Thought I would share with you fellows as you obviously wouldnt get this mag over in the UK...
Basis of the test is a mildly modded S15 making 195kW ATW, testing water cooling the intercooler, using a spray of NOS to cool the intercooler and then using dry ice to cool the intercooler. A dyno run was done after each time. No changes to timing, or boost levels made.
195kW ATW, 39 degrees celsius intake temp - air cooled core.
218kW ATW, 34 degrees celsius intake temp - water cooled core.
240kW ATW, 26 degrees celsius intake temp - nitros oxide cooled core.
254kW ATW, 16 degrees celsius intake temp - dry ice cooled core.
Proper credit before I go any further the article was in a mag called Zoom, by Martin Donnon.
Just thought I would put that out there as it amazed me - I thought 25-30kW might have been gained, but not 50+! Having said that though the intake temp. has been more than halfed. The article certainly gives a tad of credability to the people I have always mocked that use water spray kits on their intercoolers.
Even if you dont go and buy a water spray one kilo of dry ice (about $8 AUD) packed around the end tanks at a dyno shoot-out would be a handy advantage
