Anyone run something like this??

think about all the tiny pieces of dust and dirt that your truck inhales while pulling, with that thing freezing intercooler you could take a chance on choking the inside of the cooler. they work but i dont thing that they would work very well in the dusty enviroment. also you'll probably end up hearing a racket like over on the ts nitrous discussion. :blahblah1::blahblah1:
 
I dont think that it would be a problem in a pulling truck, think about it i run itpa and no air filter, if you sucking up enough stuff that would freeze and clog up you intercooler from using this, you are in trouble anyways. The little bit of dust and whatnot the turbo does munch on is not enough to hurt anything much less freeze cause you are shooting your intercooler with nitrous or co2. I would be interested in getting one and using co2, but i would have to engine dyno everything to see if any improvements. I think it might be worth the money. To me the intercooler needs a liitle something else, cause we are not going 60mph down the road to cool the intake air down a whole lot. Im intersted in this product. I second, does anyone use one?
 
IF Im not mistaken, Joh Robinson runs a set up like that on his funny car. His intercooler sits parallel to the ground and i guess that simulates air flow.

But is there any rule in the pulling books that dont allow that???? I think it cold help for the guys not running Air/water intercoolers or Water Injecton.....
 
Pretty sure most big organazations say nitrous bottles must be unhooked and removed from vehicle. Looks like it would be useful though. Much like running an air water IC
 
Well Most rules I look at dont say anything about that, I plan on using Co2 instead of nitrous. And I plan on running a seperate line for a fire supressant system and emergency kill switch at the turbo.

Our rules with KOTTPA state No Nitrous or Propane. All Bottles Must Be Removed. I think NADM's Rules also have something similar.
 
I always wondered w/ CO2 how you keep the engine from sucking in excess and choking it out? Unless you used an enclosed bulb or something similar

I know that bragg....lol but it is CO2, NOT nitrous or propane, and if it is used as a on board fire supressant they cant really say much.

Gammon ran a spray bar on his intercooler for a few pulls, but decided that it wasnt really worth it. They went to a Water to Air IC shortly after. Also since it is CO2 I would be a little concerned about some of it getting sucked into the intake which would actually hurt the performance.

Ah ic Well I have a solution to that problem as well. Also some rules dont allow W/A intercoolers.

Yes on Texas Diesel power funny car we run the cryo system on the intercooler which sprays CO2 but before it sprays on the IC it passes through bulbs which are welded to the inside of the intake piping that get freezing cold.

What kind of noticable diffrenct in EGT drop are yall seeing?

off the top of my head im not sure on the egt drop but the inlet air temperature dropped a couple hundred degree's. and this is with a Joe Hellman built Intercooler. Works very well.
