I am installing a powerdyne and wonder if hooking up a small heater core up front with hoses passing coolant through the throttle body would yield any cooling of the air charge? This would just be using the TB coolant pass through with unheated coolant.

1st you would need to pump the coolant thru the T/B, 2nd if you could actually measure an improvment , I for sure would be surprised. THX Ron

The surface area of the TB is so small, I doubt it would provide any benefit. As stated above, you would also need a pump to circulate the coolant.

How about a small refrigerator? If it didn't cool the TB, it would still be good for the liquid refreshments The liquid nitrogen idea is crazy. I actually have a small LN2 compressor used for the sighting system on a fighter aircraft.
