here is an idea...

how about you get 20 hookers to huddle around your open element intake and tell them all to BLOW at the same time.

what little bit of CO2 gets in your car from an injection kit will not cause it to POP. JUST IN CASE, don't spray it directly into the filters.

the hooker thing would be pretty cool to watch though!!!

 

So the IC is merely an extremely efficient radiator, more or less? hehe. I didn't know that. I see now why CO2 displacing O2 in the IC isn't an issue, cuz you don't care what goes through, as long as it's cold. Yet for the intake, since that air goes directly toward combustion, you gotta make sure you maximize the amount of O2 molecules you have (and of course the corresponding amount of fuel to go w/ it). But so tell me this...if the IC is only for cooling, how does having a bigger and better IC result in more hp? Or is it indirectly (by allowing your engine to run at optimal temps, since it's being cooled better)?

Also, am I correct in saying that WI into the intake displaces very little O2, yet allows for a lot of heat transfer, thereby dropping the temp and hence the pressure, resulting in a greater volume of O2 particles reaching the combustion chamber? I would imagine if this is the case, the volume increase related to the temp drop is considerably greater than the volume of O2 displaced by the water itself, to make this system effective?

 

If you lower the O2 content, you would end up running rich, not lean. There'd be too much fuel and not enough O2 to get a good burn.

 

Ok I'm not saying what i mean yes when you displace the air you will have a richer fuel mixture, however what i was try to say was that when the intake charge temperature is dropped considerably by say a c02 spray this will make the air denser therefore leaning out your air fuel mixture. So if you have the c02 spray isolated so it doesn't get sprayed into the intake and it is significantly droping your intake temps this could creat a lean situation, which i would imagine would be difficult to tune for because it's only a short burst from time to time.

 

More surface area = more cooling and/or lower temps. Its not a more efficient radiator its just a radiator made to cool air.
Go to www.howstuffworks.com and type in intercooler., turbo, rotary, intake system. Learn how they all work its interesting.

Ya its sort of like that. water injection doesnt directly give you horsepower. It gives you a safe zone to tune your car for more horpsepower by giving less chance of pre-detonation, because it cools your intake charge more than the IC.

 

I see what you're saying rxtacy, but then the air temp sensor will come into play anyway and should offset the condition. It will see a cooler charge and adjust accordingly.

Edit.

Then again, it probably can't read that quick enough, so guess that's a moot point.

 

It cant , but no one knows truely how much difference it does I doubt its enough to cause detonation cause of denser air. I plan to test it on a stock IC soon.

 

any freakin updates yet!?!?

 

so could a 10LB NITROUS bottle be used for this (filled with Co2) i cant see getting verry far on a 20oz bottle.

and the tank pin valve are you talking about the caps or the valves them selves?

 

so im a newb... but will the plastic pieces on the stock intercooler like such constant and drastic heat changes?

 

Prob not...that's why you gotta chuck that POS and get a REAL IC

 

Stock intercooler IDIOT. You know I love you george.
