i know zex makes a filter like that

 

I have seen the intake kit from the cryo2 company, and it looks like a gimmick to me. I have no experience with them, and I haven't heard anything + or - about them. For the cost I would look somewhere else for gains.

 

how would the co2 be ingested into the intake system by spraying it onto the intercooler fins? the fins are cooled by oncoming air, then make contact with the air in the intake system, therefore absorbing heat, correct? im guessing the co2 is pretty damned cold when it comes out of its pressurized container, and colder intercooler = colder, more dense air charge. why do you think people put ice water in their air-to-water i/c setups? or ice their intake elbows/manifolds in the staging lanes?

i dont get what that website was trying to prove really. maybe i read it wrong but it doesnt sound like it adds up.

 

After the co2 or n2o goes through those intercooler fins, it is inside the engine compartment where most intakes pull air from. The Evo's and Wrx's both pull air through a scoop from above and in front of the radiator, and I know for a fact that those cars still suck in the co2/n2o from these kits. You can only imagine how much contaminated air a normal short ram intake would be pulling in. I think a fender-well type cai would be the only way around it. The whole point is that if you use the co2 you will more than likely lose hp. If you use n20, you will gain ~30-50hp. If you isolate your intake somehow, then using either co2 or n2o will cool your intake charge, but you won't get the advertised "up to 50hp gain"


p.s. I trust David Buschur's advice.....

11.65 EVOVIII on stock turbo and no nitrous. Mid 11's for less than $4k

ohhh i see. good point i didnt even think about that. i saw a video of a dude spraying his cosworth's intercooler with a fire extinguisher before a run at the track one time. he did it just before staging. if you think about it, you could spray the co2 all over the intercooler at an idle and probably not have an adverse effect, but if youre looking for the push-button @ wot NAWZ feeling, then yea the cryo2 wouldnt be for you.

 

Yes, in between runs, it would be a great way to cool your intercooler. I prefer the cheaper method of wiper fluid or water/alcohol mix, but yeah as long as you aren't ingesting the co2, you would be fine. It just pisses me off that the companies claim all that hp.

 

yeah thats who it was

 

dude dont use the filter. thats just a waste of money. it takes 5 minutes to drill a hole in your intake to plumb the gas. i dont see how some people can afford to be so dumb and lazy

 

blah

 

im calling because my friend uses it with co2 it lets u run 5 poudns more higher boost on his turbo then normal... so i think theirs stupies are true about the car they use..
