Quite effective on a subaru wrx sti... Will it do much rigged up onto my full size allisport?

No, i dont think your landy moves fast enough to make the water jet/mist work, you might end up with a wet intercooler suffering heatr soak because the water is adsorbing the heat and trapping it against the cooler due to low air flow, thus reducing performance...on the other hand it might not!

Spoke to allisport about it and they say the temperatures arent high enough in a diesel to make much difference.
Though i am now tinking about their propane kit!!!

Nathan (Phoenixmad) and I are off down to see them on the 10th (Nov).  He's getting them to sort out his front end (intercooler, radiator, oil cooler and fans) and they have promised to loan us their kitted out Defender for the day.  If I remember correctly, last time I saw it, it had the Propane injection system installed.  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:  
So we sould be able to give you a first hand account of how well it works.  :(biggrin): :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

On road. The only reason i do it is for economy really, get it done early in the fenders life and then it will be pay itself off nd save money in the long run. I am getting 35mpg normal use and 38mpg on motorway runs at the moment!

offroad so i can break something even quicker, whilst top of tub deep in marsh and hitting a forign object thus snapping front h/s
