Rep Power: 354

i have seen this around, it cools the intake air by using C02, is there any thruth in this? what am i looking at in terms of gains?

lol

I have heard of it being used for intercoolers but not intakes....

 
Rep Power: 380

this is the siliest line

"Dyno testing showed a reduction in intake air temperature of more than 35%. "

So how can Dyno testing show air temps?

that is dumb.. but does it give you any HP? On a non turbp vehichle

Sounds like a wanna-be NOS system to me. Doesn't NOS cool the air AND inject more into the cylinders??

I guess these do work to a degree, I am not 100% on them, I dont know if I would spend the money on them or not. I thik they are more or less a gaget for some of the people out there that dont know better.

NOS delivers more O2 to the motor. It contains more O2 than the atmospheric air....in theory, every 10 degress the air temp is dropped that is being injected into the motor, you subsequently gain 1 hp. May produce some hp dependent upon the temp that the motor breathes from the bay on a regular basis.

it would be cool to have it on a remote switch.. just use an old bb pistol or paintball gun like stated before.. run a switch to it and have the CO2 hooked to a tube in which you could "spray" it into the intake.. haha let me hit the Co2 a poor mans Nitrous.. but what if you hit both at the same time hmmm...

it does help, but the gains are probably not very impressive.

i have the kit that sprays the intercooler waiting in my room for my turbo install... i will let you guys know then... NO WAY it wont help with turbo, its -85' ... intercooler temps dropped like WHOA... like having a water/air.... just easier.. but you CANNOT spray it while actaully racing/dynoing... then the suction can cause some of it to get into airflow, and you will run WAY toooo rich, and lose a little power..

i have the cryo2 system for my intake. it was a huge pain in the a$$ getting everything up and running and fixing every little leak at all the fittings but it definitely gave a noticable gain. certainly not as much gains as nitrous but it does work. even more so on turboed vehicles.
