Anyone Use Co2 Ic Sprayers?

[npaulseth]

I can't afford one now, but was thinking that it wouldn't be a waste of money.

Anyone think this is a bad idea/waste of money?

Thanks.

They do make a difference, sometimes big, sometimes small, depending on your set-up and your outside airtemps & humidity. Any time you can make the charge air temps colder (and more condensed) you will make more power with less chance of detonation.

Looks like a makeable part to me

looks like just some brake line bent into a circle with some small holes drilled into it. a solenoid valve and the bottle. you could easily make that for under $100 depending one the price of the bottle. the AN line, solenoid valve would be under $50 and you could make the sprayer part.

I started to make one a while back for my stock ic. I couldn't figure out how to mount it to the ic. I have some braided line laying here and I bent some coppertubing and drilled holes. Never tired it or installed it though.

I jsut looked at the link. That looks quite expensive. If I were going to buy something for that much I would look into the NX Ntercooler kit. not much more money on ebay and ~400 from a vender. They are proven. My fittings and copper tubing cost maybe $5. I had the lone laying around and I could get a cheap ball valve for ~5. That leaves my total to ~$10 and finding a bottle (actually I have a 15# bottle but am not sure if they would fill it. Don't know the specs).

if people are paying that much for those DIY kits i think ill start making them. anyone know how much just those bottles go for?

how much would it cost to refill co2 and what kind of place would do that?

You could take the bottle to a paintball gun shop place to be refilled, it cant be too expensive, maybe 5-10 bucks.

Its only about $2 at a paintball shop

Ive read that some peoples air filter have actually sucked the C02 into it after it passed through the IC, all depends of locations of course, but hurting performance all together....

It's about $20 for the 10 lb refil. The bottle is like $76 for a 10 lb'er. Could make for under $200 with a WOT switch.

If you're sucking the hot air off the back of the radiator you need to do something about it anyway.

where can i get a bottle from? i can only find small ones for paint ball guns. any idea on how long a bottle will last?

Toll Gas and Welding Supplies. Apple Valley.

$76 for the $10 lb bottle and $20 for the co2. You can easily sell the bottle for that on ebay when your done.
