You know you don't inject CO2 into the motor right? It would make it stable since its not combustible.

 

What exactly are trying to accomplish by putting carbon dioxide into your engine?

Maybe you can throw a shot of syrup along side it and feed your engine a Mountain Dew fountain drink.

I have no idea about it really. Just saw it. If I could benifit from it I'd learn more about it then try it out.

 

If you have a turbo or supercharger it will benifit you more because they have intercooler sprayers and also CryO2 adapter that goes on inbetween your intake pipe somewhere. It's about the same size of one of those electric turbocharger and sprays just like nitrous. It drops the temp. of the air going into your car.

 

It dosen't do jack shit, beside obstruct the air flow of the air going into the intake. The velocity of the air going by the CO2 cooled capsule does not pick up or gain any heat transfer. Its just a waste of money.

thank you sir, that is what we found on our dyno doing a write up for turbo mag.

 

Thats a damn expensive kit to say it doesnt do any good.

Ebay turbo's are pretty expensive too, they must be good.

 

It would be great if you were spraying your intercooler w/ it...

Except you have to worry about sucking up the CO2 into your intake and then stalling out the engine... :nono:

 

Sounds to me like kids are doing this shit just for the purge effect. Just for the record, you won't even get that without a bottle heater. In all, you can probably pick up a nitrous kit for cheaper.

That would all depend on your piping configuration and how you are spraying your IC now wouldn't it?

 

If you're spraying your interooler, nothing is going to get sucked up in the intake unless your intercooler has holes in it, in which case you have bigger problems.

 

what? doesnt your intercooler draw cool air that is rushing towards your bumper, to cool the charge. I would like to see what gains can be had/

It doesn't draw cool air at all. It works just as a radiator does. the cool air passes THROUGH the intercooler. Now the air from the turbo that passes through the intercooler core is cooled by the air passing through the outside of the intercooler. There should be NO AIR SPACES for anything to get into your car's respiration system. That's what we call a leak.:bigthumb:

 

I understand the basics of intercooling.... what I am trying to learn is.... if the C02 system can cool the charge enough to see improvements in power output of the engine.

In theory, yes it can. I have even seen dyno charts with shown improvements of around 10whp. It's a good idea actually, I don't think anybody here has tried it. For that amount of hp though I think the money could be well spend somewhere else.

 

i agree. But it does look nice on show cars. If I had money to blow, I would try this out because I believe that it would be a substantial gain.

 

For the gain you would get in "theory"...its still a waste of money

 

I am testing one of these bad boys out. I picked her up for 120 and am trying to retrofit a cone that will a bung to inject this co2. If this fails at all, I will just take the co2 bottle off, use it for paintball and insert a nitrous bottle and run a lil spray.

 

Please tell me you're not expecting to gain power by injecting CO2 into the engine? You do realize CO2 is neither a flammable nor oxidizer, right? All you'll be doing is forcing out oxygen that is needed. Good luck with that. But hey what do I know, I'm only an engineer who makes a living working with compressed gases.

 

You know that the CO2 is not injected into the motor right.... so how in the world would you retro fit NO2 to with setup. Makes no sense.

 

Ok, that makes a bit more sense then. Though if the intake pipe is plastic/pcv, its probably not going to have much effect.

 

Yeah having aluminum piping would be superior due to its great conductivity properties will help with the temperature exchange.
