Intercooler spray kit? Does it work?
I have looked and looked, and i cannot find anything on this topic! So don't beat me up to much!
Does an intercooler spray kit really add that much hp to your car or is it a total waste of $?
Is any one using a nitrous intercooler spray kit, and what are your opinions, and what kind of differ. do you notice when you use it?
I would really like to know from 350z owners who really know on the matter, and or who have one themselves.
I don't buy stuff to look cool, i want it to actually do something for me.
Thanks ahead of time for the help.........................And the brow beating!

if you would have taken the time to read the thread instead of pretending you know WTF you are talking about, you would see that whether or not you use a intercooler the whole idea of spraying to get a cooler intake air is basically the same whether it is direct injection or spraying the intercooler itself. so next time, please read and if you are still confused, use google and read the many different product reviews and different used on many makes of cars, research it yourself, and make up your own mind.

I use one on my specv. We hit target whp on the system, then installed the spray kit. With it we were able to fdrop the psi by 2lbs and maintain the same whp numbers. Doing so we kept the same hp but with less stress on the motor. now i dont know how much hp its pulling per pound but im sure we got a good 20whp from the spray kit. Now also understand this is a REALLY high boost 4banger with 3" IC piping.

It was a simple question that he didnt know the answer to! I can understand if it where a typical "newbie" question that could be answered by common sense, but this was a something that needed to be answered by someone with experience.
No need to vent frustration when not needed!

yet i don't see you answering the question or even attempting to do so. he didn't know and i pointed him to the right places where he could read and research himself. there was no call for his response to help.

My friend has both (Water/Meth and Cryo2) and in my opinion it is worthless on the street. There is a delay between spraying you IC and lowering your IAT. IC spray is great if you Drag since you can sit there and spray and get that IC Cold enough before the race. Also you'll be broke if you keep spraying. Water/Meth kit has the same effect but some don't want the risk of spraying Methanol even though the pros out weight the cons.

yes, i even mentioned that. maybe not in so many words but so did a couple others in this same thread. both methods are used to cool down air going into the engine. it is a matter of debate which is better. i offered it to him as an alternative since he said he did a search (which 9 out of 10 times is not true) and found nothing. he got pissy which led to the research it yourself post.
