Anyone ever use Cry02?

I was just curious on how this system works compared to nitrous. The refills are cheaper and easier to get then Nitrous as you can just get the bottle filled at a welding supply store.

I believe these kits used more to spray and cool down intercoolers on high boost turbocharged cars.

That's correct. If you look on the side they are selling the FMIC mounting rings. Basically these rings have little openings in them and the CryO2 is released evenly (to an extent) over the surface of the intercoolr, dropping temperatures dramatically. It only works with very high boost applications. You could use it with a 8psi setup but it would be pretty pointless

Yes it is used for that but it also can be used without a turbo. Check this out from there website:

"The CryO2 Air Intake consists of an aerodynamically designed bulb with a cryogenic chamber which is mounted in a 4" segment of air tube. The air passes over the bulb, heat is removed from the air charge resulting in a colder, denser, more powerful charge. Dyno testing showed a reduction in intake air temperature of more than 50 degrees. The CryO2 Air Intake can be used on turbocharged, supercharged or naturally aspirated applications. Multiple units can be used for colder results. Installs in minutes and comes with silicone connection sleeve, hose clamps and connection / vent hose."

You could use it without a turbo but it wouldn't do much. Why bother? Spend the money on a turbo and get some decent bang for your buck.

For a turbo car I'd go with methanol injection instead.

That's a significant drop in temperature, but you're only going to see between 5 and 6 whp for that 50 degree drop. You can figure about +1 whp for every -10 degrees fahrenheit. Seems like a lot of money for 5 or 6 ponies.

it would be a much better system if combined with boost though, especially a "looped" system. IE: a bulb in the compressor inlet, the i/c ring, then the bulb again in the i/c piping before the throttle. this would cool down air intake temps rediculously. especially if all piping were wrapped or jethot coated.

what i want to know, if mated with water/meth injection with turbo, will the system still work, or will the intake temps drop too dramatically.

[Ghostyman]

The bulbs are also going to create obstructions in the intake path. I don't think the bulbs are good idea on most cars. The intercooler sprayer would be good for prolonged driving but I think the weight and money would be more effectively spent on methanol.

Intake temps won't drop so drastically that there would be a problem, even with both meth and CO2.
