Hey Guys,</P>


I have seen advertisements for NX Intercooler sprayer that gives 50 whp. Really??? Anyone installed one??? Any advice on installing it yourself. How long does it last?? Any ill side effects on the engine??Any info would be appreciated.</P>


Thanks,</P>

It probably said "up to 50 hp". It shouldn't hurt the engine at all since the nitrous never enters the engine. From what I've seen they usually add about 35-40 hp.</P>


What they do is spray nitrous oxide on to the intercooler bring the temperature of the intercooler down to freezing temperatures. The colder intercooler makes the intake charge alot cooler. Cooler air = denser air, denser air = more horsepower. The only side effect of it is that your wallet will be a little lighter from having torefill your bottle.</P>

 

The nitrous spraying systems are dangerous. What if you hit the spray to cool off your intercooler and there is a spark from anything close enough to the spray, BOOOOM! Goodbye car and maybe even goodbye you. This is not likely to happen, but you never know. Thats why I always mention CryO2, they use compressed CO2 like a CO2 cartridge powered BB gun. It may cost a little more, but it's a lot safer and it gives the same cooling effect. I have seen demonstrations at a show in 90+ degree summer heat and it frosted the intercooler up like a freezer. CO2 is probably cheaper and easier to get refilled as well. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0">

 

i believe in the mopar stage 3 turbo kit a ic chiller kit will be included, so start saving up $ now!

 

I purchased the CryO2 system and spent most of the day doing a clean install with two of my racing friends. We were preping for a run @ the Talledega Grand Prix speedway. We were stoked for that first run and ....... NOTHING<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">. Maybe the slight gains of a cool day (1-3hp). Obviously pissed I called the performance parts place that sold it to me. They reluctantly informed me of an article that they read inSport Compact Car (October issue). I later read thesame article. Wedecided that the same programing in the CPU thatmonitors the intake air temp and adds boost when intake airincreases alsoworks against you when intake airis decreased. Leaving me with a very expensive grillornament.</P>


I am open to any sugestions.</P>

 

Can you remove the air intake temp sending unit from your intake and leave it fastened/secured off to the side and use a plug for the hole? If possible, this should show the computer the ambient air temperature instead of the actual cooler air charge that is going into the motor. Or perhaps relocating the sensor forward from the intercooler so it gets it's readings before the air is cooled. An older trick is to disconnect the computer for a few minutes right before a run, this will put the computer in to learn mode making it allow more boost and make greater use of the cooler air charge. Because it is in learn mode it will need to readjust to all conditions and it will not be able to limit the boost,as much as it is suppose to, until you have already made your pass. Don't worry about too much boost and too little fuel, it will supply enough fuel reguardless, it will keep the A/F ratio in check, but it will allow more boost than usual as it learns. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

I'm not trying to pick a fight, but all over the net there are those that say yes and no about this topic. I may be wrong but isn't NO2 Non Flammable ( Green diamond label )<FONT size=2>meaning that it wont catch on fire by itself </FONT>?When NO2 is released, and the temperature reaches 300 deg it will separate into Nitrogen and two parts Oxygen. So if there is a spark and there is enough O2 then you will have a hot spark. But without a continuous fuel supply, NO2 will not go BOOM.</P>


Also NO2is a oxidizerandis corrosive. Over time this will eat away at what you are spraying.</P>


</P>


Peace.

first of all, its n2o, not no2. no2 is a different gas all together.
second, you are correct that nitrous oxide by itself is not
flamable . when it is combined with oxygen and compressed,
then it becomes volitile. and to the best of my knowledge,
n2o is not corrosive. otherwise they wouldn't give it to you
at the dentists office.

I have it on mine. Dyno at 28 WHP.</P>


</P>


And nitrous is NOT explosive. It's an oxidyzer...</P>

Oops I didn't notice..LOL big_n8_dawg you are correct on the N2O not NO2 My bad.. <IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0"></P>


The N2O that is used in the dentists chair is not the same grade as for autos.But being that the N2O is an oxidizer is will over time pit any metal that you spray. As to why it doesn't oxidize the internals of an engine, it that there is fuel and oil to help lubricate the internals. </P>
