anybody wanna take one for the team and also provide a dyno?

 

how often does that container need to be filled?

 

the theory has been used for a long time.

The Domestic crowd uses "ice boxes" to cool the fuel lines into the carb..

Right before you line up to stage.. and its gone by the time you collect the trophy?

(I am assuming that its mostly for drag racing applications, although it can be used for whatever....)

they say on the site the dry ice can last up to 2 hours in a hot engine bay.

i know the idea has been around for a long time, but i was wondering if it nets any gains.

 

keep in mind this is also the company that makes those "carbon fiber" wheels. actually they are aluminum with a carbon fiber overlay.

 

you fill it once the flux capacitor runs low.

 

the site "claims":

civic w/ b16a swap:
base: 148.5 hp
117 tq

intake no ice
155.4 hp
121.9 tq

intake w/ice
159.8 hp
125.2 tq

 

call me stupid but i think its a good idea.

 

okay, you're stupid .......lol j/k. The dry ice box might work, but don't know about those carbon fiber wheels.

 

I guess thats kind of cool. I just realized that it works as a regular CAI when there's no dry ice in it.

 

i wonder if there are fins inside of the pipe area where the ice box is? if not, i don't really think it'll help at higher rpms. the air would be moving too fast for the box to cool it if it's just straight piping.

 

holy hell....get that to go along with the good old electric supercharger off ebay

 

I looking to get a CAI real soon and I have access to an unlimited supply of dry ice at my lab. Where can I get that?

 

haha, we all know what happens when you add water to the situation....but as it melts in the intake box , would it create gas and go into your engine messin **** up?

 

Dry ice evaporates into cardon dioxide gas which is also pretty cold and probebly won't do any harm to the engine, remember the cryogenic intake system that injects Co2 into the intake? I guess this is the same thing but youre getting more from it for cheaper. And yes, any contact with water can be very disasterous.

 

wouldnt a shitload of dryice smoke be comming out of ur engine bay

 

I don't think the question should be weather using dry ice would gain power. I think the question should be is it worth it?

 

Wouldn't hurt to make your own box and buy $2.00 of dry ice and give it a try.

 

nope it wouldnt. thanks for volunteering. post some pics and your testimonial afterwards!

hehehe

Buahahaha

 

Yeah, Mr. Fusion likes dry ice.

 

guys you dont put the dry ice into the pipe...how the hell are you going to get water into your engine. You put it into a box outside of the pipe, that cools the pipe and the air inside it. That's what it's supposed to do atleast.

Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth's atmosphere. It is the gas that we exhale during breathing and the gas that plants use in photosynthesis. It is also the same gas commonly added to water to make soda water. Dry Ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Dry Ice is widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle using insulated gloves. Dry Ice changes directly from a solid to a gas -sublimation- in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. Therefore it gets the name "dry ice."

That is the nice thing about it you will not get water in your engine..

I think it's a cool idea but it would be useless for daily driving.

 

that will actually work a little bit even with the condensation all over that intake melting and leaking water all over your engine bay. YAY?
