I have played with a kit similiar to the NX intercooler kit. Believe me, unless you are VERY sure that there is NO WAY you are going to injest N20 into your intake, ie into your engine be very careful with this product. It also makes a big difference whether you are spraying the intercooler while sitting on the dyno with your hood up, ie lots of places for the N2O to disperse to v/s spraying the intercooler while on the road with your hood closed, ie most of the stray N2O flowing through your engine bay and likely being sucked up in your intakes.

You don't HAVE to listen to me, but I have a new motor now (chipped apex seal while playing with N2O and intercooler chilling) and I won't be aimlessly spraying N2O in the area near my intakes... I would rather plumb it directly into my intake track and tune for it because the amount of N2O being injested will then be controlled.

you broke the pineapple engine ?

 

i dont know ,i just cant see how there would be enough gettin into the engine bay to do all that .besides co2 is not going to burn .

 

Sucking C02 in to your intake would be like sucking a rock in there!

 

how is that ,please explain?

 

C02 is not combustable.

 

yea so if its not then it would be like rain ,exhaust or anything else that might get in the air huh ?

 

Good point!
I dunno, but we will soon see!
I will have my system on Monday.

 

well hey please keep ue posted !hey how did u get your avatar picture so small ?

 

a buddy of mine made his own no2 sprayer onto his intercooler. he was already runningn nitrous on his engine se we just added another selenoid and ran some lines to to intercooler. it worked great until he used it one time and the intercooler was too hot and the intercooler cracked when the no2 hit it. i think its pointless and kinda ricey to have the whole n02 on the intercooler. all of these little highschoolers ask me if i am getting the nitrous on my fmic when i buy it. i dont want it if that many little punks ask me about it all the time.

 

to each his own!i guess

 

Yeah, the kit really isn't all it's cracked up to be.

 

Yes, c02 is not combustable, but it does make up a large part of the air we breathe (our bodies actually turn the oxygen we breathe into C02). The car sucks a lot of c02 in anyways, just because it doesn't burn, doesn't mean that its going to hurt the engine. Oxygen only makes up a small part of the air, so its not like the car is normally getting pure oxygen. Nitrous makes the fuel burn hotter and faster than when the engine is just getting normal air and thats why the engine runs leaner. IMO, the c02 would be very safe.

 

there is a simple way to avoid the N20 or CO2 getting into the intake. for one, if you are realy that serious about getting every little bit of HP you can, you should already have a sealed cold air box for your filter(s) to be mounted in. And as you know, on rotaries, like most cars, the air filter box would be off to one side of the engine bay. If you have the filter right up by the head light in a sealed (from the rest of the engine bay) air box, no N2O or Co2 will get into the intake.

So simply, if yo haven't already done the cold air box, with its own direct cold air feed, and you want the N ter cooler, I would say you are just after rice factor not power as a cold air box would be much cheaper to make than the N Ter cooler system. If you have done this, then you wont have any worries will you!

 

I thought you sprayed the nitrous or CO2 on the intercooler BEFORE the race to cool off the intercooler. I've seen ppl use fire extinguishers like that while they are at the line. Seems like a waste to spray while your going for an extended period. The intercooler is only going to get so cold.

 

I remember reading some where gail banks used it on one of his salt flat vehicles, that was sapose to be turbo charged. He did not finish it in time so he just ran it N/a with the IC and a CO2 spray bar on the IC. He did good with that setup if I remember correctly.

 

i use it on my car and it does make a difference. for any one that wants to use co2 i would not recomend it co2 kills horsepower if it does make it to the air filter and into the engine. i would rather a little bit of nitrous get into the engine then co2.
