Notced a trend poping up about N2O spraying on intercoolers what are the benifits????
Well I have a friend with a Dragg 3 SI and we have been noticing all these turbo cars in superstreet have been using a fogger system to spray NOS on the front of the intercooler I know it it to cool the intake charge alittle more on say a hot day or to make it as cool as possible to make more power but how much does it help would my buddy stand to gain that much if we made a set up to do that on his car? Is there anybody of the boards that use's this kind of set up ?
Thanks for any help
CHRIS
P.S. I know it is a run on sentance but I am to lazy to use punctuation

Its not Nitrous... I think it C02 if im not mistaken.. not positive. I know NX makes the kit though.. I know its not Nitrous though...

I havent seen anyone post dynos of the differences but even if someone did you can't really compare the two to how it would perform in the streets. The fans at most dynos arent really strong enough to simulate the air when actually driving. Itd still be nice to see though.

supossedly it helps a lot... when you spray it the intercooler will actually "frost over," but i haven't seen one in action yet.

I know two people in MD that use this setup. When they spray it takes 0.9-1.2 off there 1/4 times with just a 50 and a 55 shot. I plan on using this setup to when i finish my rebuild.

what??
i highly doubt that. just by spraying the stuff OVER your intercooler it drops your 1/4 time by 1 sec??

accually some people use nitrous but its 2 expensive to waste like that so most people use co2 but if nitrous is used it gets into the engine cuz the intake sucks it in either way, unless u use the ncooler by nx its contained and co2 is most commonly used im almost positive nascars used to spray nitrous on their radiators to cool em down but they would get a lil boost cuz it was sucked into the engine

Yeah if I read that right it took up to 1.2 off the 1/4 using the ntercooler AND a 50-55 shot. Errr, maybe somebody has been reading too much Ricer Racing and High Performance magazine.
Granted, when I got into cars back when I was 15, I would think that headers and mufflers would give you approx 25 horsepower (on a V8 that is, I didn't even know what a Honda was )...but not too long ago I was talking to a guy, maybe 20 years old, driving a 66 Mustang w/289.
He says "yeah we put those Flowmasters on a few months ago, and that's the best thing I've done. It's at LEAST 50 horsepower. They made such a difference, it's just so much faster now". Keep in mind he's totally serious, and also just got done telling me his dad installed an Edelbrock performer package (which is a torquey street cam, 4 bbl intake and 4bbl carb).

NX claimed a car gained 52whp by using that kit. that is highly doubtful. it will however, allow you to run consistent times at the strip. heatsoak? fear it no more.

Thanks for the info guys keep it coming. Anybody got any good pics of the set up and how it all works and what not
Thanks again

nitrous comes out at what? -175° F or something???? that must make a difference when sprayed onto the i/c...it'd be like a cold night, but during a hot day

I'd have to give it a big "GEHAY"...why not just spend that money on a more efficient intercooler or just spray the damned nitrous into your engine...if you had refrigerant pumping through the cooling ducts of your intake manifold if would give power too, but it seems like it's more effort than it's worth.
By lowering the intake temperature 11ºF you get an approx. 1% increase in efficiecy, so unless your maxed out, it seems ill-spent.

50 horsepower... maybe if u have a 500hp car. why dont u just spray like 20 shot into the motor. i would think that would work better. it would cool down the air also...
