I have been considering fogging my FMIC after some work... q's!
I'm trying to figure out if I do a setup similar to the "blackbird" skyline (bent 1/2" pipe into a oval) if I take my rear windshield line and run it to it... will there be enough pressure to use copper mister nozzles that I would drill and tap into that pipe? Or should I use C02 sprayers...?

It'd take a decade for a windshield washer pump to bring 1/2" tubing into pressure, you'll need a bigger pump to run that kind of setup, a high volume aquarium pump might work...otherwise you could use much smaller tubing and nozzles possibly.

Actually, my friend plays airsoft (kind of like paintpall except with plastics bb's, hurts a lot more) and he left a can of pressured air in his car overnight and the next day it blew up and tore up his roof, it made a good size dent and the tip of the bottle actually made a hole through the sheet metal. It's a good thing the drives a Toyota Tercel 'cuse that would suck if it happened in a FD.

I live in Texas where going outside on a summer day will make you feel as if your standing on a skillet. It only gets down to 80 something on summer nights... this is why I was thinking about this. More to releave the heatsoak that sometimes just won't go away.

I have been paintballing for about 5 years (switched to compressed air 2 years ago, but have had plenty of experience with CO2).
Just take the bottle inside with you.
Just make sure you have an on/off valve and a quick disconnect.

anyone else know about this.

hmm... good point. but when the thing sees the intake temps low it give the motor more fuel... so you are saying that due to the sudden intake temp drop and the creation of more hp... that the ECU make take a few to many seconds to compensate for the increase in hp... and boom? You should have seen how my car acted when my intake temp sensor was acting screwy... it bounce from 80c to 12c to 50c to 80c back to 12c again... talk about screwing some plugs up!

Yes thats exactly what he's saying. Personally I dont think the gain is worth all the trouble
If you really want to fix the problem get a good air/liquid IC with a heat exchanged in the nose of the car and a small insulated water box that you can put ice in on super hot days. That will give you VERY constant and cold air intake temps.....and really if you sell your IC, then figure in how much you would have spend on a spray set up, it might not cost you much more to diy
