i was looking on a DEI box (bought a turbo blanket from them) and on the bottom of it they had this cryo2 stuff. so i looked it up online and it looks pretty good, but im just wondering if anybody has used one of their kits and if you have, is it worth it? it seems alot safer than a nitrous spray bar. thanks

 

cryo2 and nos has similarities and differences. both add power when needed. nos can be run either on a switch in the cab or by a switch that activates spray at wot. cryo2 is run only by a switch inside the cab. nos can cause a lot of stress on the motor as the power boost can be sudden and possibly to high for a motor to handle. cryo2 simple cools the intake temps even more than just an i/c. this does allow the power to make more power but it is less of a stress on the motor. from what i understand a nos refill is much cheaper than a cryo2 refill but i may be wrong about that.

 

i thought it was the other way around with the refill stuff. its just liquid co2. thanks for the post, but im looking for more of someone who has used it. i understand how they both work, im just wondering if it is worth it. seems like it would work great, but you never know.

 

The CO2 is 1/3 the price of the NOS to refill. I am installing the full system; fuel, air and IC sprayer. Not up and running yet. One thing to consider is that, unlike NOS, you don't want a significant amount of the IC sprayed CO2 to be ingested into your engine. If you have a single turbo with a filter sitting right on the turbo this is a concern. I have a SMIC and when I sprayed the IC it was all over the engine bay. Had to construct an intake from the nose of the car.

BTW, system can be triggered by whatever engine parameter you choose, air temp, boost, etc. They supply an activation switch intended to be used at WOT but can be used any way you choose. I'm using a SPA boost gauge and can program it to activate at whatever boost I choose.

DEI claims that their system yielded 50 more hp on a turbo Honda. Don't know if that was a 200 hp or 1000hp base. They indicated that the fuel cooling was a very important component.

I'm also really curious as to whether it is worth the trouble and the money.
