Timed water sprayer
I recently went to a local store that sold a pivot water sprayer controller that works off of your rpm's. Unfortunately the price for this little controller the size of a turbo timer was like 200 bucks. I was curious if anyone has thought of tapping off of the built in shift light on the sti so when the light indicator goes off it would send a signal to a relay amplifying a bit and then in turn trip the water sprayer button to spray at a predetermined rpm (i.e. whatever you set the shift light at)
any thoughts?????? anyone????

hey jess, did you buy it?? i hope not, cuz i have a summit racing catalog that has em for like 100 bucks before shipping...
i def. not no scientist but i think it would be a little more beneficial to have it sprayed prior to high rpms- unless you are referring for it to prep for the next shift...
i have a weird theory(which really has no merit) but i'd like to save the ampage(sp.? right term?) just for the engine and nothing else <--not very scientific- and i know the controller probably won't draw anything anyway...

Use an adjustable pressure switch, that way, the I/C gets sprayed when needed under boost.
You'll need the switch, a relay, and a diode to prevent back feeding into the stock switch.

Just a question, because I dont really know...
I was under the assumption that automatic water spray came standard on the STi. I have a 98 and I can hit the I/C spray manually or push the auto button which gives the I/C a shot when you are peaking your boost. Can anybody clarify? Do the USDM STi's come with water spray stock?

SPO sells a kit that that you splice into the existing harness that sprays under boost...it's about $150.
As I'm running water alcohol injection, I have an adjustable pressure switch that will be used to trigger the stock I/C sprayer as well.

If you live in a cold area of the world, you might want to add a little alcohol to the tank to prevent freezing.
But performance will suffer.

they sell the JDM Auto I/C switch... replaces the USDM one. Cost's 40 bucks and is well worth it. (its like a on/off switch.
