check this out guys
wut's going on
have u guys seen this before?

 

is there one for the evo?

 

dont really think it would do much considering that the air just passes it 2 fast not like the air sits thier and then gets cooled and then goes in.... i dont know though good idea

 

intresting, any more info on it?

 

Why would you put that in the intake?? Wouldnt that be more effecient after the turbo, say on the intercooler or the piping going up to the intake manifold??

 

great for air flow...............(sarcasm). Another thing, when it melts where does it go?

 

thats pretty cool

but does the air have enough time to cool down?
not sure if it would do much...

 

haha, that's wut i'm thinking
u'll probably have to fill in fresh ice every mile u drive
as engine bay temp is so high, it melts the ice in no time
weird design.......i was just browsing and saw these pics randomly
so i have no idea who made it and where is it from
just to see if u guys have seen these and happen to know wut is it

 

DIIS - Dry Ice Induction System

evaporates

 

Yea i agree with evoisdream, I don't think the surface area is great enough for signifigant temperature drop.

 

you could fill it with a liquid gas. something like compressed nitrogen or something. But i think the price would then skyrocket as you would ned to design the middle section to be able to withstand the temperature drop. But if it was a compressed gas then it would definatly cool the air as it passes by because that stuff if COOOLLLDDDD alot colder than dry ice. Interesting design though, someones a little obsessive about cars.....oh wait, thats all of us on this forum.

 

does anyone know the air mass flow rate is at the intake?
like mfr VS engine speed?

 

that would be better off being put on a fuel line instead of an air intake line... cold fuel is almost as good as cold air...

 

ive read about a similiar system like this for mini coopers and it actually lost hp

 

Sublimates. Dry ice usually doesnt last long once it begins to warm up either.
