Hey guys I am thinking of the Cryo2 system in my car... I have a 93 N/A... i thought maybe i would not have to check the plugs every time i used it like you do on Nitrous

Any one with info on this set up please let me know!

I want to go as safe as possible till the engine pukes and I do TT swap!

 

Well, after the last post "to nos or not to nos", it got me thinking about this system and the actual numbers that have been produced from it. From what I found and read, this system is mainly designed for any forced induction application (ie. turbo, nitrous). There are basically three ways this sytem works, you can use one, two, or all three methods.

*This is quoted from the site below*

1. The first is a billet aluminum fuel bar extension that goes in the fuel line. The liquid CO2 freezes the bar through which the fuel passes to a balmy -80 degrees fahrenheit.

2. The cold stuff then moves to an aerodynamically designed bulb with a cryo chamber installed in a 4-inch section of the air intake. Heat is removed when air passes over the bulb, reducing the incoming air temperature by 50 degrees fahrenheit and creating a denser more powerful charge.

3. The final part of the CryO2 system is an intercooler sprayer that vents the liquid CO2 directly onto the intercooler’s fins. I’ve seen this last part of the process actually produce ice on an intercooler.

I know this is all just click and paste research, but looking around at other forums, these methods look like the primary ways to use the CryO2 system. It seems to me that there is still much dispute about what the system can and will actually do for you in terms of power, but if you are spraying NO2 or running a turbo system, then this kit is a good idea to keep those temps down. I guess it is in essence the same idea as a water/alky injection system, just used in different ways then actually direct injection.

BTW here is the link i mentioned Here

 

i know you cant believe everything you read but.....in a catalog i have been looking at it says it increases power in a N/A car similiar to nitrous without some of the damage to your engine my main fear of nitrous is having to check the plugs all the time!

 

I see, I just don't think that the power your gonna get for the price is worth it over Nitrous, the system is like $350 and all you are probably gonna see is like 35-50 hp, and i'll bet thats an overstatement, personally, I don't see much reason to use it unless it were for a TT app. or if you were already using NO2 and just wanted to keep the intake and fuel temps down.

You've got a point about the plugs though, w/o this being injected, it won't have any negative effect on your plugs, cylinders, seals, valves, etc. it is just ment for cooling down the system w/ certain objects placed in your intake, fuel lines, and intercooler, I guess its up to you to use it, its definately safer than nitrous, no question there.

 

after running vova's blazt program on our cars and seein the fuel temps go over 130 degrees, lowering the fuel temp doesn't sound like a bad idea, TT or not.

 

350$ for 35-50hp sopunds reasonable to me for a bolt on!

Plus i also like adding accessories to my car that make it stand out..... and the tank custom mounted in my hatch will look awesome!

I do realize however that it is mainly designed for forced induction if i will also see a gain in performance and have a nice looking tank in the back I ll be happy.

but i have alot of maintenance to do before i can really even consider buying this system i have got the 120k service coming up and i have an electrical issue also which sucks

 

I like water injection over those kits.

*For 1 water is cheaper and much easier to obtain than constantly recharging CO-2 tanks.

*CO2 cost money, water is free.

*Most CO2 kits are rather bulks and take up a lot of space that the Z32 really just doesn't have to spare, your standard water injection kits don't.

*You can utilize some of the stock hardware to interface with the water injection kit to save space (ie, the stock rear reservoir)....can't do it with the CO2 kit

*In the event of an accident - nothing is going to come and kit you in the back of the head like...say...a huge freaking CO2 tank.

* You can add a mix of water/methanol for the addition of a constant octane boost for a lot more power.

* By running water injection your emmisions will go down

* By running water injection a lot of the carbon deposits left in the engine will be cleaned out (ie, valves, head face, spark plugs, O2 sensors, etc)

* Water injection kits are cheapers in some case, to CO2 kits

* Nozzle sprayers can be fit anywhere - (in the intake tract to lower air intake temps, in front of intercoolers to help cool down charges, etc.)

Just my $.03....but good luck.

 

i have never heard of water injection i need some more information nor have i ever seen water kits for sale anywhere!

I am not sure if your being sarcastic but if not it sounds like a good idea and worth considering My favorite things about cars are that they are machines and you can modify any machine in many ways if you have the knowledge but unfortunately i dont

But my dad does and he s gonna help me learn about my car!

I never thought about the space the tank would fill up in the rear of my car and the 300zx is my only car in the household and im married!

there was a big thread about it a while back, with lots of good info from Zgringo, a member driven off by snot nosed little brats like (banned mamber). click here for the thread. theres a lot of bickering, but good info too. Zgringo was a good guy and a library of info, i wish he'd come back, but you'll see why he left.
