp version suffered too - esp. in the Alps. I can remember it was pretty dead by the end of the Stelvio Pass (as were the brakes!). I think finding space to mount them would be the biggest problem - it's likely going to be easier to use some fan-style windscreen washers as they're a lot smaller and don't need the same pressure.

Glad I'm not the only one to notice lol. Fan style. Not come across them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Maybe the wrong word. Like the e46 ones where it's a big spread of water and not just one or two streams Markus5000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMJ Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 if you really want to see the benefits of throwing water into the mix for some performance benefits, look at water/meth injection... excellent value for money and great for performance/engine health.

sneeker Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Peugeot 307 washer jets are the mist type, and dont have much lift for the jets. Ran a set on my old 306 dturbo as intercooler sprays and it did make a differance with the top mounted intercooler on them. Was running 20psi though instead of the stock 15psi.
