Does this http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEI-CryO2-Air-Intake-Bulb-Bulb-Legs-Only-/330461700924?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item4cf10d633c  really work?

Quoted from their site.
CryO2 Air Intake kits consist of an aerodynamically designed bulb with a cryogenic chamber that is mounted inside a 4” long air tube. When charged with liquid CO2, the bulb freezes and chills the air as it passes through the intake - resulting in 35% cooler air and more power. The CryO2 Air Intake can be used on turbocharged, supercharged and normally aspirated applications. Multiple units can also be used for stronger results. The kits come with silicone hose connection sleeves, hose clamps, a connection/vent hose and an intake segment and bulb (that will fit factory or after market air intakes).

Anybody have any real data or links to discussion on this?

My plan is to use water/meth inj. any ways.

Saw this and I remember when all this CRYO2 shit came out and wonder it really work.

 I know the CO2 spray in front of the inter cooler works (fire extinguishers)

For $89 I'd say not for me. Get a basic setup making 500whp on a dyno sheet, then add the oddball stuff.

I know just wondering if that shit really works.

I must be making something I just wore out a clutch

I'm assuming its an evap coil internally.  There would need to be a compressor, heat exchanger, tubing for the complete system.  Relocate your AC evap into the intake.  Sure it won't be efficient from an energy standpoint but it may help iats.  Be better off running less boost... Cryo2 compressor suck the life out of your battery.  Use of energy aint free.  Entropy is a bitch

[NoPistons!]

Not sure if i want.



I could see it being somewhat useful in a car that isn't intercooled or maybe for  sleeper shit or dot/inspection deception.


Jabberwock, i was under the impression these run off straight bottle pressure released from a solenoid like nitrous. 

[jabberwock]

That would make more sense.  Where would it vent to?  I guess out the hood or something.

In some old articles on this they had the CO2 exit out a spray bar in front of an intercooler.

[jabberwock]

Interesting, but I'd keep it away from the intake you know?

Yeah, just like the nitrous.  That little pod shit you probably put a vent line somewhere.  I dont think that was implied to be recirculated.  You'd just have a full system of liquid co2 with no room to change it from liquid to gas to get the cooling effect.

If my memory serves me right aren't you running a Ebay xtd clutch?

Yes, but damaged the clutch due to clutch hydraulic issues. 

Before the clutch hydraulics issue, I had no problems with clutch.

[ratcityrex]

Well if it wasn't slipping, then you were not making enough power.

I don't think I've seen a spray bar in the last few years, even in magazine show cars. I also don't believe that bulb has enough surface area, even if it was at -90F or something, to cool much of the air down.

$90 is around the price of a puck-style clutch disc. Fix what's broken first.

I'm using puck style clutch for 8yrs. 

[ratcityrex]

Upgrade to a real clutch, like one from mike @ lsd or a cc. Not just the disk. Anything over 240ish whp and xtd clutches don't hold shit. Stock pp with a puck clutch = garbage.

Already order clutch 

Back to topic

I'm not planning using this CRYO2 system, unless somebody has some good reviews.

I'm wondering on the benefits, and are there any real RHMT experiences  of this, not speculation.

[Ntrain2k]

^this^

The limited surface area would only cool the little bit of air that it touched. Can't see it making any real difference except at maybe very low air flow.

[jabberwock]

Yeah, you'd basically need an a2w ic with co2 run to it.

[bigdaddyvtec]

True genius is in simplicity... Effective simplicity... Not over thinking over-engineering and over executing overcopmplicated bullshit that you dont need...


WHy in the fuck would you put that much effort into that shit show...

[Joseph Davis]

KISS

[NoPistons!]

Agreed.   I'm a fan of hosing the ic down with some ice water via washer nozzles or building some kind of tray that can hold dry ice up against the intercooler for a pull/run whatever.  it's so cheap i'd never consider a spray bar or some bullshit like that but i'm not going to knock someone who does because maybe they may find something on the dyno that speculation cant.

Smart way to look at it.
