no its pressurized CO2.

your thinkgin dry powder or dry chemical..

co2 is co2 thats all.

co2 boilig point is -77. thats enough to chill your cooler down a whole hell of a lot..

How about installing a nitrous system the normal way(into the motor)and instead of the normal "ricer" way of purging out of the windshield area so everybody can see, purge it onto the intercooler. You wouldn't even need to use the nitrous all the time. Just use the purge if you don't want to spray.

just cut the tube and use clamps and a nipple..
there is no pressure after the hand valve..

also your filter would need to be isolated bcs if any co2 got to the engine it would kill combustion instantly. (not hard)

I'm putting an intercooler sprayer on my Civic. I'm just using the windshield sprayer pumps. I'm tying the hose to the front of the intercooler with lots of little holes in it. The theory is that when water evaporates the phase change from a liquid to a gas is an endothermic reaction that takes in heat, thus taking heat off of the intercooler and making it colder.

the intercooler sprayer is no miracle HP device, its just nice to have becuase when your driving around alot its nice to have something to take the heat off of the intercooler if a race does come up. However, this should not be a high dollar investment if your going to do it

thats actually a damn good idea...have the option of useing n2o right into the intake or just for intercooler chiller.... good thinkin.

and hell, make the purge vavle tubeing into a circualar setup with holes...so it sprayes more evenly...get lots of bottle pressure and youd be good to go....imagin purging this much over your intercooler like my dude here in his z purges...imagine all that subzero n20 all over your intercooler...yum

we made one on my friends 95 awd talon

CO2 paintball tank, lines, and a nozzle (we used an on/off manual lever on the tank). worked good.
