Cool tricks i've done for intake.
Yeah this is a paintball air tank. its not cold like co2 ok. The physics of super compressed OXXYGEN is then when compressed. It is not "HOT", it is warm. A bit warmer than ambient. My fans have seemed to been keeping my engine temp at a good spot. even with a radiator leak. But that is fixed now. Unless i can find a free dyno, then i will show you. But like i said, im broke. My friend dyno'd for $400, if i had $400 i woulda bought some cheap ebay turbo anyways, and i wouldnt even be explaining this stuff to you. so, jsut to be clear. Compressed oxygen, also known as O2, is warmmmm. And also extremely flammable, so this pure oxygen when it hits my manifold i was told it was a little flammable and acts a low powered nos boost too. This is true. Try it for yourself i wouldnt waste my time if it didnt work. Ive noticed HP boost at all Rpm's.

i never said i didn't believe you about the compressed air working, just the fans. but you have explained the fans and it makes more sense now. the compressed air makes sense because it is like NO2, but not as powerful.
i think a blow-off valve would work, and i would get one to relieve pressure on the fans.

yeah... unfortunately, most people here will be impressed with theories until we see dyno charts.
Not trying to sound like an *******, your theories don't really make much sense (well, the compressed o2 does, but it doesn't seem practical doing all this work and not even having a real turbo). If I'm correct, the cooling fans on a computer tower simply blow out the hot air, allowing for cold air to take its place. Well, unfortunately the intake tube is sealed, so the cooling fans aren't accomplishing much.
So can we at least have a picture or two of your setup?

finally, yes, and your are right, i have now not a blow off valve, but i went to Walmart and asked if there was such a valve that if it gets to a certain pressure it will open. I got a 20pd valve from the person. Had to drill another hole afew minutes ago and fitted it. Correct me if im wrong but does a BOV work that same way?? Or is a BOV electrical and automatically knows when to blow off pressure when gas is let off. Not sure bout turbo stuff too much. But the valve sounds really loud, because the valve is so tiny it tweets the high whistle like a tea ketttle for about 2 seconds. There isnt that much pressure and your right. I think the reason it works so well is because the pure O2 is a flammable substance and i dont think its the air pressure of O2 mainly giving boost...i think half of it comes from its flammable-ness. Becuase my intake pipe cant be keeping no where near as much compression as a real turbo pipe, because in a way..the turbo piping has to be able to hold compression because thats what the turbo compressor does. But my system cant hold that much pressure because whats on the other end?? A air filter that air can easily pass back through. And o yeah, with my alienware fans, the way you route the wiring to the power you can change the direction of the fan, each fan can work 3 ways, they can blow into the computer, suck air out of the computer, or do both every 15 minutes, switching to blowing in and sucking air out. Kinda of like time oscilating. And dont worry they all are blowing towards the intake manifold! I checked.
So these fans getting reversed by intake piping build up pressure wont affect them. And they dont spin backwards from this pressure, its not great enough to stop 20,000 rpm's of fan speed. Idk thats just what ive collected.

answer for why compressing air does heat it up, but spraying compressed air from your compressor feels cool...
ok... lets go real nerdy for a second... gas law says pv=nrt (p pressure, v volume, n number of mols of air, r is a constant, t temperature)...
air compressor increases p... v and r are constant... n and t go up.
compressed air does heat up... why it feels cool on your hand from a compressor is same as why the breeze cools you down... molecules of sweat evaporating off of your skin (sweating) the compressor shoots a lot of air molecules and they pull moisture off of your hand and essentially your hand is sweating and cooling down...
sorry that sounds way more complicated than it really is...
as for In-Teg-Rawr, unbelievable... computer fans... please sell your car and go for for Ford.

What kind of paintball tank is charged with oxygen? I thought they were either nitro or c02?
