Righto - I am a n00b.
But I was thinking about inter-coolers and general under bonnet cooling.
I know ~25KG is a fair old weight (20l water) , and 5 hourly water top ups at max burn could be an arse ache - but would something like http://www.mistcooling.com/portable-misting/portab... be useful as a pre-radiator temperature dropper ?
Systems like this are used controversially as pre-AC coolers the world around - but with properly filtered water... would it be a good inter cooler addition? For very little money. Or perhaps just a small version as a get out of jail card...
Or should we just have properly configured engines ?

Can't see a need/desire for anything like that, what is it you think that might help with?

My engine has ran cooler since the oiler cooler install which is a relativeley cheap job ..
^^ThatI have a factory fitted one, it's quite a nice, neat install (as you'd expect really) and I have never had any overheating issues..
If you seriously want to decrease underbonet temperatures then I'd look at heat wrapping as a solution...but there's conflicting viewpoints on whether that helps overall. I certainl wrap all my chop exhausts, but TBH that's as much for looks as it is for any real desire to hike performance/increase cooling.
