Default Supercharged guys...anyone try the

N-Tercooler setup from NX?

http://www.nitrousexpress.com/Catalo...ntercooler.pdf





For supercharged or turbo applications where nitrous is not an option, NX offers another alternative, the N-tercooler. Using either nitrous or CO2 this unit can reduce air inlet temperatures dramatically. In a recent dyno test, a turbocharged Honda, equipped with an NX N-tercooler, increased its baseline by an astounding 52 horsepower! If it makes horsepower, it must be Nitrous Express!
seems like it would be beneficial for the Radix

Haven't heard of anyone running that kit, but I've heard of a good amount of people making their own.

Would this work well with an air/water intercooler with the Radix? The PDF says it's good for air/air IC's.

I wonder if you could run a coil of wire in and our of the IC reservoir... and have the juice 'purge' through it?

I guess it might be easier to just dump some ice cubes in there though, huh?

This would not be effective on the water to air intercooler.

Many import guys use this for their turbo setup. It's effective, but runs out quickly, thus gets expensive

Works great on an air to air intercooler. Will not be effective on the water to air set up.

All N02 and CO2 kits like that are for Air to Air intercoolers. I would think spraying water with N02 or C02 would freeze it proving no benifit. When you just spray the air it will drop the air temp itself but by how much I really don't know.


DEI makes kits to use it in fuel, air intake, etc.

I have seen this on a import turbo set up. The tracks dont seem to like that too much cause it waters the track down cause the intercooler starts getting condensation on it and drips pretty bad. Radix people could put it on the Heat Exchanger, Right?

I think you would run the risk of freezing the water in the heat exchanger, thus causing the pump to fry because it wouldn't allow the water to circulate.
