Seems like a cool idea.

Jaguar were doing it in the 80's on the XJ6/12 series 3. The fuel line goes through a cooler unit in the air con line. Could have been just for Australia, but they were doin it!

Quick question -



You keep saying that the 3.5" core flows 826 CFM, but it was tested with a pressure drop of 15 psi.



Presonally I don't want to see a 15 psi pressure drop between my turbo and my engine. How about testing it with a more reasonable pressure drop of 1-2 psi? This will give a much more useful airflow measurement.

It was measuring the flow at a boost condition of 15psi... the test is intended to show the conditions of high boost in an intake and what flow rates will be present at that level of boost.

so what does this "interfreezer" flow at atmospheric pressure?

Im just curious on tunning:

Ok so you put it on, and you tune it to VERY COLD intake temps a get maybe 5 to whatever out of it or whatever, thats great.



So your off on a drive and you run out of CO2, OOPS! you car just lost 50hp(hot day summer time), and you just had a tidal wave of frozen slush go done in your itercooler, intake etc. So you would have to re-tune it or drive it around like POOP till you get it refilled.



Curious now on driving:

So really if your not using your car for only race, then I dont get it. Condensation? Thats a lot of water, regardless some will melt correct? If it doesnt then you will have a BIG Problem like DOM mentioned. I know about water injection, but its spray mist, its not a river of cold water.



SEEMS GREAT FOR RACE ONLY PURPOSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would give you a nice add to the drags.



SOME MENTION was brought up on fuel coolers. Well we have oil coolers, intercoolers, radiators etc... All these require ONE NATURE element, that you dont need to refill, and its AIR.



I dont knock water injection, or NOS or whatever, since they are short burst, not something that can run out and do damage.



So how is this prevented?



This is one of those cases I hate being a shop owner, I just want some honest info, no knocking, just info, since some are ready to run out and buy with no research, we all have seen this on a lot of cars, packing it with ICE etc... ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE.



I like the IDEA of running a few lines threw the intercooler like A/C lines, but not frozen, just chilly! hehe

Damn just I just looked at the webpage hehe, I was a little slow out of the gate.



I saw they did that intercooler idea I was thinking of kind of. I think that has potential with some work, but you couldnt just ask people to MOD their current one, you would have to sell them.



ALSO still the CO2 can run out. Then what?

FikseRxSeven

which one of the products was similar to your idea jt?

This one







But it looks as its been out a while, I just think a better design, and not quite as cold, would be a nice addtion. Not too butt/steal the thread in or anything...

turbobrik---COME BACK! Seriously man, I want to hear more. Actually more info on that intercooler one would be great, or PM me some info. Im too slow to read threw all the *****.
