bored Occasional Poster Location: Sydney Registered: July 2002	Re: Good for a laugh Sat, 03 August 2002 00:47 I specifically said that the things I was saying had already been mentioned. I was just reinforcing what had already been said, in case I also said that I was specifically referring to common intercoolers as used on turbo cars, which, for the umpteenth time, can only reduce inlet temperatures to ambient temperature. So what are you bitching about? If you get offended when I'm paying out rice boys, then maybe you're the rice boy, and you should find some other rice boys to hang out with. I also addressed the ice / dry ice / liquid nitrogen idea, and did not dismiss it. This is already commonly in use by drag racers anyway, and is well known. Just don't expect to use it for more than short periods, like in street / race applications. I didn't mention water injection, which is capable of cooling the inlet to below ambient, nor did I mention NOS, which is commonly understood to reduce inlet temperatures. As for the aircon idea, there are a few problems with that. The first problem would be the efficiency of your system. Unless your system increases the engines power by more than the power it consumes (which is very unlikely), it will result in a drop in power. The second problem is that in order to make any reasonable gains, you would need to reduce inlet temperatures considerably. This would involve moving _lots_ of heat energy, which is going to require a large system, and also require a lot of energy to run. [Report message to a moderator]
