Spraying the Intercooler?
I have heard of this before but have never tried it and my friend says it helps out A LOT but im just worried if i am risking anything by doing this...i have spent over 500 dollars on tunning my car and dont want to mess it up by doing something stupid to get an extra 15-20 hp or however much it is...any information would be appreciated thanks.
Hope this isnt a repost i searched and didnt find anything but if it is could you please give me the link to the old post and the mods can delete this one.

Based on experience. It makes a huge difference, esp. on a hot day. It also helps on cold nights but you notice a big difference on hot days.

yeah i was just wondering if it would hurt anything i mean i guess it couldnt really it would just be tricking the engine to thinking the air outside was colder i dont see what harm it could do but i was just curious ....about how much power do you think it gave you?

It's a 338whp Si(b16 trans). And a 268whp LS swap(ls trans) in a 94 Dx coupe(has the intercooler sprayer)
We got bored and wanted to see the difference it made. 40 Rolls.
1st run- LS coupe pulled the Turbo'd Si then the Si got momentum up and came screaming by the LS Coupe.
2nd run- Same thing
3rd run- LS coupe held the button down to spray his intercooler. They took off. LS Coupe pulled and the turbo'd Si never came by. LS Coupe won by 2 cars.
4th run- LS coupe held the button down before race starter. They took off. Ls coupe pulled instantly and the turbo'd Si never came back.
Then the Ls Coupe ran outta nitrous.. so the Si tore us a new one.
It made a big ass difference, but then again, I think it was because both cars were heat soaked from the get go. The LS coupe has a tiny ass intercooler(the halo ring is as big ass the intercooler, lol.)

I've seen Shad dyno an EK a few years back with an N2O intercooler spray. The set-up was gaining anywhere between 25-40 whp. I have one myself. I just havent dynoed my car yet.....
