Budget Intercooler Sprayer...

[Black Cat]

Just remember what ever you do spray, has a good chance of getting sucked in your intake.
So if you spray n2o you will see a increse in power but for the most part its because your fogging your intake with n2o, same with co2 but instead of gaining power you will lose some.

This web site has a good write up on this fact.

Given the layout of our intake and the wall between the headlight areas and the intercooler unless you're missing the undercovers I think you'd see very little of whatever you're spraying end up in the intake. Now if your filter is in the engine bay... well, you've already lost enough power, why not give up a little more? :icon_razz

It's still pointless (look at the dyno differences). Soak the sucker down with the CO2 or nitrous before/after a run to combat heatsoak.

Rubbing alcohol is still cheaper than both nitrous and co2.
$.99 for a cheap spray bottle
$2.79 for a 32oz bottle of rubbing alcohol.

Do not soak the intercooler, just give it a quick spritz, the intake mani and IC pipes will also benefit from the same treatment.

Time for a bigger IC

But affective is rubbing alc compared to NO2 or CO2?

 

[Poodles]

Won't literally freeze the IC, but it's cheaper and doesn't have the side effects of the others

Fire risk dude......

The risk far outweighs any benefit.

Do you tune for the chilled temps or for the more normal temps?

It will have to be a compromise tune.

Do you have any way of introducing AIT based compensations?

If so can chill an IC and see some benefit.

To me it seems like a fun way to make minimal gains, and depending on the application, possible losses. I think I'll pass on this one.
