Nitrous Express Ntercooler

What do you guys think of this product from nitrous express?

Quote from their website
"For supercharged or turbo applications where nitrous is not an option, NX offers another alternative, the “N-tercooler”. Using either nitrous or CO2 this unit can reduce air inlet temperatures dramatically. In a recent dyno test, a turbocharged Honda, equipped with an NX “N-tercooler ”, increased its baseline by an astounding 52 horsepower! If it makes horsepower, it must be Nitrous Express!"

Its supposedly supposed to dramatic decrease the temperature of the intercooler thus creating more horsepower. On the website they are advertising the price at 492 dollars. What do you guys think?

i don't think it will work

i thought about getting the n-tercooler sprayer too but it's only for air to air intercooler's. and we have air to liquid intercooler. but that's what i heard and i might be wrong, but if you find out and it does please let me know thanks.

try

DesignEngineering.com They offer CO2-cooled fuel,intake air and intercooler units.There's more than one way to cool the intake charge and increase torque.

Thanks for the link steve. Do you guys think that any of this could be potential harmful? I mean all you are really doing is spraying liguid CO2 into the intercooler.

AMGDood,

The only thing I can think of that could be harmful is depending on the way this sprayer/cooler operates. If it cools the coil, which in turn cools the intercooler radiator and there is no NOS sprayed into the air then there would be no risk. If there is airbourne NOS that is discharged from the sprayer it could potentially get into the air intakes on the front of the car causing a lean mixture and engine damage.

Don't know what CO2 would do.

In a supercharged application, to make more power, we either have to turn up the boost, decrease the temperature of the air going INTO the supercharger (more dense charge), or advance the timing.

Improving intercooler efficiency alone won't make big gains, you'll need to either crank up the boost, or advance the timing to make use of it. The quote on the turbo honda sounds so misleading (read it carefully) hehe.
