I've been reading up on these Co2 IC sprayer kits for a couple days now. So I decided to throw one together yesterday. Seeing how these kits go for like $300+ I think mine works great. I probably only spent like $30!
Next time I'm at the track I will see if it actually helps. I tested it earlier today and it damn near froze the whole IC!!!
Materials used:
Paintball tank (free) I have a couple.
Fitting for the co2 tank (can be picked up at a paintball shop or welding supply Co.)
1/4" X 1/8" elbow fitting. part # a-29 (lowes or home depot)
Ice maker connection line, 2500psi burst strength (Lowes is cheaper) I used a 10' section. 5', 10', or 20'
1/4" compression fitting (Lowes ) I used a 3 way fitting so I could make an oval
flexible 1/4 copper tubing (Lowes) I think I used a 5' section.
Oh yeah, and some teflon tap or sealant for the connections.
The most expensive part was the $12 Braided stainless steel line. I am going to pick up a nitrous solenoid off ebay cheap and hook it up to a switch...maybe a WOT switch. hmmm, we'll see.
Actually, I forgot I bought a 5lbs C02 tank today so when I go to the track I'll have enough to mess around with. $65... I figured it was worth it! It only cost $5.50 to fill up the 5 POUND tank and it cost $3 to fill up my 14 ounce tank. How does that make sense!? It's about 3 times cheaper to fill up the big tank. I won't let it sit in my car when filled though. Could be dangerous.
It was either this or a water sprayer.

I need batteries for my digital camera right now. But I'll snap some pics of it installed for you since you don't believe me...
Whatever. people like you piss me off. I guess I'm not turbocharged either since I don't have any pics...
I know pics would be nice, but they're a pain in the ass and besides, you don't have to be such a douchebag about it. But I guess I should expect that from someone named "philly D" lol
geez...

so, how much do you think that solinoid will cost you?
also, i imagine you will have to put some kind of restrictor in the line to make it last longer, rather than dumping all at once, what do you think?
i wonder if it will cause you to go lean, or if the ECU will be able to adjust enough for it?

I found one for $20 used. But there are some for $40
I might install a regulator, but I have to make sure the reg doesn't stop the liquid Co2 from doing its job. it would be salvaged from a paintball gun. Unregulated the Co2 would be coming out at about 800psi. With the paintball reg I could change it anywhere from 100-300psi. maybe even lower.
The ECU should be fine. because with the reflash it runs a little on the rich side. so this might be perfect for bringing my A/F ratio right where I want it. I'll keep an eye on the Wideband tho, just in case.
Nope. no way to tell the actual Temp , but I'm sure it makes a difference. I checked online for an AIT gauge, but the ones I looked at were far too expensive.

cually dude it was a joke...i believe you im intrested..as everyone else says..show pics..more out of intrest..saying you dont expect much from what my name is is just showing your ignorance.
Relax, maybe smoke a j and take it easy. Its a online forum and not all smiles and such or jokes come off exactly as written..either way i was commenting cause i was intrested..but im content being a douche lol
My bad... I didn't take it as a joke. Sometimes they don't come through so good over the net.
As for the douche part... I guess I was a little upset at the time...lol sorry.
I'll try to get some pics...

Looks like a good idea....cheap and effective! Keep us posted on the results.
So what size holes did you drill in the copper line?

I used the smalleset drill bit I had. 1/16"
