Slim fans on Intercooler!?!?
So far I've seen products that work like heat sinks that cool the charge pipes. Also the intercoolers using co2...what about good 'ol fans?
Any one try this yet? Co2 is a pain in the butt and the co2 cooled intercoolers r expensive....would slim fans on the back of the intercooler increase their cooling potential?

it would help at very slow speeds and idle but will (i would think) hinder airflow at speed. may be better to do a water sprayer on the intercooler to increase cooling. You could come up with a homemade system with parts picked from the junkyard for fairly cheap.
however prolly wont be track legal (they dont like fluids being sprayed at the track, they tend to frown on that.)

Yeah one less thing in the loop if you can use an output that's great.
Hydroponics store was the only place that had anything like I was looking for. I've never done a drug in my life That's a fact.
Put some crown in front of me that's a different story....

I just used the stock setup for one and left the washer nozzles useless. Just cleaned the windshield every once in a while at the gas station while filling up. But that would work for sure.

i need my windshield wiper fluid though for snow. and it always rains up here and its like a dirty rain so theres always residue. ill have to find out if the drag strip up here is against that.....i might just do a custom co2 sprayer.
