I've seen compressed CO2 sprayed onto the intake...it was VERY cold to the touch on a running engine

 

Idk ive heard that when metal goes from REALLY HOT to REALLY cold it cracks........im sure sprayin ur IM isnt a great idea. I was thinkin about rigging somethin like that CYRO2 system to my intercooler.........that might work.

 

Yeah, liquid nitrogen would crack just about anything you put it on...

 

haha[sm=funnypostabove.gif]..im gunna start carrying dry ice around with me for thos crushal times..pop my hood and throw it in

 

so in other words does it work?

 

Anything that lowers the temperature of your intake mani will help Just don't try the liquid nitrogen thing

 

yeah btw i was kidding about that, but i stand by what i say when i said that dry ice wouldnt be a bad idea.

 

i heard the the ford lightning (if they ever make it again) is going to have a set up that has a tank of compressed air that is cooled off by the a/c under the hood. Once it is done charging and cooling a green light comes on inside and after you put the pedal on the floor the cold air is pumped into the intake. They say that the boost is similar to the feeling NO2 (unlikely but who knows)

 

It is not worth the trouble.

Air moves through your intake far too quickly for this to affect it enough to warrent all the effort. Your looking at 2 maybe 3hp at most.
