My intercooler's 60/40 coolant boils if its fed 15psi+ for more than a few seconds. Doing a little math with the online WI calculators, the turbo air temperature can be reduced from 300*f to 225*f (about the same temp as 10psi) using the 300cc/minute nozzle I currently have laying around from my old WI system.

It would only be active above 15psi, but condensing/pooling in the IC is my primary concern. I am planning on replacing the condenser/radiator with a better (higher flow) radiator, but that may not be until next year.

Thoughts?

If the injected water/meth mixture boils at a temp lower than the IC water, I don't think it would be a problem with condensing/pooling.

Sounds like you have a water flow problem. Can you split the circuit somewhere and measure the flow into a bucket?

At 15psi you shouldn't have 300F. I have 135C (275F) at 20psi, at 15psi I was getting 105C (220F).

What kind of pump are you running? How much capacity of liquid do you have? My system has a capacity of 2 gallons. I don't think I am having any issues with boiling over.

1982 300SD: 304,xxx Super M-pump with 7.5mm elements, 265 Nozzles, GT35 water cooled turbo, M90 Supercharger, A/W Intercooler, Serpentine drive belt, 3" SS exhaust with Magnaflow muffler, 240 breather, AEM dry Filter, Manual Boost Control, EGT / Boost / EMP gauges....Moved on to other projects

1995 F-350 7.3L PSD: 230,xxx 6.0 IC, DIY Stage 1 Injectors, 17* hpop, Tony Wildman Chip, John Wood Trans, 6.4L TC, 3" down pipe, 4" straight exhaust, 310 HP on wheel dyno - 8500# dually: 0-60 in 6.98

Suzuki Samurai: VW 1.9L TD, Trackick doubler transfer case (made by me) 5.8:1 transfer case gears, YJ springs front and rear with rear missing links, wheel base extended 14", diffs welded, some day a VNT.
