I've been thinking about spraying a low psi for a number of benefits, my question is will it damage the intercooler? I've heard spraying nitrous causes a problem and wondered if alky would harm anything. Thanks for your help!

Here is a page on where to place your nozzle. - Where to put your alcohol-water injection nozzle DevilsOwn Injection
Its not going to hurt your intercooler or anything else. I personal have my nozzle in a tb spacer and i have a thrasher intercooler it sprays thru.

Aparently over time it will strip the coating off of the rotors, reducing the blowers efficiency. I replaced my nice shiny rotors with coated ones, but didn't really notice any measurable gain.Originally Posted by silvermistGT

thats a myth. spraying things through the blower doesnt take the coating off.

Thanks for the information everyone. Good to know it won't hurt anything.

the things that strip the coatings off the rotors are stuff like carb cleaner or starter fluid. also rocket468, i missed that link to that faq lol. good read there.

I have been running alky for 3 years and 65k miles on the car and i have all the teflon. I believe the teflon coating is luck of the draw. Some people it just come off even with nothing being sprayed. Some people run all sorts of things carb clearn, xylene etc thur it and it stays on the rotors. Now with the alky does do is help clean the chambers. https://www.alcohol-injection.com/fo...fits-1212.html

definitely not a myth. Hopefully the guy that used to work at a machine shop where they rebuilt these will step in.

I am going to have to back Lee on this one.

say what you want, still a myth. you can spray all you want and the rotors will only naturally wear on their own. the spraying does nothing to affect this.

Your telling that to the guy with shiny rotor after 20k miles.
PRJ would confirm what happens to the rotors and well as Trannyman, if he sees this thread.
01-10-2008
you have 20k miles on yours and they are bare, what where you spraying? And how much.
I have 65k on mine and i have ran 20 or so bottles of 75 shot of nitrous thru it and also had alky injection for 3 years.
I really just think its a crap shoot weather or not your Teflon going to come off or not. Might be something to do with variances on how eaton applied the coating and not what happens in the field.

I'll PM you because I realized that I'm crapping up someone elses thread.

Not a big deal. I just finished reading the information, and while I didn't ask about the rotors it was still good information. I was more worried about doing damage to the intercooler.
