N2O damage from intercooler sprayer???

what are the potential damage that can happen with a N20 intercooler sprayer? Could the cold blast enbrittle the surrounding rubber hoses and plastic componenets? Explosion from contact with hot exhaust componenets?

CO2 a better solution?

The bottle could leak, fill your cabin with nitrous and you could suffocate.

At least that would be more fun than asphyxiating from CO2.

laughing gas? nah... its not all that bad - go to the dentist, they have the strongest form of nitrous!

what is the downfall of N2O when compared to CO2? N2O = $5 / lb, and harder to find than CO2 = $1 / lb....

what is the downfall of CO2 when compared to N2O? CO2 is a fire extinguisher, and can stall out the motor if ingesting into the intake track... so my intake and the HAI are both out of the question! no. 1 reason why i don't spray the CO2 right now - no. 2 is that is REALLY cold outside!!

build a ginormous power bulge on the bonnet to accomodate a large bag of ice.

Build compact ice maker in boot of mini. Fabricate automated feeding system from ice maker to power bulge.

Your power bulge will be very cold. Note any shrinkage.

Lasting I checked welding grade nitrous has additives to prevent human consumption (ie abuse). Food grade and medical grade are different.

N2O is N2O right? Can't be nitrous oxide if it isn't N2O.... How can there be various grades? Use better Nitrogen I guess. Maybe from cows instead of pigs since we know about the strength of cow flatulation.

Seriously, how are the various grades done? Different additives?

Welding grade contains sulfur dioxide. The differene between the other two grades probably has something to do with impurities. I guess its like saying "Water is water."

Hehe... I always thought the I/C hood air scoop looked like the perfect place to insert a block of dry ice for an hour or so of fun
