Waste of money? opinions or experiences wanted
back when i was really really big into imports, they had this thing called the N2cooler, for those of u not firmilar with it its a oval shapped bar that goes in front of your intercooler and sprays supercooled nitrous onto it, supposed cooling ur intake charge air by like 40+ degrees. anyone ever try this over here? im goign to be putting my turbo on a stock block and im goign to push it to its limits, so i was wondering if this might be a good way to make some extra power and keep it safe, sort of like putting in race gas or meth.... or u can say its the stupidest idea in the world, haha

it would work at the track but would not be practical for everyday driving.. i would think doing meth injection would give you enough cooling action while also increasing octaine rating and is a more conventional way of acheving what you want.

would meth be as reliable as the nitrous cooler? i dotn know how reliable meth is...... also the kit is only like 200 something bucks, and easy to installa nd looks pretty cool, i would only use it when i need to raise the boost alittle when i need that extra speed

This will cool the IAT's dramatically, and will give you a much better return in performance for the amount of nitrous used. Bob

meth will work great. N2O is a great cooler and spraying into your intake gives you both the power form, the N2O and the power from the cooling effect!
i dont like thoes intercooler sprayers! much proffer cramming the intercooler with ice or dry ice the take the heat away from it! also it will get hot agian very quickly!!!
thanks Chris.

Especially if some of the nitrous from the "cooler" gets sucked into the intake(on accendent). I think I've seen a video of an Honda munching a piston becuase the jackasses running the dyno wanted to "cool" down the intercooler. Funny as ****!!
Go meth or spray it into the intake. It's wrong to waste good gas!!!

i say if you were to do the n2ocooller i would spray co2 instead of nitrous just for economic reasons. carbon dioxide is alot cheaper than nitrous.
then again if your looking at this senario from an economic standpoint meth injection is hands down the better choice from the money standpoint and power produced
