Anyone using the N-tercooler system? I'm just trying to get some information on this system. I would most likely run CO2, but I have the ProCharger with twin intercoolers and would need a second ring if that's possible.
My Questions
1) What setup your running it on?
2) Are you running CO2 or nitrous and what amount of spray?
3) Where exactly do you install the ring at and what type of spray pattern?
4) What type of gains have you seen with the system?
5) Any additional equipment needed for the setup?
6) How much would the amount of CO2 sprayed effect the performance or would it be wiser to run a progressive type of spray pattern?
7) Would any of the normal nitrous accessories prove beneficial when running a CO2 charge?
Let me know what you guys think.

Why not make your own using a 10lb industrial CO2 Tank...a cheap solinoid, and some tubing from home depot.
My friend got a tank for $50, and solinoid for $40, a T fitting, some braided lines. Then make a rectangle out of the metal tube from home depot (about 1/4" ID), and drilled some holes- started with VERY small ones close to the inlet for the CO2 and larger further from it... It worked well, he picked up 21hp on the dyno. This was a turbo eclipse with a front mounted intercooler...

I was toying with the idea of picking up a cheap used NX or TNT system and fambing it into a cooler system. But I wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on here first.

1) What setup your running it on? 377 Inch SBF, 7.5:1 compression, Twin T66's
2) Are you running CO2 or nitrous and what amount of spray? Tried both, sprayed with WOT switch on some highway rolls and at the strip
3) Where exactly do you install the ring at and what type of spray pattern? I installed the solenoid low-ish on the core of the IC and the ring covered a fair portion of it.
4) What type of gains have you seen with the system? Absolutely NOTHING. IAT's were reduced minutely for the first 60 feet-ish, but after that there is more than enough air flowing over my intercooler to keep IAT's down. I made 5 runs with and without the spray, and the average times for both were nearly identical
5) Any additional equipment needed for the setup? Nope
6) How much would the amount of CO2 sprayed effect the performance or would it be wiser to run a progressive type of spray pattern? I don't see how a progressive spray is going to help you any more, my advice is to just not use the dang thing.
7) Would any of the normal nitrous accessories prove beneficial when running a CO2 charge? Other than a bottle opener, I wouldn't think so.
