CryO²™ - INTERCOOLER SPRAYER Would this benefit NA cars by spraying the front of the radiator to keep it cool, especially with high CR engines?
Would it cause any tube damage from the big difference in temperatures, inside/outside?
Anyone tried it?

I noticed when I spray water, using 2.0 liter manual spray can, it drops the temperature between races with engine running.
So, will a similar setup spraying water instead be helpful? Ice could be added to the can too.
Any similar water sprayer in the market for intercooler or radiators?

Main utility for that sprayer is for front-mount intercoolers... decreasing IATs result and there's a surprising amount of power that can be gained (from what I've read about a couple of blown G35s/350Zs that use them). I think one of the G35s went at least 50 rwhp (peak) better when dyno'ed using the spray cooling on an FMIC.
I think most muscle guys are just gonna say: why not spray it INSIDE your NA intake and get classic nitrous benefits?
I would also worry a bit about the effects of nitrous spray on the radiator/intercooler; whether the temps might cause metal fatigue? Don't know if that's a realistic worry or not.
As for spraying water, doesn't the track have a problem with any sort of water spray? Even air conditioner condensation?

If I saw a guy spraying water on his intercooler/radiator in front of me in the lanes, I'd get out and choke a bitch.You'll see no gains from hosing the radiator. I'm not entirely convinced you'll see a lot from hosing the intercooler since the intake temps don't get hot until you start making a lot of boost (as in when you're already going 60mph).

That is with water, the C02 will absolutely drop the temp of the radiator coolant.
The bad side is if you spay it and it gets in the intake, power will suffer. A trick some use at the track is to have a nozzel on the side and spray when going down the road, because once it goes into the intake of the other car they will loose power.

just to make you look stupid.What do you know about heat transfer.
Why on earth would they use water in a radiator.
I guess they should use Chocolate then.

If you are refering to pooring water on the radiator, try it and you will see what I am talking about.
As far as the Co2 in the intake, if you dont believe me thats fine. If you would prefer to think I am stupid that is fine also, plum your line into your intake and lets talk afterwards. power will drop off. A guess you would have to have an understanding of how the chemicals work to understand what I am talking about.
