Just A Thought

[GREG91GT]

Has anyone ever tried making somthing to pump cold ice water threw there throttle body plate were the origanal coolant line are connected, see i dont have my lines hooked up anymore and i was just trying to think of a way to cool some of the incoming air this might sound dumb but its just a thought.

You would have to run liquid nitrogen or liquid oxygen to get it cold enough to cool the air passing through it. Condensation would be a problem as well.

EDIT: Liquid oxygen and grease or oil don't mix.

yea i realy dont think it would be real great but just a little would help

 

[stang22]

A lot of people ice their intakes before runs at the track before runs. They say it works...

icing the intake works because it actually really cools the intake itself. Those coolant lines through the EGR actually cool the intake as well! the inert gasses passing through the EGR are 500-700*F, so 200*F coolant helps to cool the surrounding metal.

yea buy icing my intake at the track it helps allot, i have just been sitting around thinking how to make somthing to cool the air

 

[HISSIN50]

do TT's and use nitrous to cool the charge.

i was thinking of putting a 50 or 75 shot on, because my goal is to hit the 6s with all stock suspinsion.

back when i read all the ricer mags they were just coming out with co2 kits that would hook to your inter cooler and spray however you want it activated.
That Made the air drasticlly cooler and added like 70 horses.

you have a supercharger.... use the menthal injection thing, that will get you into the 6's.

I always wonder if you could rig up the a/c to pump that cool air into the engine.I don't know if it would work but it might.

 

[Sgt.5point0]

Kind of on the some note, but you can get cool cans off of Summit. These hook inline with your fuel line, add cold water/ice, dry ice maybe?... The line is coiled inside of the can, works supposedly.

 

[crunchie12268]

I think someone has tried rigging the a/c to work, and got very minute gains.

I'm still not convinced of the lines w/ coolant actually "cooling" the EGR spacer, but that's another thread. Regardless -- running ice water through there could only help as I see it -- if you have the means and motivation, go for it!

Rumor has it the new Lightning uses this technology to store an AC charge of cool air in a storage container and inject it into the intake stream. Supposedly good for 50-75hp but Im not sure how accurate that is...but boosted cold air is diff than NA. We will see!!

 

[The Fox]

I would thing the combo of Extreme cold with extreme heat close by something would give and crack. I'm just guessin.

 

[tmoss]

What a battle, hot engine coolant in the lower and cold wter in the EGR spacer. Might help cool the intake some, but i doubt enough to make any real difference.

Ill have to talk to my uncle he is a robotics engineer. See if he has any ideas. Liguid nitrogen maybe. On a different note i still have my smog pump under the hood but the outlet that pumps air into h pipe isnt hooked up i unhooked it. I was thinking about plumbing a hose from smog pump air outlet to air intake hose. Not sure how much air that thing pumps and i know gains will be small if any but stuffing more air in engine is always good. Its just pumping air to engine compartment figured id try to get it into engine instead of wasting it. Anyone try that yet?

I dont think it pumps enough air to make a difference but i dont think it would hurt

 

[crunchie12268]

I have asked about the smog before, it doesn't work, maybe a combination of a/c and smog would work.
