would using this on our intercoolers benefit the performance. anyone with experience with this stuff??

 

I did hear from someone I talked to that spraying that on the front would help

 

it makes sense because most of the kits actually put frost on the intercooler. just wondering if it is worth it and see on a street car if its a good "investment"

 

Buschur tested this awhile back and said that no gains were made by using the system. When they sprayed nitrous on the intercooler the only gains were seen from nitrous being ingested into the intake system.

Water/Meth are better ways to get your IATs down.

If search didn't suck right now I would post a link to their findings, but it is failing me atm.

 

If this is what I think it is (too lazy to click the link), it's fundamentally the same as spraying nitrous or water on the intercooler. Yes it can lower temperatures but whether it's worth it is debatable. There are a lot of other mods you should do first before stepping up to something like this.

 

i know there are other mods that i should do first. thats why im stuck because i found a good price on a kit. plus i think it looks cool on the front of the intercooler

 

You likely won't notice much if anything, save your money for better mods.

 

i really think that would help! just because when my friend and i tuned his dodge neon we sprayed cold water via a spray bottle on the intercooler and it showed gains of 3-5 HP each time.. no lie.. try it!

 

3-5 HP is within the normal variation rate of a dyno and it's not something you can physically notice. For the cost of this kit, you'd be better off getting an exhaust, tune, Evo X turbo, meth injection, etc. and then maybe considering it.

 

Amby if you keep making others smarter I wont have anything to laugh at!

 

There will always be new members to laugh at.

 

or just get a new bigger IC so it well cool better

 

all the kit is really going to do is keep things cool,not add real power

 

Why don't you go get a bottle of Enddust computer cleaner, turn it upside down, and spray it onto your inter cooler before every race. Gotta be quick though, evaps quickly!

 

Then huff a little bit of it, you'll feel like your going so fast, you'll be flying haha
