may be a bright idea (prob not
but......
as i understand it NOS is an inert (sp?) gas and is very cold, so would it be
1. possible
2. cost effective
3. make much difference
to rig up a intercooler NOS system? similar to water spray.
if all of the above items are met, then this could be a way of obtaining power without engine damage.
Just a thought
waits with one arm already in coat
but......

Here's a question.
How many BHP's does air-con use when on.?
How many BHP's would you gain if the cold air produced by the air-con comming out of your vents were redirected into the filter/airintake?
Would the cold air feed into the engine gain more power than the air-con reducing power?

Erm...
You could do the same thing with a carton of anything that rapidly expands from a canister - including normal compressed air. I think NOS is a cheap 'bang for buck' to fit, but is actually quite expensive to run... compressed air, if you can find a supplier, wouldn't be, though! I think there are some serious complication of how the tank can be mounted in the car, though, compressed gas being the explosive thing that it is.
Make much of a difference? I think it may be easier - although rather more dull & conventional - to just stick in an FMIC
If/when the compressed gas runs out mid-power run it could be a tad expensive too!

available as a product called "n-tercooler" or summint.
Given that liquid N20 is about 1/4 Oxygen by weight, I wouldn't use the word "inert", I think "oxidising agent" may be closer!

you can actualy rig up a carbon di-oxide outlet, and mount it over the top of the intercooler...gives the same effect, and it cost about £5 to fill the bottle......i have the very same kit going on my Apexi GTspec front mount when it arrives from Japan.
looks mint when it vents, the look on peoples faces at the lights hehehehehehe..." HIS CAR IS ON FIRE " well actualy......WWWWWWAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrr ppHHHCCCSSHhhhhhhhhh WWWWWWAAAAAArarrrrrrrrrrr....heheheheh
but ony on private roads of course..

Sorry in advance for dragging up this old thread
Forget my original idea (NOS) Co2 is the way to go
I recieved my 2004 D**** Twee*s catalogue yesterday (and in a Victor Meldrew voice 'I DONT BELEIVE IT') you can buy a complete kit that will not only spray the intercooler but the air intake and fuel rail as well.
no BHP claims or figures yet, but does sound like a good idea 
anyone got one ?

oh old thread... ahh, I'll reply anyway. 
(bored)
at £40 a fill for the NOS i'd be looking to blow it in the intake not over the fins
However, as already stated, the CO2 idea is much more cost efficient, over the fins that is..
Now all I have to do is to contact my freindly Innkeeper, I have a fair few old CO2 bottles from my early welding days.
(thinks.. will one go accross the boot???)

Why would you want to cool the fuel rails? surely hot fuel atomises better so has better knock resistance.
Only if you're using too small swirl pot and your fuel is gassing in the lines, which is a problem i'm sure not many of us have
CO2 on the intercooler sounds fun though, i'll wait for the results from you guys though.
