Supercharger Question????

[boca1]

i have comptech s/c...and i wass wondering if anyone has sprayed the outside of the blower with nitrous to keep it cooler when w.o.t.......

simalar to how turbo guys spray there intercooler but we would spray the blower......any info will help

[NIGHTHAWKSI]

why not just spray a small wet shot into the intake? maybe 35?

dont push it too far since you dont want to damage anything, but a 35 shot will give you about 280whp and also cool the air being taken into the motor.
i dont think spraying the outside of teh blower will do much good at all.....

[boca1]

no i dont want to spray the motor.....i am just looking to get things cooler

[NIGHTHAWKSI]

spraying the outside fo the motor isnt going to be worth it. the heat of the motor and the depressurization of the nitrous as soon as its sprayed wont cool down the motor as much as youd think.

just put a bag of ice on the blower before runs, they sell those at the track for a reason

somebody i spoke to was wanting to run methanol, to cool things down..

could one of you guys who knows more than me elaborate on this :)

Running Meth is never the answer....... oh.... you mean Methynol...... uh....

hey, i'm not thinking of it - it was just something someone said at a meet i was last at.(its methanol btw, and it's just an injection to cool the air rather than intercool the SC)


I'll be happy with my SC when i get it on this saturday, ECU goes off today

The way to properly cool down intake temps on a supercharger would be with an aftercooler, but that doesnt apply to twin screw type superchargers.

Water injection, and methanol are also solutions for "cooling things" but its cooling the air/fuel mixture so you can produce more power.

spraying a 35 shot on a F/I car will prob give you more than 35. usually F/I creates a lot more heat so it will show up more. and i say try that, or a 25 shot which i think is possible with some kits

there is a shop here locally that is going to make me a after cooler!!...

I think there are 4 solution for this matter. You can always use nitrous, meth/h20 (depending if you're going to use 100% meth or 50/50), race gas, or aftercooler (if you're supercharged).

correct, F/I will work as twice as fast than it normally does. 35 shot is reasonable but a 25 shot?!?

[k20beast]

hey i mean a 25 shot could end up being around 50 of a F/I car...
