Cooling bits for the intake

[Azman]

Hey guys

I'm gonna hide from the flak already

HAs anyone ever seen this system in use or used it themselves?
Just thinking of ways to reduce the intake temp to the engine as much as possible, I know it is expensive. Has an intercooler spray (end of line) and also a fuel chiller and an in line air chiller to assist air cooling. Apparently it can reduce air intake temp by up to 30deg

Looks interesting anyway.

Why would you get flak? i've seen them used on RR but never setup on an actual moving vehicle.

Don't know thought that it may be a bit edgy if mr OE reared his head. Just a thought as I would imagine that some of the big power boys may be using something like this to keep the intake temp down a touch, wonder what sort of power gains it would give (as sooler air = more air = more fuel = bigger bang - right?)

I see no harm in using additional cooling for higher density of the incoming charge, that's a smart thing to do - but it's an expensive way of doing it, and tree huggers will hate you even more for releasing carbon dioxide!

It's an old trick in many respects, spraying on carbon dioxide, same as you get in fire extinguishers ...which is exactly what Nascar teams do (or used to do) with the water radiators of cars for qualifying. Empty a fire extinguisher onto the radiator and tape up all the radiator ducts for quicker qualifying laps.
