WJM Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 what happens if my air intake charge is NEGATIVE 335 deg F. on my EA82T????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Ice will form.. quickly Cold air good.. Ice bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 hmm, ice would form, the oxygen would be too cold and not have the kinetic energy required to react... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warp3 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 what happens if my air intake charge is NEGATIVE 335 deg F. on my EA82T????? Why does everyone of your posts make me question your sanity!? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Why does everyone of your posts make me question your sanity!? LOL Because I am insane. Edit: Seriously tho...i was thinking about using an air to water IC....but instead of water...and a pump and rad....i was going to use liquid Nitrogen...and a special pump that uses electromagnetic feilds to absorb energy from the intake air charge...it uses that energy to power its self and circulate the Liq. Nitr....it doesnt need a rad...cuz the pump assy absorbs the heat energy. The more heat, the more effient it is. Something along those lines....

subaru_styles Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 they just came out with intakes that have an area to put dry ice in. http://www.01designsystem.com/products.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warp3 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 http://www.01designsystem.com/products.html I thought that URL looked familiar...these are the same folks that sell those "carbon fiber" rims...LOL (of course, for obvious structural reasons they are alloys that are covered with CF, not wheels that are actually made of CF). That said the theory kinda makes sense. This is really no different than turbo car owners that ice their intercoolers at the drag strip. BUT...then again, every time the discussion comes up about "is metal tubing in an intake really wise since it would soak up heat", the defense is that the air is moving fast enough that it isn't notably affected by the intake tubing temp. Wouldn't the same thing apply here, especially considering how little time the air would spend in the very small, low restriction "dry ice containment unit" (their term, not mine...lol)? I would think that a similar concept but using an artificially chilled intercooler would have a more noticeable effect (i.e. an intercooler surrounded with dry ice) since ICs have much better heat transfer properties than a simple metal tube (partly due to the fact that the air spends more time passing through the IC than it would a similarly sized piece of tubing).

GeneralDisorder Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Gasoline freezes at about -80F, so your engine would cease to run. Not to mention the difficulties with haveing something *that* cold enter a combustion chamber - the aluminium and the steel expand and contract at different rates, and something below -300F would certainly cause ireperable damage in short order. Bad times. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonOfScio Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Why not instead of using NO2, use an O2 canister of compressed Oxygen gas, and put it into the airstream before the maf sensor. Then use CO2 to cool the intercooler. That should give it a boost... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 OK, so I will jsut shoot for -50 F.....LOL What to use as a coolant............?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 what about the throttle boby mod where you bypass the coolant liine that run through it. that should take off quite a bit of heat from the air going into the manifold. has anyone here tried this, or is this just on the newer subies? hmmm, maybe i should get off my lazy *** and go look at my rx. but has anyone tried this?
