I was looking at my sport compact catalog that came from summit today and came across the CRYO2 intake system. Its actually quite simple. I was just curious if anyone has considered this type of thing to keep your air intake cooler at the track.

 

I've thought about it, but for my last car (Eclipse GST). The way I see it, as fast as the air moves through the intake it wouldn't make that big a difference. Then on the other hand you have that condenser sitting in your intake impeding air flow.

 

is it a big piece to install? I was thinking it wouldn't be anything huge.

 

Never seen it in person, but you gotta figure it's made for 3" intake pipe so it wouldn't be too small. I've always thought it looked big from the pictures. But he!!, I guess it would be worth a shot, assuming it doesn't cost too much. It might actually give some gains, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

 

well it would be better than using ice bags like so many people do to cool their intake system

 

Hahaha, sorry, I still get a kick out of it when they call grocery getters sport compacts.

I just use a bag of ice personally, not worth the extra money to buy some aftermarket piece.

 

would would actually be cool is if someone could make some sort of refridgeration system to line the intake manifold and tb. then it would cool nicely with less water dripping onto the optispark.
