CO2 Cooling the H/E

I have seen some kits online for c02 cooling for intakes and inter coolers. I'm planing on building one of my own soon.

I will have a friend machine me a sprayer. Its going to be fed f4rom a long line probably from under my drivers seat where the bottles will be, up to it, using a strait paint ball gun line.

To control the bottles I think I'm going to have A couple of opening valves on the bottles and a nitrous solenoid hooked up later down the line, much like a nitrous kit.

It's going to be on the car once I get the parts, I still have to find the long line. I will write a how to on it.

Any comments or suggestions??

As for the long line, you could use steel braided hose and a couple of connectors.

what other cooling mods do you have? I do not believe that the CO2 hs the same effect on liquid to air intercoolers as air to air....there is not as much heat transfer directly to the air intake charge. you would be better off going with meth, or dual pass.....

CO2 is more expensive to buy than nitrous.

I'm soon going to get a dual pass. This is going on my Cobra H/E. I know It's not going to have quite the same effect. But, if you are familiar w/ C02 You know that it has crazy cooling power, and, though it may not be as good of an effect as on an Air to air I am sure that it will be quite noticeable on my H/E.

My plan is to soak the h/e w/ C02 before a race so it gets chilly, like I'm racing and It's 5 degrees out. Then run it through the race, to keep everything cool.

Well I've never bough nitrous, but, a C02 bottle fill is about $3.

A 20 OZ, is $3 here they are about the same price I would say. From looks alone I would say a 20oz bottle of C02 is 1/3 the size of the standered nitrous bottle.

I do not recall where i saw the fgure but i believe there was only a 5 degres temperature difference with the co2 as opposed to 15 with dual pass and a little more with meth. 5 degres hardly seems worth it

Standard nitrous bottles are 10lbs. That's 160 ounces.
