ice bag on intake???

worlz08 · June 1st, 2008, 10:47 PM

ok i read in a book to put a icebag on your intake do they mean after you make a pass at the track or go down the track with it on there?????

HMUSN · June 1st, 2008, 10:50 PM

after the pass to cool down intake temps.

don't run down the 1320 with an ice pack on your intake lol

ThreeHonks302 · June 1st, 2008, 10:50 PM

before you make a pass ice the intake to get the intake air temp as cool as possible

I have run my car down the track, with a homade (secured) dry Ice bag. $10 for a 5lb block. and its way colder than Ice.

lol...thanks

baine21225 · June 2nd, 2008, 01:26 PM

i pour liquid nitrogen on mine before every pass

HMUSN · June 2nd, 2008, 01:27 PM

^ you make sure to get the motor nice and hot beforehand right?

ryans88gt · June 2nd, 2008, 01:29 PM

LOL...jbig, you did not. The intake would crack. Dry ice is -70 C

baine21225 · June 2nd, 2008, 01:30 PM

sometimes, im actually going to dump the water and run it as a coolant

I know a lot of people do this but looking at this big picture. I don't think you would really notice any difference at all. Unless I see some graphs that show differences of intake air temperature vs ambient temp at the start of the 1/4 and at the end on iced and non iced intakes, I would think it is not required. Sure the intake itself may be different and there is some heat soak when cruising around the pits I'm talking what really matters and that is the temperature of the air while you are actually running down the track.

ryans88gt · June 2nd, 2008, 02:33 PM

I've done this in the past and the only thing it does i cool your motor down faster. By the time you do a burnout the intake is already warm again.

But if you need to cool down in a hurry between rounds, it is helpful. It is also helpful to make dyno numbers a little better.

Just use N2O for the ultimate in air charge cooling.

78mach1 · June 2nd, 2008, 04:33 PM

i have a friend with a 03 cobra with a kenne bell and he says that the kenne bells are so prone to heat soak that this is a very popular thing to do

e3sean · June 2nd, 2008, 04:41 PM

put a small bucket of dry ice right in front of your intake hose while u make a run i bet that would work. or if u still had the air box put it right under the filter.

HMUSN · June 2nd, 2008, 05:09 PM

I doubt you'll pass tech though

bullitt5576 · June 2nd, 2008, 05:12 PM

wouldnt the gas from the dry ice bog the motor down?
