Usually they use it to cool down the intercooler when they need that extra bit of power. In the same way some people use nos, only far more reliable. The other version of it was used int he Lancia Hp Delta Integrale, where they injected water into the manifold indeed creating both a colder mixture with the known benefits and power increase.
The ceramic stuff is pretty cool and very usefull, but if you want your engine to last as long as it normally does, make sure you have a topnotch cooling system, and if possible improve on your oil system as well. Makes it a lot more expensive but also more reliable and less prone to overheatings.

Different type of spray. The intercooler one is a simple water mist spray (and not needed on a charge cooler), where as the ones I mentioned are micro-mist ones that you have to drill throug to mount and which you need to keep an eye on the liquids levels when using.

I haven't read through much of this, but I will say that the ceramic coating helps. It's also known as Jet Hot coating.. I've seen manifolds coated with it inside and out where you could run the car hard for a decent while and one minute later you could reach down and grab the manifold without burning your hand. It's really not all the expensive to have it done either. I've been thinking about getting the exhaust side of my turbo jet hot coated to help keep temp down. But I'm probably going to wait till I'm upgrading turbos before I do anything like that..

Ok, so this has been bugging me... ??? Perhaps it was covered before, but after watching every episode of ID... I cannot figure out what happened to Tak's mother. Was it ever explained? Did he have a mother? Or was he born from the backfire of the ae86? Maybe humanoid living tofu? :P

LOL in the real life movie it doent really explain it, but it does show pictures of her with bunta......assuming she died, there for he was a complete drunk in the movie, and not the drift master as we know him in the series.
