i got bored....look at this intake idea

I got bored one day and i came up with this design...just tell me what u think about it and tell me if it would be workable....u can proabbly install two of these if u really wanted to, but i dont know. The nitrous perger is for the exit ....so u can sound and look cool like u have N2O

Why you dont just JET some Co2 or No2 ON your intercooler ?

You will be able to freeze the intercooler, it is perfect for drag or something like that.

That sounds like a good idea but where are u going to get a intercooler that size?? u would have to order just core and have very custom end tanks made, but then u have to figure how much the CO2 will disipated and so one and so forth.............

I imagine the restriction caused by the "radiator" in the system would negate the effects of cooling the air. It seems far more complicated than is really necessary. Put your efforts into a decent cold-air intake instead.

why not just route a hose around the intake pipe like a coil?? That way you would have no restriction inside your intake, and you would still have the cooling effect. Then you could discharge it outside of the engine bay, like down low towards the ground, or if you REALLY wanna be rice you could make it look like that Skyline in the beginning of 2 **** 2 Curious...

Or you can run a "Cascade" refregeration system with freon 410 and 13... you will drop your intake temp. to like -50F..

But you should get a good Cold Air intake.. it will cost less. And for a N/A car... is it really needed anyway...

I would agree that the best bet would be to do the intake pipes. Aside form being easier to make probably, it would also could be done right next to the engine instead of before you run it over the top of the engine through the throttle body and back again over the top and then into the engine. Cool it off right as it's going in. I don't think you'd honestly see that much gain unless you made it contact all the air going in. I guess that may mean it would be better to do your initial idea?

diamond, followed by silver, followed by copper, followed by aluminium.

i think you nwould be better off taking small copper pipe and bending it around in a coil to fit in the intake then running CO2 through it

Diamond is not a metal as it is made of Carbon 12 molecules....so therefore thats wrong...
