So you’re saying the nitrous that is being dumped onto the IC would NOT be better off dumped into the IC? Ohhhhkaaaayyy

So you are suggesting he purge his nitrous system into the IC, before his run? Not sure how useful N2O is at an idle.

It’s being suggested he purge the whole way down the track
I know what you mean, I was thinking spraying the IC exterior would make a big difference, and maybe it does in terms of just ambient air hitting it. Nitrous inside would be a much better use of it and way more effective than spraying only the exterior surface of the IC. That's why I decided to keep my jet in the IC to TB pipe. Purging with the chiller bar uses a lot of nitrous and isn't taking advantage of its full potential...So I think I'll just purge the IC chiller bar while brake boosting and into 1st, switch over to the jet pre TB in second gear and hold it down until the run is over.

Exactly. I would purge and chill the intercooler after going around the water box. That will precool the IC while setting the proper pressure. Once he launches, I would purge the IC and spray the dry shot together. That will keep the IC colder going down the track, the IATs will stay even lower with meth and the dry shot of nitrous.
I would also start thinking about a 10 lbs CO2 bottle dedicated just to the IC spray bar as well.
Hit the nail on the head buddy with a dedicated CO2 bottle. I took the SHO out for some moving pics...which overall came out awesome but my friend who took the pics had his shudder speed at a blistering 500...So almost all the moving highway pics it looks like my car is parked on the interstate...frozen in time at 75mph hahaha! So I wanted to take some super fast pics of the chiller bar spraying...well my 5lb bottle was empty. So the 5 seconds of fame I'll share later emptied the entire 5lb bottle. So I'm NOT doing that again...it'll have to be CO2 or nothing.

Yes sir. Sometimes I know what I am talking about.
So now that the chiller bar is gone I have installed another nitrous jet pre IC of a small 15 shot to cool everything internally rather than dumping 5 pounds of nitrous on top of the exterior of the IC. I took all my cut IC pipes out and had them bead rolled, and upon reinstall I noticed the EPP front turbo “S” shaped silicone coupler smooshed and nearly about to come off, so that for a haircut and is now secure and not smooshed! Maybe just maybe this will get some road time!

As always, looking good! I’m curious what your IAT2 temps will look like compared to freezing the outside of the IC.

When I tried using it while driving it didn’t do anything as far as my charge air temps on my gauge in my car. The one time I got it to work I filmed it while my GF pressed the button and I didn’t realiW this emptied my bottle. Also when I removed the chiller bar the line off the solenoid was finger tight so I assume it was leaking as well. Hard to check the after the solenoid connections alone bc to find out you need to be able to watch and push the button. I only checked the lines leading to the solenoid and solenoid by myself after opening the valve on the bottle, have to press the button to check after the solenoid but I apparently forgot to tighten the line after with a wrench.

I might be doing a chiller bar with co2 probably next year, focus now is weight reduction. I did however get a really good deal on a 20lbs bottle, so I at least have that going for me.
Aside from that, nice pipes!

I have the chiller bar and 5 lbs CO2 bottle. All I need is a nitrous purge kit and I am in business. I will do some data logging and see what happens with IAT's when the time comes.

There was a guy with a subbie that had a chiller bar doing dyno pulls, was showing like 15-20 degree intake temps at 90+ amb. That's what gave me the idea originally to do mine.
I think the chiller bar will work......I just changed my mind about it with nitrous after seeing how taxing it was to bottle pressure without a dedicated heater and it ate my small bottle. It’ll be much for effective and efficient with money to just inject a 15 shot right inside it instead.
