Intercooler spray solenoid????

[85celicasupra]

I just have a question,

think any of these will work...On the pictures most of them say "automotive use only"

I already have all the rest of the stuff for my intercooler spray (I use to paintball so i have tanks of all sizes) and fittings, so all i need is the solenoid and hose.

I am just wondering about your guys' thoughts on these.

Scott: Most of those will work but keep in mind most look to be Propane control valves and are rated for 200 Psi so have tiny internal holes.

All depends on what pump you use and how much flow you require from the spray bar.

why would he need a pump?? In theory wouldn't tank pressure cause flow when the solenoid valve opens??

hose from tank to valve to bar/directional head?? and a switch in cab to activate the solenoid-and if your really fancy a gauge to it to read bottle psi:aigo:

i'd just be sure that all components are rate above the working pressure of what psi those tanks hold.

Its tough cause none of those solenoids say what psi they are good for.

Most paintball tanks have a 700 or 800 psi rupture disk (so if it exceeds that much it will break and just leak instead of explode the tank)

I know all my lines will work, i just need a solenoid...right now it is my missing link.
And im not looking to spend 100 for a Nos, nx, or other brand where your paying for the name cause i am doing it budget...
Ill keep looking, or contact that site about those 'noids.

How do you charge the tank?

How do you charge the tank?

lots of places will do it. anyplace that sells paintball stuff will charge the tank for example.

if those are for propane- is that like a bbq propane tank!?!?! what are those charged to i wonder.

Be easier with a windscreen washer tank and a pump

Propane rarely goes over 200 psi these days.

yup anywhere that does paintball will fill paintball tanks...i can actually fill my own cause i have a 30 pound c02 tank with fill station.
I may have found my way around it tho. They make adjustable regulators for tanks that i can get cheap. Ill update this with what i do.

Well upon further searching i have decided on a edlebrock performer solenoid...found one for sub $40 shipped. I will have a complete co2 intercooler sprayer for under 100 which is a pretty good buy.

Sorry I was off with the pixies on this on at first and thought you were spraying H20 not c02... doh

 

[dumbo]

tell me if you notice anything

 

[IJ.]

Don't make me give you an e-wedgie

it will be a while before i get to installing this....

I dont have a mk3 or 7mgte...
I have a mk2 and am building a 5mgte. But like i said I will update this and let everyone know.
