ok this is not a question about will water cooling be as good as air to air if i ice it so dont just tell me to read the sticky. what im asking is if i hook up the nitrous spray for intercooler to the radiator of a water cooled system will it cool about as well as icing it down, will it cause possible cracking of the radiator from dramatic changes in temperature, is the spray a reliable cooler, and is there any difference in the coolant factor between N2O and CO2? i need to know because i need the room in my engine compartment for some other things so i want to go water cooled to save room.

thought of that before, should work decently, do'nt know how much but u can find out. -

I would just spary water on there.
I think because coolant caries so much more heat than air the CO2 wouldn't realy do a hole lot.

it does with standard intercoolers. the principle behind it is when you release a gas from a compressed state to the atmosphere it gets extremely cold, i cant remember the whole scientific reason right now but trust me it does even compressed air gets cold when this happens. if you dont believe me go ask someone whith a paintball gun if they can empty their CO2 bottle for you extremely fast and then feel the bottle. if its not cold to the touch i,ll eat my radiator.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhardComment

It's not just blowing CO2 gas on it that cools it so greatly. If that were the case then it wouldn't do much better than air moving across it. The reason it gets so cold is that when the CO2 is at ~1500-2000 psi it is in a liquid state in the tank; at least some of it is. And when you release it to atmosphere it quickly expands, and while expanding it changes phase from a liquid to a gas. This process takes a lot of energy and that energy comes in the form of heat that the coolant is carrying and conducting through the small radiator.
If you want to know more about it look up "heat of vaporization", "latent heat", or "hfg"(f and g are subscript) of CO2 on the internet.Wayne<br />94 5 spd Camaro<br />Turbo/Intercooled<br /> <a href=\"http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.geocities.com/Mustang732/cars.htm</a> <br /><br />Megasquirt Stand-alone EFI controling fuel/spark w/ wideband:<br /> <a href=\"http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html\" target=\"_blank\">http://home.att.net/~basic-4/2ndMegasquirt/NewMegasquirt.html</a>Comment
