Kind of a weird question, but. What actually determines the cone (shape) of the spray on your nozzles, and is it just the size of the hole that determines the flow?
Flow is determined by the orfice size and how much force is behind it.
On any of these nozzles when gauging orfice size you also have to take into consideration the pill behind the orfice inside the nozzle. Some brands may have a large ID orfice yet the pill inside can be quite restrictive.
Example;
A nozzle with a .045 orfice and pill behind it with 4 .017 cuts will flow about the same at a given pump rate as a nozzle with a .025 orfice with a pill behind it that has 4 .025 cuts in it.
As far as cone or spray pattern. The tapper or bevel on the out side of the nozzles orfice will be the end deciding factor after orfice size. No bevel would be a stream of water. A sharp bevel will be a tight cone or pattern. A large wide bevel will be a wide pattern.
Coolingmist maybe has more info, but I hope that's a start.
Peace
so .. i heard that you guy's have been having problems with the pumps lately ..
this is coming from one of your guy's (coolingmist) i am not mentioning any names, mainly because i dont remember lol.
but i called and they told me that you guys have been having problems with the pumps not being able to pump water when the water level is low, leaking problems and he didnt recommend on buying the low level switch, because 95% of the time, they leak.
can you please speak up on this?
i have 2 guys here in tucson with the same problems (low level water pump not working) ..
and i don't want to be the third, since my car will be tuned fairly high.
We had a problem with the float switch leaking on the trunkmount kits, that has been resolved, they dont ship with low level float switches any more. Pumps never leak.
That is the only problem that we had regularly. Other issues pop up from time to time and we take care of them.

i ordered the statis monitor from you guys but it didn't come with any instructions for hook-up . how do i wire this thing in. any help would be greatly appriciated, thanks.
Ok -- I am thinking of getting the HOM Trunk mount kit, but I was looking at the pictures and it looks like you are splitting the output for the two nozzles at the trunk (ie. you have to run two lines to the engine compartment rather than one most of the way and splitting it in the engine bay). Is there a capacity issue with running just one line? I was going to run one line all the way up, the check-valve then split the lines.
Also -- How fast will this thing shp? Took next Friday off to start install....

Hi, we only do that for a cleaner installation. We can give you a tee instead, its just not as clean for the installation.
I was thinking that I would put a 90 degree to a quick disconnect, run the tube up to the engine compartment into another quick disconnect and into the check valve and into the log that splits the line to the two nozzles (see pic).
I thought having the check valve that far forward would add a little protection. Any problems with this idea? What added hardware would I need (threaded tube, 90, & two connects, trade for a delete on the hold downs?)? I wasn't sure what size the pump output and check valve input were (guessing 1/4 npt).
Lastly -- Will the nozzle thing thread into the stock pipe before the iat or do you need to secure it from the inside some how.... Sorry to be a pain.
This is not a problem, we can give you a coupling and fittings to connect the hose to the 90 degree at the pump.
the extra hardware is just a 1/4 coupler and 2 quarter quick connect fittings.
The nozzles are 1/8th NPT. Just drill and tap 1/8th NPT (27 threads per inch).
