Cryogenic Intake System

Holy crap...look at this. It can produce 5-6 psi. No header connection needed. Its supposed to "clean" up your engine bay by not having as much stuff. What do you think the pros/cons of this thing is?

remember gas runs out, real boost doesn't, unless your turbo is messed up

Yeah i know....oh yeah its called the Cry0-2 System by the way. It was said to be one of the "top items at sema"...but so were the l.e.d.'s for the purge lines.

don't turbos generally reduce the lifespan of the engine? i would much rather have the option to shoot up power when i need it instead of having it constantly wearing stuff out.

yes however if he was running 5-6 psi with the turbo i dont think he would really wear it out. And plus you dont have to run full throttle all the time just when you need to.

very true...but i have yet to see this actually installed on anyones car. havn't heard too much about it other than it substancially cools air and fuel as they flow through your engine causing them to be denser, allowing more to pass through, therefore you get the bigger bang which in turn gives you more power. (Like I said I still don't know too much) I've heard these systems pumping out up to 50 RWHP on supercharged and turboed applications and up to 30ish RWHP on N/A applications. The system itself is pretty cheap and runs around $500 and is supposably %100 safe/detonation free.

engines that were designed to be boosted last just as long as N/A cars..I know this first hand. Adding any kind of forced induction to any motor that isnt designed for it will reduce its life span.

I believe your thinking about the intake cooler. This is a turbine powered by a cryo2 bottle. It's boost.

THe concept is cool I guess, but there is more to a boosted car than the turbo. You need more fuel for the increase in air and the correct tuning. All I can see that thing do is cause problems.

I'm just goin' by what the mag. said. It said that one of its major pros is that it clears up space in your engine bay. It's supposedly costs around $500.

looks like it'd work better than the electric superchargers.. but if you run a bottle why not just use nitrous oxide? you'd get more power out of the bottle that way. Only reason I can think of to use that setup is if its street legal (since nitrous isn't)

I saw this at DEI's booth at PRI. The idea is good, but personally I believe they need to do a little more R&D. The "turbo" itself, moves a great deal of air, but the whole fact that you will run out of CO2 will be a downside.
