empty the meth out of my res into a jug, put it in the freezer the night before track day...
wrap the res in foil, and pour freezing cold meth/water in there before hitting the 1/4 mile?

why not?

 

thatd be interesting...seems like it would work in logic...but who knows

 

Would it get any colder than it already does though? It already gets freezing but interesting none the less.

 

50/50 mix has a freezing point of -50f
so it certainly has the potential to be colder.

 

Certainly can't hurt to try.

 

i was thinking about this to ano...

 

no real cost involved, and its certainly not difficult to do...
every single degree cooler that the meth/water is at, is another degree of heat that it will draw out before it evaps.

Im definately going to give it a try.

 

jug of boost juice just went in the freezer

 

when i ran meth, w/ my fire i just put ice in instead of water while at the track, worked awesome, temps were on average 10 to 20 degrees lower, ofcourse that was after a run, and probably was getting closer to a 90/10 mixture lol

 

so, is it just regular washer fluid that you can pick up at any gas station or auto store? I've always wondered

 

Thats actually pretty damn smart........

 

wow, something that simple, i would hav never thought of....

 

It will make it harder to evaporate though?!

But I guess in the combustion chamber it wont matter so the colder the fluid the better I would assume!

 

I should bring a bunch of dry-ice in a cooler from work (can get it free) we could put the coolant in there between runs...

 

The only thing that scares me about that is a small piece getting through to the pump.

 

harder to evaporate is good!

water/meth cools by taking energy from the surrounding air (heat) to turn from liquid to gasseous form.
so by simple logic, if said water meth STARTS at a lower temp....it will require more energy to evap.

not only will that remove more heat from the blower/intake mani, but by doing so, it should allow more to actually make it to the cylinder, and do more cooling there.

at least....thats the theory anyway

 

lol

just put a jug into a cooler full of dry ice, like putting a beer on ice.

 

Yea but what about when you actually put it in at the track?

Nevermind, reading < me I guess. lol

 

ever put something extremely hot on something extremely cold??? what happens? it cracks

 

i'm excited to see the results

 

i guess all those people spraying nitrous at -130* must be crackin **** left and right then!

thinky before posty....

 

"You've just been PWNED!"

 

have seen people put bags of ice on the s/c with no problems.....

 

just skeptical.

but if you do freeze it how long does it hold that temp til you get to the track? will cool down considerably

 

these are all things ill be finding out tommorow
Ill probably take it in my cooler.
ill be insulating the resevoir too, to keep the temp low as long as possible.
plus my kit is trunk mount, which helps ALOT
