Title: Co2 Spray\'s
Post by: Sean on November 16, 2004, 07:17:02 PM
Has anyone tried this, as I am considering this as a cheap mod, but I don\'t know how to use it effectively, nor how much I would gain.

Could anyone shed some light on this for me.

Cheers,
Sean (being a bit thick):wave

Don\'t they just use a spray bar to cool the intercooler and should see a 10C or more drop in charge temperature. Does exactly the same as an Ntercooler (from NX), with the benefit that CO2 is dirt cheap and easy to come by.

I spoke to a chap with a 13second Orion:eek:  who uses one, he rekons it improves performance a lot and is cheap. I was wundering if anyone on here has done it?

Also, how would it be used? A short burst before a sprint, a continuos stream?

Is it very effective on a standard IC?

I just don\'t have a clue, thats my problem:rolleyes:

I have heard just use a water spray bar or jets, it can be made up of any washer jet system from a scrap yard. If its good enough for Scoob STI\'s, why not....

I suggested that to the bloke with the Orion, he said that CO2 is much colder than water, and hence more effective. Plus it\'s cheap and easy to refil.

I think I\'ll try doing it myself ...... How hard can it be?:bandit

On another note ...... anyone know anything about water injection? Or would running the two be overkill, and cause problems with the inlet temps being too cold!:confused:

Hi,
Just make sure that the air filter has no way of sucking any residue into the inlet tract, as this will be fatal.
