What is this thing attached to the intercooler? I see some SS/SC's with them and I've always wondered what they are. Thanks!

 

Looks like a Tranny oil cooler....

 

intercooler sprayer, some spray water some spray co2 to help dissipate heat and cool the air or fluid in the intercooler or heat exchanger

 

whinna!

 

lol well since thats a nx nitrous solenoid, i'm going to guess an intercooler sprayer

 

its a sprayer to clear out the air in the intercooler, or inject NOS

 

..the question has already been answered lol why have 3 people posted the same thing

 

lol, the first couple posts were made while i was typing

 

lol gotta be quiker

 

if you buy one and strap it onto your radiator... you'll gain like 20 horsepower. even if you don't drive a boosted car.

now, seriously... i always wondered if you attached one to an air-to-liquid heat exchanger (like on the SS/SC)... would it work as effectively as an air-to-air intercooler? normally, i wouldn't think so because of the heat exchange rate of liquids versus air... but i didn't know if anyone actually has put one on an SS/SC heat exchanger?

 

it will work it just wont do as much as it would to an air to air. but anything to take away the heat from our cars is a good thing

 

called a spraybar or a nitrous spraybar...just cools down the intercooler so the turbo gets colder air.

 

The turbo will never see that cooler air...... :P

 

correct that air is after the turbo already

 

a majority of the gains come not from cooling the intercooler but from nitrous making its way into the intake

 

2k is testing one on his ss/sc. go look up his posts and see what his knowledge says. im too lazy to find it my self but he dyno tested a kit

 

You wouldnt be able to put one of these on a stock SS, but if you have a cobra or aftermarket HE it would work great.

 

Wow, have you read a Super Street, D-Sport, Import Tuner, Sport Compact Car, Modified or a Turbo magazine in the last 5 years? lol. Thats an intercooler spray bar. Its mists the intercooler with N20, thus super cooling the intercooler air, resulting in some extra hp. NX, NOS, DEI and Edelbrock all have such offerings in their product catalogs.

 

we have said this 3 times already

 

I have not read Super Street, D-Sport, Import Tuner, Sport Compact Car, or any other car magazine for that matter. I simply asked a question, which, people have already answered for me. So thanks for reminding me, as well as everyone else who reads this thread, that I don't read car magazines and that I am not a car god.
