they make a ball that goes inside the intake tract that fills with c02 and cools the intake charge but im sure that doesnt work either

compressed co2, like in paintball cans, will shut your car off if you shoot it in the intake. That cryo2 stuff is supposed to work pretty good on turboed cars.

yes fire extingushers, which should stop ALL spark in the cylinders.

compressed air like air dusters right? thats c02! atleast 99% of them are. and they are all non flamable nowadays just further hurts the cause hehe, might as well try propane injection atleast thats a flamable gas . Just rig up a propane torch to your intake turn it on and hope to god your car doesnt backfire!

Just for clarification the CryO2 kit does not actually inject anything into the car it simply allows you to cool your intake, IC and fuel rail depending on how you hook it up.

Basically the air/fuel flows through an orifice that is being cooled by the CO2...cheaper than nitrous and just as good.

Well yea it doesnt inject anything intentionally. but say your using the ic sprayer, you spray it at speed there is only one way for that liquid c02 to go, back towards the air cleaner, and the cleaner at speed is sucking pretty good amount of cfm. IM just saying for the little effect they give you I would just not worry about it

and for price i did a quick google search for ya seems to be right around 320$ for the bottle and install kit. More for whatever sprayer you want ic sprayer ect.

well the cold stuff that comes out isnt just cold air. electronic guns? like airsoft guns? electric airsoft guns use a servo to pull back a spring and release the pin. there is no need to have gas and electric on a airsoft gun. and the reason regular c02 doesnt work good in airsoft guns is because airsoft specific c02 is mixed with a lubricant to help reduce wear and ensure consistency.

haha, im a somewhat professional paintball player, i play on gridlock... airsoft isnt related to paintball

http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...AAAEL6h4VlAYg#

thats my gun its all electronic

and its just air, moisture cannot be let into these guns and co2 is too dirty

its not really cold air, its only cold because its coming out at a high speed, kinda like a fan feels cold

The little bit you suck into your intake is not going to hurt...the majority of the CO2 will hit your radiator first

Not sure if it really will be much an advantage for a NA car but colder is better for nearly any car
