if i'm not mistaken CO2 will make your car run pretty shitty if it gets into the intake of the turbo. somebody corect me if i'm wrong.

ever got wet and took a walk? you get cooler, right? same concept. water-air intercoolers are for ballers
with water heat can be transfered out of the ic up to 30% faster... ie. making it more efficient

I used a digital pyrometer on one of my friends high dollar NTX Ntercooler spray kit. He bought it for $400 and you know how much nitrous costs. With my pyrometer (laser) I held it in position while he hit the button for roughly 20 seconds. It never read lower than 2º difference and this was when the intercooler was cool already and the car hadn't been run for hours.



Silly ricer

Good pictures and write up, although I've done this back in 1992 lol

Are you serious? Please tell me you're not. You're not going to notice that much difference when the charge air is already cool and using a pyrometer to read the outside temp isn't really going to tell you all that much. What you want to measure is the intake air temp after a hard run and then do the same thing after a hard run and spraying the ntercooler/water spray. You should see a drastic difference. You could try the same thing with your pyrometer but you'd have to strap yourself to the front of the car. The temp fluctuations will happen faster than you can get an accurate reading.

n-tercooler sprayer is just a gimmick. It was proven on a dyno that the only increase in power came from the residual n2o that found its way into the intake tract. Its waste of money and a waste of perfectly good nitrious!
