NX "N'tercooler kit

[FutureGSXOwner]

I was thinking about getting this as an alternative to running nitrous into my engine. Does anyone have this? If so..how are the gains with your setup?? Thanks.

Not to sure of many people running it on here. It more or less chills your IC, letting the air thicken in there before going into your manifold. Rumor is the dyno's see 25-50 with it in use, but I haven't seen any sheets myself. A lot of people do use it though, so it must work in some way or another.

A kid around town here in MN uses one on his SRT4, he says he can tell a difference, can't offer much more then that...

 

[Colossus]

I'd prefer to use the alternative sources I've seen to chilling the IC with a cheaper gas. Nitrous would be to exspensive to waste like that...

 

[WSU99GSX]

Anyone make a kit for the side mount ic?

Dyno'd it on two separate cars , first picked up 26whp, second picked up 27whp. I think it depends alot on the car, but it works so far. Also these were both with nitrous in the bottles, haven't tried one with CO2 yet.

 

[Colossus]

co2 should work just as well. It still cools, although I dont know which one is colder.

I have one on my car, and tried it at the track and did notice some more top end when I turned it on in 3rd gear till the end of the track. The funny thing is , I have yet to have a hot enough day to tell the difference just yet. Even on hot days my cold side of the intercooler is still cold to the touch. I will have better numbers this year hopefully.

anybody ever use this simultaneously with a wet or direct port system. i would expect huge gains, am i wrong?

 

[CountZero]

I would run nitrous if I had this system. Yes it is more expensive than co2, but co2 inhibits combustion so it wouldn't be good to spray while you ran since it's probably going to get some sucked into the intake. If you're spraying nitrous you can spray while you run and probably will see some increased gains just from the nitrous you take in.

 

[iwantawd]

uhhhhh what?

where would c02/n20 get into the compressed air by spraying it on the intercooler?

 

[theslacker2]

where do you think the air in the front of your car goes? hmm well it goes through the front mount if you have one then throught the radiator and you dont think it would get to your intake? mabe not a significant amount but maybe enough to see i little difference. i dont exactly agree with the fact that enough would get in but i can see how it would happen. my .02

 

[iwantawd]

sorry but thats laughable to me.... i think were talkin about a few molecules of co2 getting in here, most air flowing through the ic and radiator will go underneath the car unless you give it a place to escape through the hood
