dry ice intake.

[whenmunkysfly]

i was thinking about welding up a tray of some kind at i could put dry ice in that wound contact the intake somewhere to cool it. anyone else thought about this or any ideas or thoughts on it.

Why not use an air to liquid intercooler? Wouldn't that be better?

seems to be a popular idea around here... use it near the IC

I think OutOfStep mentioned it in his thread about Drag racing success...

Edit:

Those sneaky tricks:
Bring a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol. While in the staging lanes spray down your intercooler, hard pipes, and intake manifold. It’s great for cooling things with a quickness.

Most tracks do not allow ice baskets. So what you can do instead is get those blue cooler deals. You know, those little blue things you stick in the freezer and use to keep your food cold when you go to a party/camping. Get you a nice waterproof cloth bag, cut open and dump the contents of the blue freezer deals into it. Sew it shut. Throw it in the freezer. You just made yourself a frozen intake manifold blanket. They actually sell this exact same thing for like 200 bucks but you made it yourself for 25. If you have any craft skills you can custom make it to your intake manifold. Or just go generic blanket style. Your choice.

yah, good idea, but goodluck finding a track that will let you do it. They dont want water on the track at all.

I know very well that trick, but i also am located in washington... i do not know of a track around here that will let him run dry ice. Maybe bremerton... but their track is shitty anyways... the little ice container trick is nowhere near the gains of an actual ice cage.

dry ice doesnt turn to water or produce liquid!! i have one built for my intake out of 3/16 alluminum, but i have to get the car together befor i see how it works....

 

[JNasty]

also dry ise is a funny thing if you put a few drops of water on it its really reactive and you would get alot of really cold steme, that may work good but its carbon dioxside and not sure if it will hurt the motor from the intake side.

 

[Godspeed]

true if it were to be on the car it would evaporate not melt and turn to water. thus being no prob at the track.

I think JBLMK3 made an Ice rack that mounted to his IC.. Do a google search for him.

i wasnt saying just the dry ice and no intercooler the cooler you can get that boosted air the better i think. i also didnt mean into the intake air just touching your intercooler pipes or something like that so it cools the air inside the pipes

heh. nice idea.....just hope the evaporating CO2 doesn't find its way into your intake....nothing like diluting your intake charge!

and if you are unlucky crack the OC due to thermal shock (like putting a flame on glass)

yea id have to say putting it down by your intercooler would be best
