No I don't believe it would be beneficial to build your own system. You need high pressure and low volume with the correct nozzles. If you get it wrong even once you will hydro lock your engine and you will be looking for a new engine! Spend the $500 and buy a ready built kit. And I will also add if you looking for it to control temps during long towing trips you need to look into an intercooler first.

Not to high jack this thread but I seem to recall, way back when (That's a long time ago) there was instrument, gadget that was mounted on top of and in the front of the radiator that had several nozzels pointing down. There was a water resevoir and a pump simular to a windshield washer pump.
When temp's were a raising a flip of the switch would spray water over the front of the radiator and bring the temps down.
Any of you older guys recall this??

Here is the thread from my install. Total I had $230 in the whole deal which doesn't include the headlights I installed at the same time.
