CO2 cool down air temps?
Random question:
Who has any idea if CO2 would make an noticeable difference to air temps entering the motor?
Explanation to follow....

yeah to "fog" an intercooler or use it to cool something yes it would cool down the temp but injecting it is not good.....at school we spray nitrous direct port and also spray nitrous on the intercooler for even higher numbers...(ford Lightning)

^yeah like I said we use Nitrous and get some good numbers but personally think it's a waste of money to just spray ON the IC but hey not my money for the Nitrous!

to solve your issue with your K&N...buy a better intake...you know...like the RB...
and your little experiment is only going to net you .5 HP with 10x the energy required to do it...
i'm just telling you right meow...

I will be FI, I am buying a ProCharger off a buddy this summer. Money isnt really an issue either, so dont worry about that. I just wanted an opinion, not a bunch of ******* feedbacks. Thanks.

Not so much.
Where I am, I can guarantee a steady intake temperature of minus 30*F, and it don't do squat for my power.
If you go FI, the cooler temp will be after the intercooler, and never seen by the ECU sensors, so the mixture and timing would already be set for the intake temp.
It would also be difficult to keep all the CO2 out of your intake air, due to the proximity of IC and CAI. Even a little (10%/vol) would negate any benefit.....

Your question...fails...
Your attempted recovery also...fails...
Prochargers...without oil...fails...
Air with CO2...ignition...fails...

But you could route the vent to the wheel wells and have fog billowing out from behind the wheels at stop lights. That would be so cool it would have to at least 30-50 HP.
Twinkie, I tried that once and all I did was burn my yambag really badly.
