I've run a water sprayer on the front of the car before. I've even got a water spray computer to monitor temps and automatically spray the intercooler. And a spec-c water tank and massive pump.
Problem is... it would run non-stop at the track.
Also, it needed some check valves because the sprayers were lower than the tank, resulting in a constant slow drip that would slowly drain the tank unless I clamped the hose off between sessions. Plus, it didn't make a noticeable difference back then... of course I also had a bunch of airflow issues, so a sprayer now might actually work a bit better than back then.
Eventually, that setup became a water injection setup, which eventually became the contents of a box in my garage. Maybe I should consider going back to it? I just would much rather not have to rely on complicated gizmos to keep the car cool. I just want to be able to drive the damn thing, and not fuss with it, which is why I ditched stuff like the water injection in the first place.
Maybe I should ditch the front mount and go to a giant TMIC? It's not like my horsepower goals require a FMIC. It would just be a ton of work to get an uncut bumper, a bumper beam, relocate my AOS (to who knows where), switch back to the stock hood, reinstall my STi hood scoop, get a new splitter (my STi splitter I think is in parts now), retune the car, all for the privileged of spending $1000 on a new intercooler/hoses.
