for the DIYer: homemade IC sprayer

Hey everyone, just finished hooking this up on my car. Took a couple pics along the way just in case anyone else wants to do something similar.

Bought a kit like this from Princess Auto for $10

The washer bottle next to the battery wasn't there before :p

Here you can kinda see how the bottle is mounted:

Fluid check valve (had one lying around, dunno what they're worth):

This is kinda hard to tell, but that is the fluid line running to the bottom of the sprayer nozzle. The nozzle itself is mounted just in the plastic shroud by the intercooler.

Shot of the top of the nozzle, aimed straight at the IC :)

Wiring was pretty simple; rather than run new wires through the firewall, I just hooked it up to the foglight relay. Now, the foglight button (to the left of the instrument cluster) turns on the sprayers.

And voila! Nice stream of coldness to the IC:
