hey guys, i figured this would be a good place to inquire about this for my vehicle. its in the sig. i can buy the starter kit locally for $380 CND. also i think that intercool-sprayer is a pretty cool option

Its a good idea, but expensive for the results.

NX sells an intercooler sprayer that is cheaper. It's called the n-tercooler.

what kind of results do u think it gain hp wise, from the Design Engineering kit? just intercooler, as well as the unti that goes in the intake tube?
so i just finished reading up on the n-tercooler they claim an additional 52 hp on a civic what do u think i might gain?

 

An 11-degree (F) dencrease in charge temperature can increase power output by about one percent.

I don't believe the Civic numbers, but I do believe that the intercooler sprayer and the fuel bars would net about 3-4ths in the quarter. The air bulb would probaby help too, but who knows.

Lets look beyond initial cost.

Filling a nitrous bottle @ $4/lb can get pricey real quick. You look at $40 for a 10 lb bottle fill. I am not sure how long the NX Cooler will last on one bottle but it looks like not really long.

I buy 60 Lb cylinders of CO2 for around $23. I could recharge the CO2 system alot of times on a cylinder, plus that is something you can do yourself very inexpensively (anyone ever been paintballing?) Now to fill N2O requires a costly pump system and isn't really for the do-it-yourselfer.

I like this idea!! except i would need 2 spray bars (ATI Twins)

so basically i figured out here that i should run the setup, cause im not looking for a huge increase in hp, it is only a v6.

these prices are CND:

CO2 tank and installation kit - $380
intercooler sprayer - $120
intercooler fan 10" - $60

it'll be safer for the engine than injecting NOS
the CO2 is cheaper to refill
i'll have a different setup that no one else has

Hey SMOKNZ where exactly would i be able to buy CO2 tanks to fill my bottle at home?

 

Welding supply shop will have them. You will probably have to make an initial purchase of a tank, or they may rent one out to you. You will need to get a siphon tank, that way you get the liquid, not the gas. To fill your smaller tank you need to add a little liquid co2 and then vent it to make the bottle really cold so it will accept a full charge of liquid. Then fill your bottle again. Thats the way they do it when i go paintballing, and it isn't a very fancy setup either, just a bottle connector, some braided line and a few ball valves.
