Intercooler Sprayer
Intercooler Sprayer
This is coming from a concerned G35 owner that is a little worried about the restrictive bumper we have. I was looking at the Cry02 system from Design Engineering, that has an optional intercooler sprayer. I'm concerned about heat soak moreso than performance, would this be a viable system? Any opinions would be appreciated.
If I have to I'll replace the bumper but I really like the stock look right now.

IC coolers are a great idea...even moreso for the G35, and for hot drag racing events. I plan to install one on our shop car soon.

you da man sharif! Nice, looks like I'll be placing an order soon. Is that everything you need for the kit? And you can use CO2 with that system right?
I was interested in a system that would spray at WOT... I dont know much about how that would work.

Cryo is fine for track and occasional street use, but proper air flow and possibly an intelligent water spray is more reliable and cheaper overall.
It's novell and a nice "adder" , but not something you should "hang your hat on".
Also heatsoak can be an issue "well below" a WOT event , depending how aggressively you are tuned. You can destroy an engine even at partial throttle under load and severe heatsoak , if not tuned conservatively enough to take the worst case soak event into account.
Your best "first" consideration should be better airflow over the FMIC as opposed to attempting a bandaid. The Cryo setup is not intended to solve heatsoak in a repeatable , reliable fashion IMO.
If you want streetable relaiblity look toward waht the OEMs tend to do with Turbo systems.
a) open up air flow over the IC.
b) sometimes add water spray as the case with the WRX (which really has the worst case IC placement when heatsoak is considered.

Tony, I have the real sollution sitting on my desk. You are welcome to come by and take a look at it, or you can wait for the data I will be posting soon

good points..and of course..if you go with an aftermarket open bumper, then you can show-off the intercooler AND IC sprayer. Functional, and asthetically pleasing.

I'll be there tomorrow for sure. You know I'm just getting so anxious about this whole thing. Infiniti is the only thing holding me back from doing the install right now.
