Intercooler Cooling

[SkyLineGtR-R34]

I was thinking about the idea of cooling the intercooler with water. Maybe setting up some kind of smaller pump such as the one for windshield sprayes and have it spray water on the intercooler so for example when on track just spray some on the intercooler to help cool it down. Do you guys think it's a bad/good idea? Or, did anyone try doing this?

I know there are kits such as CryO2 and NX N-Tercooler but I was thinking since you spray that think close to the intake that some of that might get into the engine and then cause it to run rich.

Just an idea...

a number of people have already done this.

Have a few searches.

One of the magazines (Superstreet/SCC/Turbo/etc) did this with one of their tech project cars. They used a few nozzles from a gardening supply store that misted rather than sprayed in a stream, some rubber hose, and I think a pump from an aquarium. As I remember, they didn't expect huge gains from it, but more along the lines of cooling the IC if it heatsoaked.
