BOSS APPROVED!
Is anybody running the intercooler spray bar? Any difference in IAT? Or should I just spend the money on RedBull?

no expert but ive read taht its helps cool it off a bit . . people say to use co2 if u want to use the bar . . but i would jsut say uses like a small nitrous shot like a 50 shot b4 the intercooler would be my guess

I am still on a stock bottom end. Therefore straight up NOZZZZ into the engine is out of the question (at least unitl I get back from Iraq for the second time).

If you had a killer tune.. a 25-50 shot on stock bottom end would be alright.. It would cool your air charge but also raise cylinder pressure. Meth and N20 do opposite things. But I def would not run N20 to lower my IATs.. I may run Meth and N20 on a built bottom end.. But what would be the point??? Other than spraying for .7 sec to spool turbos maybe.. if you had that proble.. Just check out www.alkycontrol.com . Give them a call.. They're customer service is second to none, and they will let you know EVERYTHING you want to about Meth... Best money you can spend as far as safety goes. Other than a tune of course

I,ve been running a 50-75 shot for over a year. ( D1 @ 5-6 psi )
So far the only thing that broke was my aftermarket torque arm, ( knocks on wood )
stock bottom end 90,000 miles.

Well Urban is running 10psi.. no need for N20.. Meth.. and you could safely squeeze out a few more hp by upping the boost to 12psi.. If you wanted.. I'd stick with 10psi and meth.. Are you having a prob with IATs? temps are dropping, but then again you are in Texas. What's the weather like there?

We have had some success with using a spray bar assembly. On the Nissan 350Z ATI ProCharger assembly, it picked up 50 rwhp. It does not appear the air filter assembly is digesting the nitrous, but that is somewhat hard to prove.
We have seen air inlet temperatures plummet down to 39 degrees with our EPP350Z Deepfreeze, allowing the engine horsepower and torque to dramically climb! Bob

...plus it probably looks pretty damn cool on the street, too...
The owner of that 350 could go completely rice and illuminate it with a couple of blue LED's... or has he already?

when you run the spray bar use a toggle switch to activate it and right after you do your burn out turn that **** on let it ice up the IC and leave it on the whole run.... you will see a difference.....
its a cheap option that doesnt take any tunnning... it just pulls the IAT's down... i'll try it if my combo doesnt yield the wanted results..
im good friends with the holley truck driver and he likes them.... and he isnt a biased person... he always tells me the truth.

they dont work! quite simple really! the import guys have had them for AGES and most dont like them apart from there looks!
as for cooling the core, well they do for a few seconds. once underway how long does the intercooler stay under ambient temps?? not forgetting that the ambient air that normalyy cools the intercooler is now working against you in the fact its pulling the IC temps back uptoi ambient!!!!
a much better and much more proven way is to spray into the intake! you tipicaly see about twice the power gain to the size of the shot. so a 25shot will give you between 40 and 50 bhp. this is cos you are DIRECTLY cooling the inlet air, not the intercooler.
also how much N2O would you use??? looks like you would need a fair bit to have any great effect on IAT! why not just use meht?? proven to work VERY weel, is proberally cheaper and much easier to install (no presureised tanks!!!!!).
ps. not having a go at the system, just dont feel they have much use.
thanks Chris.
