Hey '79, don't apologise, this is an international forum. We just use english because most of us English speakers can't speak any other language. Plus your English is pretty good.

So, what language do you speak in Iceland? I assume it is a version of a Scandanavian language.

well I wouldn't call it green but the wheather and the landscape is pretty similar to scotland, and we speak Icelandic here, thanks smoothie
I heard that you know somthing about water injections to an intercooler,
I have a GT-r intercooler replica in my car and I want to mix an nozzle to it so I can cool it down when Im about to race, can you point me to the right direction?

We get an ongoing education in the ways of the Vikings from our local newspaper -

I don't consider myself an expert in water injection, but can tell you what I did...
I got the Porsche headlight washer pump and installed it in its' stock location at the bottom of the windshield washer reservoir, ran a hose from it up to a small plastic fuel filter, then on to the airbox where I have a small garden fogger nozzle mounted via standard 1/4" plumbing pipe from a hardware store. The pump is activated by a pressure switch that closes at approx. 5 psi (0,3 bar). You could use the same setup to cool an intercooler - just mount the nozzle in a different location - to spray on or inside the intercooler...

Previous version of the nozzle - copper tubing with its' end squished-shut and the nozzle opening made by drilling by hand into the tube with a small sharpened nail. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/smoothies931pics/detail?.dir=bdb3&.dnm=b1da.jpg

Headlight washer pump at center of picture - also showing the fuel filter being used as a water filter at center-left. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/smoothies931pics/detail?.dir=bdb3&.dnm=d33e.jpg

Pressure switch (purchased from a turbo supplier) - http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/smoothies931pics/detail?.dir=bdb3&.dnm=8e51.jpg

Current version of the nozzle (garden fogger) -

The nozzle alone is 1 of 3 small nozzles removed from one of these "Fogg-It" garden misters -
