Default intercooler spray bar?

ok. i got a dry nos system in my garage, it was given to me in exchange for some work i did. anyway. im scheduled for my tuning appointment on the the 21st. im running like 25 psi in my built h22. any way my question is being i have the nos system, would it be worth it to buy the spray bar adapter kit and use it. id only use it to avoid detonation, but is this something that is tunable. ive heard that they are inconsistent, and therefore hard to tune. any opinions? basically what would u do? thanx

I have always heard, "If you tune your motor to use a spraybar, then what happens when you run out of NAAWS?"

i think they are a bad idea, but then again ive never used one. what happens when you tune the engine with the bottle at 500psi then it drops down to 250psi? or you run out all together? I think it would be far better to just tune it without the spray bar but then again ive never used one

neptune and s300....have IAT correction....

so i would think you tune regularly...and when u want use it ...the ems should compensate....

i have a NX ic kit for sale......it didn't help me because..i have a shitty s200.....no IAT correction

the bar kits do make a big difference thou.....i have seen 20-30degree...diff in my intake temps...with c02


oh ya.....i used co2 instead of n2o for a couple of reasons

1..n2o could be sucked back into the turbo...running the engine lean

2. co2 is way cheap than n2o...WAY CHEAPER

3. not tomuch of a difference in the cooling effects of the 2....or that i noticed while datalogging

here is my kit for sale http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1509347
