Cooling the fuel is really easy, just get a cool can. We've used them in our VW drag cars for years. About $100.00 from www.jegs.com. You just pipe the fuel line through the cool can and fill it with ice. Not sure how it'd adapt to an S2000, but it's out there.

Fuel becomes MORE flammable as you cool it? Come again?

Anyway, this is obviously not something you would want to do with a stock computer since it would be looking at the problem from the wrong viewpoint, I merely posted it for a "what if" scenario. I'm just wondering how much some really cold fuel will cool down the charge in the cylinder as opposed to cooling down the charge itself. The gains may not be as great, but they may also be less inexpensive and time consuming...maybe.

 

Gases get dense with cold because they are getting closer to the temp of itself in a liquid state (liquid is more dense than gas).

Once it is a liquid it is as dense as it's gonna be.

I've thought about doing something with those cans of oxygen used for cleaning electronic appliances.
That stuff comes out cold when it's turned upside-down.


Then again, I'm not that smart and My dad will give me a good reason that it won't work.

 

The stuff that comes out of cans for cleaning electronic appliances is not oxygen. It's some kind of inert gas that won't react with anything. (You can't even use it as a flame thrower, like you can deodorant!)

Once it is a liquid, it can still get denser, until it becomes a solid (Unless you're talking about water, in which case, it becomes less dense again)

 

it's easy to cool intake air to less than ambient temp. just device a little cooling chamber with some dry ice in it. rout your intake through the chamer. this will work best with aftermarket intakes with aluminum tubing. the problem is it's not cost effective and you have to make sure carbon dioxide from sublimed dry ice does not seep into your intake.

 

Liquid Oxygen, of course!
