RE: CO2 Cooling
Actually, compressed CO2 has great cooling qualities. Sure, it can get sort of pricey, but if you're using it for say, Road Racing, or Drag racing, that could do a TON for intercooler temps, or even raw intake temps...

RE: CO2 Cooling
It gets the radiator pretty cold, but I haven't been able to run a test to see if it will make any noticable temp changes because I haven't figured out how to access the on board diagnostic digital read out. I've been told that you can get a digital read out of temp, oil pressure, speed, rpm, etc on the digital odometer display. Does any one know how to do this?

from my paintball playing days i recall a bottle that big would cost like 30 bucks to fill. how long do you expect itll last? i might have missed it, but how exactly does it work? is it always open?

There is a short clip of the system on an SRT 4 if you just click on the link in my sig you can watch it.

its actually -109 F according to green valley chemical. so itll definatly freeze antifreeze or worse get your radiator so cold it burst

I appreciate the concern, but I know for a fact that it won't freeze the coolant, it would take a large amount of CO2, sprayed over a long period of time to bring a liquid, which is near 100C , to -60C ( the aprox freezing point of 60% (W/W) ethylene glycol/water mixture).

RE: CO2 Cooling
It's almost like an Intercooler Sprayer.
Does this model have a toggle switch?? All it'd really take is a few quick feathered hits, and the I/C would be ice cold..
Besides, ambient temps would be approx. +200F surface area when sprayed.
The only setback, is that our engines love running towards the hot-side of things...
