very nice looking engine bay there Graham

do you have a photo of what the spray nozzle looks like?

IE is it a special water sprayer for the purpose, or something as simple as a garden watering system sprayer

Pretty sure the nozzle used by Graham is the same as the one I used:

The actual orifice section itself unscrews from the angle fitting and there is a brass screen filter in behind it to keep the spray clear. . .

That's the one it was from the USA via eBay cheap as chips seems to work. Cooling mist I think was the company

Just putting out there - would it be worth super charging a 998 auto to give it more grunt ?

One of the guys in our local club put a big valve sorted head and a hif44 on his 1275 auto and got over 50 bhp at the wheels, he said the traction was great and it was a fast car, he abused it and killed the box.

thanks guys - I'd found that one on ebay :)

I put a 1/4" BSP bung in my intake for "just in case" that would be in just about exactly the right spot... I might make a sprayer myself
