Spraying "Magic Spray " in your Intercooler

Silent9n54 · 05-01-2018, 02:51 PM

i was wondering if anyone tried spraying ice cold "magic soccer spray" on your FMIC in between runs to keep it cool ??? i believe its a mixture of ethyl chloride and water to make it ice like when you spray it...

To small if you mean a spray can for knees etc, race people use fire extinguisher co2

Never thought of that, I definitely would try it if it was easy to obtain.

there is a bunch of different ones on amazon... i know its unbearably cold on your skin.. i think it might do wonders for an intercooler... i dont think it can damage an intercooler just by spraying it... if its ok on your skin should be fine on an intercooler

Think this would be a little more refined, plus it's a universal kit

Just turn a can of compressed air upside down...

my chemistry is a little rusty...won't the chloride from the ethly break off when it comes in contact from water to form hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid?

The vid you posted is unfortunately their liquid co2 system that's ~$600

wonder if the water sprayer would be even noticeable

IMO, the more I research the more I think spray would probably be negligible however its more of a "cool" feature

. What stirs my curiosity and cheaper for daily use would be to route the windshield washers to the intercooler. I don't use my windshield washers so this would be a good option for me. Plus their wouldn't be any extra switches or buttons in the car for a stealth clean look.

Some Subaru STIs came with intercooler spray setups from the factory. You push a button, and water from a tank in the trunk is sprayed on the top-mounted intercooler.

its more for drag racing at the track since these cars heat soak easily while waiting in line ... when cruising and doing pulls fmic does the job great ..no issues there ever

I thought magic spray was for your teeth to be applied right before you do a burn out.

Yea, it just sprays windshield washer fluid, which is about 25-35% methanol the rest is water. (negligible difference) .

If anyone really needs this sort of quick fix, just get a bottle of nitrous and spray it on the intercooler. There is also the C02 sprayers as someone else mentioned.

This is old but a lot of it still applies.

One of the issues with CO2 sprayers is making sure you're not ingesting the CO2 through your air filters. It's a neat concept and has some potential but most of the time if you just end up doing a water/meth injection system you'll get better results.

sloweste9x · 05-03-2018, 03:04 PM

Just run a pump to an atomizer spraying the surface of the intercooler, safer, much easier, and you'll still obtain the cooling effect you're looking for.
