its still not useless when you are moving, because it can obviously cool the air in the intercooler a hell of alot better then just normal outside air... There will DEFINATELY still be power gains

 

Minimal at best...

The airflow over the intercooler when you are moving would be enough to just blow the CO2 straight through the fins and the cooling will be very minimal. Is that 2hp gain you might get worth the cost of the system and bottle fill ups?

Besides I can go out and beat the **** out of my car, pop the hood and the intercooler will be cool to the touch from the airflow. Sitting at a light or parking will heat soak the IC but less than a mile of driving and the IC will be cooled off again...

 

I knew a guy with an SRT-4 who had it on his car, and when he would race on and off it, you could definately notice a difference because he was noticeably faster on it. The cost thing is why I will fill it with co2 instead of nitrous, its alot cheaper and easier to come by then nitrous is. I'm wondering if Wally World can fill it, just need to find a place that can fill paint ball guns and im set. Like I said I will be doing some drag racing, but for my clutches sake not a WHOLLLE lot. Its also just another fun toy to mess around with

 

I'll give you the fun factor. I have heard one of those fire off before and the noise and "fog" would be enough to scare the shi...crap out of people near by.

When it is installed, take a video camera out and get some shots of Sally Soccermom in her H2 next to you at a light when you hit the fire button and she hears the pressure release and sees the fog coming out of your hood scoop...

 

walmart will prolly not fill that. You need to do it at a real paintball shop. Call ahead because if you come in with a 10 lbs bottle for CO2 and they dont have a full 50 lbs tank you will not get a good fill.

Plus, it takes someone who knows what they are doing to properly fill that tank. Not saying that its unsafe, but if you have some jackass that will just try to dump the 10 lbs of CO2 into that tank, you will only get it half filled.

I think I calculated it out before and N2O was cheaper then the CO2

its about $35 (last time I checked) to fill it with N2O, and about $5 per 20oz for CO2, so that comes out to be about $40 for the 10 lbs tank

 

I wonder how many "coolings" you will get for your $35-$40. I would imagine that this kit fires more co2 or n2o than your standard nitrous kit does...

 

Hehe, or you could just put a smoke machine under the hood and a neon tube to make your hoodscoop glow.

 

hmm..

 

No ghey.

 

Damn then I guess I will be making a run up to tognotti's those guys fill bottles up all day long, so I will probably get alot better fill from them then some 16 year old kid working at a random paintball shop looking at me like "Holly **** how many paintballs do you wanna shoot with that thing"



DZ: Also it will look a little funnier too because I have a Perrin Front mount, so smoke will just start coming from the front of my car. She will probably think my Radiator exploded or something... And I will tell you in a little bit exactly how many uses it is. I was wondering the same thing actually. I heard it still lasts awhile.

 

here.

 

Just how heat soaked does your average front mount intercooler really get? I thought that the reason to go front mount was to eliminate the intercooler heat soak factor?

I may have to contact Ali G and have him make a special candy award now that I have been reminded that you have a front mount...

 

well, here is the other problem.

you will need to go liquid with the CO2 to get any kind of cooling effect.. I don't *think* that has to happem with N2O, so that would calculate to more use out of the N2O then CO2 as well

 

:rotfl:

 

Ya you have to use Liquid CO2 for it to work, I read somewhere that nitrous is 15 degrees colder then Liquid CO2, so Nitrous will work better then CO2 anyways, I guess its trips to tognotti's i go once i take a nap and then install this kit... Looks like a pretty painless install... Gunna take longer to mount my ricer buttons then to do anything else lol.
