    Is CO2 cooling a good idea?

    Darrin, Its funny, I was also considering water injection lately, and I was planning to look for ways to keep the water chilled. I too, considered a type of 12V refrigerater to do this. It seems like we think alike. What about a small thermos to hold the water. You could fill it with...

    Is CO2 cooling a good idea?

    Proxses, The idea of an intercooler at the blower outlet is a great one, but it is easier said then done. I have heard of people raising the blower up with a 3/8" spacer, but I think any more then that will be too high, and affect belt geometry, hood clearance, etc. I have also heard some...

    Is CO2 cooling a good idea?

    Is CO2 cooling a good idea?

    Thanks for all the advice. Darrin, I would love to build the exact same setup that you mentioned. The design of the supercharger and the car it is in does not allow it to happen easily though. There is literally less then .5" of clearance between the supercharger and the bottom of the...

    Is CO2 cooling a good idea?

    Thank you for your input. I would generally only be using this system at the 1/4 mile track, where the length of time at WOT would hopefully not exceed 12.5 seconds. I would also consider using this before a run down the track, my theory is that if people use ice on an intake manifold in between...

    Is CO2 cooling a good idea?

    Hello, I am new to this web site, I am not an engineer, I just like to design and build my own ideas. I think this site will help with alot of them. My question is about using compressed CO2 to cool a lower intake manifold on a Ford 302L engine. The engine has a Kenne Bell Twin-Screw type of...
