Has anyone installed their Nitrous Nozzle Pre-intercooler before?
I sent a couple emails to NX and those tards aren't getting back to me
I've had juice on 4 of my cars, and all very successfully. I know how to tune it, and I'm real comfortable with it, but I never heard of anybody doing what I'm about to ask.
Here's what I'm thinking about.
1 of 2 things, or maybe even both?
The 1st idea is to spray a 10-15HP Dry shot, and install the nozzle right before the intercooler in the LICP. This is to cool the turbo air to get cooler intake temps letting me run more boost and timing.....just like a water/alky/meth/whatever ya wanna call it kit would do. The theory I have is that a frosty cold Nitrous shot should cool intake temps better than any of the water/alky/meth mixes will. I'll gain a little HP from the added oxygen, but the main reason behind this is to cool intake temps so I can run more boost & Fuel.
The other idea is the same.... to install the nitrous nozzle PRE-intercooler, BUT with a WET kit! (Oh you're thinking I'm crazy, and it won't work huh?) ...Well the 2 nozzle will be split up. The 1st Frosty cold Nitrous nozzle will be installed Pre-intercooler, and The Fuel Nozzle will be installed right in front of the TB. THIS idea is to gain power from the Nitrous/fuel mix, but at the same time (by having the n2o nozzle pre-intercooler) I will still gain the added benefit of the chilled intercooler air.
I really think it will have a awesome cooling effect on the intake temps if I can plum the n2o pre-intercooler. I "think" it will be OK to plum the Nitrous PRE-intercooler because the nitrous will be exposed to the hot turbo air, and it will stay in gas form... heck it might even turn to gas faster because of the hotter turbo air... so there is no chance for it to pool up inside the intercooler. I cant think of any reason this would not be OK, but I've never heard of anyone doing this before... so I thought I'd ask 1st.
I already have a water/meth kit, but I don't know anything about it. I've been tuning Nitrous since 99.... so I've already got alot of spare parts/kits that I can use. Also if you ask me Nitrous is cooler , and it colder both of those are added befits.
HAS ANYONE DONE THIS BEFORE?
Let me know what you think
Thanks!
