Thats exactly what I meant!


That has to work!

 

you can say that again... oh wait

 

I have seen some guys at the track up here run a co2 tank that sprays liquid co2 onto the radiator right when they hit the pits. The reasoning behind it is that they obviously use it on a very hot day. But they say by coming from the track at high engine temps right to the pits they lose the air force ( now at 0 mphs ). They then shoot the radiator with the liquid co2 (very very cold) and the radiator will be flowing much colder coolant to the block to counter the heat spike.
I could see how it would work and i could also see how it wouldnt.
But then again its not to hard to do so ........ why not try it?

 

I wonder though, what if you bought two of those intake and customized the tubing like the intercooler piping but welded together at the intake manifold with the filter on each side at the front grill. Double the air but the throttle body can only suck in whatever amount of air anyhow, think about that...

 

The only downside to that is that the filter would get real dirty sooner and on rainy days it would suck up alot of water since your filter in mounted in the front.

It would be cool to see how it would work.

 

I had a neighbor in PA whos Maverick would overheat driving over the steep grade of Crescent Mountain. He hooked his windshield washer hose to a spray bar in front of the radiator. Every time the car would heat up he would hit the washers and cool the car off.




From a performance standpoint, if you want to Cryo cool something it should be the intake not the radiator. Cooling the intake will give the engine a denser charge of air into the cylinders (more air = more power). Cooling the radiator could hurt performance by bringing the engine to a temperature when it is not as efficient.
