Crazy idea will it work.
Crazy idea will it work. Me and a friend were talking bout cars, and he came up with a pretty original idea. He was talking about trying to re route the freon line through the intake, or custom make a line with a little electric pump to push cold watter through the intake.
The idea is to try to make the air colder going into the engine. Will this be worth looking into or trying? Im guessing since nobody has it done it isnt worth it.
I know this is just like a cheap intercooler, but is this something i should try.

for all your troubles i think the gains will be negligible.
ford was planning on doing this with their next gen lightning, dont think it made it to production, was suppose to be worth 50 hp, but that was on a supercharged engine

I agree.
At that point its called an air to water (or whatever liquid you want to use) intercooler.

Forget water. There is an agent you can spray into your intake that will give you gains from around 75 to 300+ horsepower! Try a search on something called "Nitrous Oxide". Not too much info about this magic gas on the net, but you might find a few hits with a google search.

Front mounted intercoolers will cool the intake air temps too and are used with forced induction. Air to air coolers are not as efficient as air to water but air to air intercoolersare are still more effective because the plumbling and pump system for water is not required and the plumbing system for water is heavy and is another system that can fail. There isn't much that can fail with air to air.

lol funny answers. To be honest unless you looking for power whats the point to cool the ccharge? if your looking for power why not do nitorus? methanal for force induction? NA doesnt need a cooler charge unless you road course race for hours in arizona. just my stupid .02

^^ Is that a joke or is that serious? Cuz I wouldnt think you would want all those particulates and all the other exhaust **** in your intake going back into the combustion chamber. Im going to assume thats a joke...but maybe Im retarded
