Replacing water spray with NX N-tercooler Kit

xSTIx · 01-17-2006, 07:42 AM

Does anyone know where the intercooler spray hose is routed from the rear to the front? I am looking at replacing my whole spray system with a super cooling fogger system, and I was going to keep the bottle in the trunk.

I want to run the hose along the same path as the water spray hose.

Did you ever think of going with the a water/meth kit instead of the intercooler spray.

Yeah both are really good mods question is what r u looking for and what is your price range?

I would personally take into careful consideration the consequences of spraying liquid n2o (boiling point -88.5 degrees C) onto a hot metal intercooler (thermal fatigue.)

There are also CO2 sprayers however I don't know what the downsides are. I know that it is safer than NOS for spraying the intercooler.

I am running water injection so I know more about that.

I will do the CO2. Not too keen on pumping nitrous anywhere in an engine bay other than into the engine.

Also, I wonder if fogging co2 will get any of it into the intake? Staying topmount.

well since the tmic is pretty close to the intake i would think that there would be a pretty good chance of ingesting some into the intake. i remember someone on nasioc having there car dyno'd with a C02 sprayer and didn't see any results, i really don't think it would be worth the money imo
