Default NX intercooler cooler

Has anyone installed one of these? I just bought one with the bottle opener and wanted to know if anyone had any tips for the install or use. I also got the bottle opener.

Everyone will say your not really cooling your FMIC, and instead your using a dry shot. Watch...

Ive seen it work on a Vortech, the pipes on the FMIC to the intake were almost frosted because they got so cold. You should install a purge valve too that would be cool. Have it come out the side where the Z logos are on the fenders.

yeah we have seen up to 35hp gains on the dyno using the NX intercooler sprayer kit. We have seen big changes with the intake temps on the dyno.

how much did you pay, total, for your sprayer and opener? have you installed it yet? what are your impressions? it'd be great if you could do a review.

If they did spray on the run . They would more than likely suck up some in the air intake..depending where it is

You gonna hook yours up like Jons G35 at Zcargarage? Man what a difference it makes. His car makes about 440 or somewhere around that. When we do roll on's together were pretty even but i manage to edge him out a little. This one time he pulled on me like nothing and i kept telling him he sprayed on me, but he denied it. It chills the piping incredibly.

Do you spray NOS or CO2. I read you could use both. What is the advantage of NOS or CO2?

so why not just add a 35 shot into your intake that will be hell more efficient (cost per shot)then spaying the cooler !
