I found this in your gallery and I was wondering if you had any future plans with this setup? I was looking at that company for a while and was wondering if it is worth it.



I hope you dont mind me posting this.

no it shoots CO2 into it to lower the air temperatures by like 30 degrees and increased horsepower dramatically for a few seconds.

Isnt that what nitrous does? Cools the intake charge?

noo. nitrous is explosive....its like....if you were to have EXTREMELY high octane gas. thats alot more combustable.

N20 is 2 nitrous oxides.

it goes into the cylinder with the air and fuel mixture. Now mixing nitrous and that Cryo2 would give some serious power instantly.

For F/I it would make more sense to run a water meth injection

A brief History:
Water injection was evaluated scientifically in the 1930’s by H. Ricardo who demonstrated that one can basically double the power output of an engine using water/methanol. The first widespread use was during WWII on supercharged and turbocharged aircraft. In 1942, the German Luftwaffe increased the horsepower of the Focke-Wulf 190D-9 fighter aircraft from 1776HP to 2240HP using 50/50% water/methanol injection. The allies soon followed by fitting the P51 Mustang and other high performance aircraft with water/methanol injection. Following the war, the turboprop aircraft industry used water/methanol injection and called it the “automatic power reserve system (APR)” for use in hot or high altitude take off. It surfaced again in the 60’s when GM used a system on the OEM turbo Corvair. It was used effectively in Formula 1 before being banned for adding too much power.

The latest competitive use is in World Rally Racing (WRC) where virtually all teams use it in some form and in diesel truck/tractor pulling competition. It is important to note that in the fall of 2004, the long standing world record in the quarter mile for diesels was broken twice (now 7.98 sec) by two different vehicles; both using the Boost Cooler® water/methanol injection system by Snow Performance

Is there anyway you can portably ice your intake...I'd like to see what kind of difference we're talking here, it's a difference of 10rwhp on that dyno graph.

All the things mentioned in this post pretty much just help with heat soak and is intended for Forced induction ie super charger or turbo charger

Alot of the GRAND NATIONAL guys use water injection also known as "ALKY" alcohol=methanol plus some good 116 octane to keep boost up around 28-30 LBS
