dry ice is carbon dioxide - it doesnt burn. dry ice in your airbox will evaporate and get sucked into your engine - killing your cars performance more than removing a couple of plug leads...

You want cold air?

Just connect your Air conditioning up to the air box, wouldnt be that hard...

Although you'll lose it inside the car..

except from power loss from running the aircon..

haha ur got me there...

How cold is too cold? I suppose cold enough to form water vapour might be detrimental?

**Stav** · 20-08-2006, 11:35 PM

I think some liquid nitrogen injection may be needed for good cooling.

Baboon_AU · 26-08-2006, 01:23 PM

liquid nitrogen gives off CO2 and your engine wont really run the best

blownba · 26-08-2006, 03:59 PM

Has anyone seen the cryo systems???? They are a co2 intake cooling system thats meant to be pretty good. You fit this ring into your intake piping and pump co2 through it this freezes the ring and cools the intake air passing through it. Note none of the co2 enters the intake it is discharged somewhere else. They also have intercooler sprayers. They claim to significantly cool the intake charge. i cant find the link.

Baboon_AU · 26-08-2006, 10:13 PM

sounds a bit complex to me. it would be great if it actually did something

blackers10 · 27-08-2006, 12:50 AM

ive seen the Co2 sprayer setups on intercoolers before.. also seen guys spraying the intake and intercooler with a bottle of it before a dyno run (get it all icey cold;)

being a gas it would cool better than a water sprayer setup.. just cost a hell of alot more than a water sprayed setup to refill and probably setup cost

Why not have liquid nitrogen encases around the intake? Maybe it can blow us to smitherines?

Actually Liquid Nitrogen gives off gaseous nitrogen.

So effectively you are making a thermal insulated enclosure (rather than an actual box) that is designed to take air from the front and hold a pod filter of sorts?

XR6-VCT-2000 · 10-09-2006, 02:06 PM

hmmmm ok , let us know the results, it could be an interesting mod .

Allthough I hope your at least going to clean it up a bit , as it looks like the cover has been cut out with tin snips ! . :hihi:

**Stav** · 10-09-2006, 02:48 PM

Its a work of art in progress!!

Casper · 10-09-2006, 02:50 PM

Heres one we prepared earlier (Identical concept)

Nar the concept I have in my mind will remain there.That box looks a bit too restrictive for my ideas.Mine is bigger than yours!!lol. :Reverend:

Bigger yes.. but I dont have to worry about getting bone deep cuts when working on mine

: :Reverend: I also have a place to keep my beers cold still. Has Mrs Useless spotted the 1 meter square hole in the side of the fridge yet?

No because the rest of the fridge is in the back of the wagon for version 2 of the useless fridge cold air intake.!!! :hihi:

Yes you got me :sm_headba :hihi:

here my (Identical concept)

,was going to get either a G&D or BP one but like useless I made my own version
3mb http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...84575091415051

no cost ,using old printing plates (very easy to work with) cutting 2 sides of box open can either fit orig panel or big 5-6 inch K&n pod
once painted black will look stock

so far healthy gains in noise ,pwr and lower intake temps ,Ive had earlier versions made checked on both dyno, datalogging on road when getting edit done
backed up my pb yesterday into the 25+kph wind ,with just this CAI and phenolic spacer being only mod ,no final touch up on edit for these 2 added mods yet

the money saved VS the gain has been very successful
Keep at it useless it will work

Useless and me are mates... I'm just messing around with him.. and he with me. I've always supported him when hes tried new things.. and always will. But I'll still take the **** out of him and he will do the same to me

I did cut it with tin snips. Also you may notice my foot print on the top as well.I was cleaning the garage and stepped on it last week.

**Stav** · 11-09-2006, 04:52 PM

Holy ghost...its dropped intake temps by 10 degrees and its not even sealed yet! Needs to be sealed and a combo of my ideas thrown in.!! Then on to reduce the total underbonnet temps!!
