Building Intercooler Sprayer, need design help, not noob ?
I am looking to build an IC sprayer for a Drag 3 intercooler. It already has a nitrous system in the car and I plan on routing the purge to the intercooler. My question is what is the most efficient way to get the nitrous to cool the intercooler. I looked here http://www.designengineering.c...html and this seems to be the best way to distribute the nitrous(switched to co2). If there is a better way to cool the intercooler please let me know. Also if this is the best way to do it. The co2 sprayer doesn't seem cover alot of area around the intercooler, so would it be better to make it bigger to get MORE POWER(Tim Taylor Voice), or just a waste of co2. Thanks in advance to all informative posts!

If you still have your AC attached (long shot, but hell...), you can rig it up to circulate R134a through your intercooler (if it's liquid>air). If not, I would suggest rigging up an icewater container and windshield squirters: it's easy and effective.

I think ice water would just be nice if there was not a nitrous system on the car. I think you could just run a stainless steel braided or a hard copper bent piping to the IC and then use that intercooler sprayer shown. It has dimensions of 16x5, which seems about perfect for a 18x6 drag 3 IC. I wouldn't worry too much about it being too small anyway since ICs are made of material that has heat disapation in mind.

You could tap the endtanks and shoot the icewater directly into the air charge thus cooling it dramatically. I'm not sure if you were planning on direct CO2 injection, but I'd be much more willing to use water for the simple facts that A.) it's been done before with great results and B.) I can fill it up with a bottle of Evian at the gas station.
I'm sure both systems have their merits...good luck with whatever you chose to do
