[s-cars] Subaru Intercooler question - Add a fan?

[Bruce Mendel]

Actually, the methanol component of the washer fluid is not as good as water at removing heat. Its benefit is that while water removes heat the best (50 percent of blue washer fluid), methanol is 114 or so octane, so that 50 percent of the fluid resists detonation as it's essentially an octane booster.

The Spec-C comes from the factory with a 12-14L (I can't remember the exact
size) water tank in the trunk, it will bolt in like it's meant to be there.
Change the plumbing from external spray to something like the Aquamist
sprayer (water injection). You'll see a huge difference in intake temps. Use
windshield washer fluid and it won't grow any bacteria or whatever while it
sits in the tank and the additional methanol will cool the charge even
better.
