Damn dude, good idea!
Boy do I love going back over my work lol NOT. Well so I got the chiller bar secured pretty damn snug actually with fishing line. Really hard to see the line ..even to tie it lol! Which is a big reason I chose it. There's a little tension on that nitrous line to bend like that and it didn't budge. And you can't even see the knots on the back side. Now the button needs to be wired and it's play time! 
Its all done. Now I'll have to make a video or something to show what it looks like and how effective it is. Wiring is mad simple even for me. This is the diagram for the dry shot. So the purge kit includes another solenoid and not another arming switch, so ground new solenoid, and run the other wire into the car to the button, then tap into the wire from the other button from the dry shot to arming switch. Tested and each solenoid is armed with the same arming switch, then each is individually activated.
Should have some data tomorrow. Video before weekend is over.

I tried to make a video and during the video I had a nice little nitrous leak, fixed it but then the bottle pressure dropped to 300 psi and basically was empty. Got it filled yesterday and they said it had 9oz left...at 300 psi bottle pressure no wonder it didn't work. Bottle pressure needs to be between 950-1100 psi. So next morning I ran a street Dragy quarter mile with no nitrous. I'll redo the chiller bar presentation and do another street quarter mile Dragy with the chiller bar and small 15 shot see how that improves things.
Real quick I still have some tweaks to do with this setup. I tried purging the IC with bottle pressure in the 700 psi range with little to no effect on IAT2. I will have to heat the nitrous bottle up to at least 950 psi for it to work correctly it seams. The purge solenoid I believe is the same solenoid for the dry shot, I'll have to double check that. Zex did recommend running a nitrous bottle to each mainly bc they thought the chiller bar would use up my 5lb bottle quick. But also the purge is designed to rid the lines of vapors...but it should spray liquid after that.
On another note, it appears I am at capacity for my new IC. I don't know what is an acceptable tolerance of temp over ambient ...So I don't know what supports "up to" 700 hp means. First observation is that my IAT2 drops a good amount to match ambient....but starts increasing IAT2 temps after around 40mph or so. An unusual sight for sure. Normally with meth I'll see IAT2 plummet to ambient and stay there...sometimes dip even lower. Now it's going back up to as much as 16° over ambient.
I do have some things to address. Now nearly half the IC is buried in the impact bar so I have since notched a very large opening in the impact bar on the bottom. Upon reinstalling I noticed on the IC inlet side, the length of pipe I have coming off the y pipe from both turbos is quite long, bc it's so long, it actually looks to be stretching the silicone 90° elbow in a way that decreases the overall diameter. Before I conclude my IC is inadequate, I'll need to check for improvements with the opening I made for increased airflow, and if that doesn't help I'll cut some of the pipe and let the 90° elbow open up a bit. If that doesn't help then it unfortunately will be a failure. Not sure if I'll replace with something larger or work around it, attacking it with meth nozzles pre turbo.
Its at 20 psi boost, yeah it'll get hot but this is not something I had to deal with when I had the GH IC. I also have the phenolic spacer coming Thursday. So we'll see what that can do. More than likely this is what Im going to work with so we'll see how it goes. If I'm losing 20hp and 20 torque from increased heat...maybe that's a good thing...maybe it has less of a chance at bang bang lol

I would imagine if the full face of the intercooler was open to the air, this would be less of an issue. The bottom of it is basically heat soaked and not cooling, so I'm sure that radiates upward into the area that is exposed. In regards to the no2, that sucks that it didn't work out as well due to temp. Hit it will a torch before you do a pull to warm it up, then full send!

I would buy a electric warmer. Just remember to turn it off. Torches compromise the structural integrity of the bottle. I know....I have used them for years. However, I had a frozen bottle fail while getting it filled. Scared the crap out of me and the dude filling the bottle. Ever since then, electric warmers have been used along with hot warm baths before the bottle goes into the car.
Ok so for the next attempt I'll give the bottle a warm bath and slowly bring pressure up with a heat gun. Also I do want to check meth nozzle spray ...don't want to forget to check that. It's spraying bc of my STFT but maybe it's partially clogged.

With hot enough water you can get the bottle to 1150 to 1200 psi. Mount it, wrap it in a blanket. Getting the bottle from 1200 to 1100 with the purge will cool your IC. Also spray our IC and your small nitrous shot together going down the track. Both will be fine at 1100 psi. I always ran all of my nitrous set up at 1050 to 1100 psi and never had issues.
I ended up hitting the bottle with my heat gun. Not as safe as hot water but a lot safer than a blow torch. Blow torch makes the pressure rise in seconds whereas, the heat gun took about 5 min to go from room temperature and 700 psi to 1000 psi. Gave the chiller bar a purge and yeah...it works marvelously. Caught it on film to share soon. Couple pics after and the chiller bar itself was frozen for a while after. This was 5 seconds of purging.

Any chance you can make a run down the track without a driver side headlight housing?

Lol the only way I would end up with one headlight missing is bc it's now a huge turbo

Much better if sprayed into the driver's face. When someone wants to race, you must WHIPPIT!

Es Aich Oh!
If you’re purging it, why not make use of it? Pretty smart if you ask me.

He has a dry shot on the car. He needs to run both at the same time.
Should call it SHOZero after Subzero from Mortal Kombat but I freeze myself instead of my opponent lol
