I was looking at their carbon fiber rims (pretty cool) and I found this. It may work well for the FD if you can get it out from under the engine bay and the hot temps under there. But I would think this would make it turbo weather all the time. It could be fun for special occasions.

This is retarded. There are better ways of lowering intake temps like water injection and intercooler sprayers. Its just somthin' you would be able to point at to wow some loser HS kid whose next question will be, "Is it turbo charged?"

this is better for drag since the chrage is only a half hr, cheaper way and a easy way to get better gain would be to hose down your IC with a fire exstinguisher will last longer then the dry ice

Also, the design is just a TUBE going through a box filled with dry ice. The air isn't gonna stick around a long time to actually GET cold. That's why radiators have a bunch of fins, inside and outside - the turbulate the air and water to transfer heat.
At full song, the air speed in the intake is somewhere in the hundreds of miles an hour. The air isn't gonna stick around long enough to get cold. Kind of like waving your hand through a candle flame - do it fast enough, and you don't even feel anything.
Now, if I could attach that to my Front Mount Intake - mad tyte yo!

oppose to dcfc3s, I do think that the air will be cold just by going through the ice box. Its the same concept as the coffee maker's hot water generating heating system. Anyways, probelem with that intake is after going through the turbo the air will be much warmer. That is the reason why the intercooler is located after the turbo. Why not cool the intercooler instead? That makes more sense to me. Talking about cooling, I've read a thread about cooling the intercooler with a can of spray or whatever it was...

Isn't there a phenomena (don't know the name) that prevents hot/warm air from flowing through a stationary cold/freezing air mass?. My point is that the pipe will develope a specific area (internally) that's much colder than the rest of the pipe. Thus creating a "wall of stationary colder air"" which would restrict warmer air to properly flow through and down towards the Turbo??
Anyone else heard of this Phenomena??

But I would agree for all the work needed it may not be worth it. Could be cool for the drag strip and only a few high HP runs.

But the turbo is going to be sucking all the time so it will force air in, won't it? The cold wall first then it going to have to cool the hot air after it. And how efficient this thing is, the world may never know.

maybe somebody should do some testing. i don't think it would be too hard to replicate something similar. say a bag or a bastic box around a intake pipe. but i think this would be more benificial on a n.a. moter because on a turbo you have an intercooler to cool the intake temp.
