brobradh77 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 i was bored driving to work this morning and was curious about something.....I was looking at how how my IATs are here and in some cases like yesterday i was 40 degrees above ambient just driving around....I was curious if anyone has ever thought aboiut fixing up your CIA to hold dry ice? I know sounds stupid but as cold as it is i was just thinking it would be a cheap mod for a track day that may very well give you some nice gains due to how cold it really is.. Any thoughts or do i need to check back into my padded room?..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts or do i need to check back into my padded room?..lol it could be used. but with intercooler ice box's they are usually selaed to prevent from leaking on hard launches. when dry ice is mixed with water it created cardbon dioxide which will breat enough pressure to explode you ice box, like the dry ice 2 liter fun i used to have fun with when younger.

brobradh77 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I used to do that as well...lol ...well i was thinking more along the lines of actually setting it in your cai box so your truck is sucking that cold air thru the intake..not actually mix it with water..

Rausche Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 It's still going to be feeding your engine CO2, which will mess with your AFR (at least that what makes sense in my head). If you could use it to super-cool your intake tube, that might be something; It would cool the intake charge as it passed through without adding any C02. However I think that the air moves too fast through the intake tube for this to really be an improvement at all. IMO you're better off wiring some e-fans on constant duty, to keep IATs as low as possible while you're not moving, or going the Methanol or Ice-Box route.

Before the E-Fans my IATs sat about 8*-12* degrees ambient, and after they're about 20*-25* above (and much higher if I let her idle for a while).
