CRYO spray

[Tony87gn]

I saw a ad in the GM High-Tech performance about this liquid carbon dioxide spray that is like nitrous. It said you could spray it over the fins of your intercooler and increase its efficiency by 50 percent. Anyone have any experience with this stuff? Would it work well with alky injection?

There was a post some time ago bout someone had made theyre own IC chiller using copper tubing and a CO2 tank. They claimed it picked up HP on the dyno like 50.

Everyone asked for more info and the thread died.

The stock IC is just not a very efficient core. As far as cooling it down.. nah... especially with an alky kit. The hotter the air charge leaving that stock IC.. the better the alky works. Just a couple threads down Ed's car went 11.37 on a stock IC w/neck. Bo went 11.34 on a stock IC w/neck. I ran 11.40 on mine and it didnt even have a neck mod on a 1.78 60 foot. Rob Crissafulli ran 132 MPH on a bone stock GN IC. Hope you see where this is going.

Then you have the issue its a bad thing if the motor inhales the CO2.. very bad.

Spend the money on a high flowing stock location IC..if your at that performance level. The alky will make the remaining temp drop possible.

HTH

I have a front mount if that changes anything.

Nope..more of a reason not to use it.

Right on, anyways it also says you can spray it in the fuel lines and it will drop the fuel temp to -80 degrees. Any reason to do this, I dont want to just want to gain some knowledge here

Unless you slow down the fuel through some kind of coil..like the cool cans Moroso sells.. dont see how. I mean you can freeze the lines but liquid is moving really fast..so you would have to cool a lot of line..

Dunno, as the life commercial would say..you first.

I'd be more concerned about metal fatigue from freezing the metal then heating it over and over and over..

You can try and post back results..

Nah I dont have the money to spend on that. it dosent seem easy to do and it seems like it wont yield good enough results.
