Intercooler Sprayer [Merged 12-7] sprayers ic i/c fmic sidemount smic co2 water

[turboedoutlaser]

Ok im gonna need some feedback on this situation. I have seen alot of intercooler sprayer kits and ideas, i have an idea to create a sprayer (co2) that instead of cooling the intercooler, i would create a line and tap my intercooler pipe , put a fitting right into the pipe by drilling and running a hose inside the IC pipe right by the throttle body elbow, then dumping cold ass Co2 in there, i was wondering if anyone knew the do's and donts in this idea, such as can it cause any damage and what not. Please no negative feedback on this one im serious about this idea, if it goes well i will mass produce them and sell them on my web site, i am a computer animator and artist and will custom paint the Co2 tanks also, let me know

thanks,

C02 doesn't combust it won't work. Probably just stall your engine.

 

[turboedoutlaser]

you dont think the cold ari would help engine heat problems?

 

[BoostinAWD]

Sure it will help heat, but your engine cannot ingest it.

BTW nice site

thats theoritcally what a dry n2o spray does in your upper ic pipe. n20 will chill the air around it and it will also release 2 times the air when it is combusted. if you want to cool the air that way look into aquamist water injection. there are plenty of diy versions out there that cool air intake temps just as nice. co2 can only be used to chill the outside of things like FMIC/SMIC's, radiators, oil coolers, piping etc etc etc. Co2 isnt cumbustable inside the engine but o2 and n20 is.

Cold AIR would help a lot. Cold CO2 wouldn't. CO2 isn't combustable (for all intensive purposes) so you're displacing the oxygen with non-oxygen.

[markmakeitso]

how bout making ic pipes with 2 layers (like a thermos) only have a fitting at each end for the co2 to enter and exit. that way you could have one co2 source, it could spray between the ic piping walls, then continue on to spray onto the outside of the ic.

 

[turboedoutlaser]

maybe ill design the kit with a bracket and spray it directly on the outside of the ic pipe, like a long rail that goes along the side, or ill just design a tiwn Co2 tank loader IC sprayer and call it "the chiller" and paint the tanks with my air brush to look like ice!

there was a thread on this a few months ago. Supposedly it would help some since it would cool the air and more oxygen would be in there even tho the co2 isnt combustible. Personally I'd prolly stick to external sprayers because thats proven and the internal thing seems to be a bunch of people's opinions and i dont know if anyone has actually tried it yey.

 

[Enigma_Man]

The problem with cooling down the actual IC pipes is they're not going to be very effective. There just isn't enough surface area. That's why ICs have the flat tubes that the air travels down, to expose it to more surface area.

It wouldn't be very efficient to cool down just the pipes at all... You'd just waste your co2 into the atmosphere.

then im gonna start workin on "The Chiller"

 

[turboedoutlaser]

dual bottom loader glove box canister holder, thick respirator hose, copper fittings and an electrical solonoid switch for in dash switching, or a turn handle for in the glove, home depot here i come

i just wantd to let you know that I couldnt get the co2 filled in time for the dyno so i didnt get to use it on the dyno. I really dont think it would haev made much of a difference considering it was below 30 out.. It was 8 degrees out when I got up.

Nice numbers larry. just let me know if you go back to the dyno and use the intercooler sprayer!

ok so maybe i am a noob, but i am trying to figure this thing out. does the system jsut spray the outside of the intercooler?
and maybe i need to go read up on intercoolers some more as well

 

[BoostinAWD]

Yea it sprays the outside all over the fins that air will be passing through as your moving. Pulling a hella lot of heat out of your intake charge.

Would I be able to use the co2 intercooler sprayer and still run my nitrous or would it affect each other?? Also If I already have tanks from my paint ball guns, would I need to buy another tank or could use mine with the cabling that comes with the kit? thanks...

 

[red91tsiawd]

do u spray nitrous on the intercooler????? if u do then yes but if u don't then no it won't effect it any

You can use your nitrous, and the intercooler sprayer....The bottles for your paintball gun will work great with it!

nah a dry shot into the intake, not intercooler, thanks guys

??? not sure what you mean!

[InnerCircleVP]

I was just saying that I wasn't spraying nitrous into the intercooler. I was asking If I sprayed the co2 into the intercooler and a dry shot of no2 into the intake, if that was going to cause any problems. But I already figured it out

ok

 

[REDBLUR]

I am looking for people who are running these setups with some actual numbers (time slips or data logged runs) of these setups before and after they were installed (on same mods). Knock count, intake temps ect..

What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? (price, reliablity, cost to maintain, effciency, ease of DYI, ect...) Are these setups worth it? Is there a setup out there better than these?

Those who are interested or who would like to share their knowledge feel free too. I am looking for info specifically on a DSM, but other turbo applications would be fine also. I was considering gettting one of these setups along with some other new goodies in the near future.
Thanks

what is your budget? if you have the money aquamist rules if not INTERCOOLER SPRAYER is the way to go. visit www.intercoolertechniques.netfirms.com for info on intercooler sprayers
