Soooo we all know nitrous is expensive but affective. Well what about CO2 injection into the intake? I heard that you can inject it into your CAI and bring the temp of the air down to like -30 or something like that? Not sure how affective this would be on performance but it would sure sound cool (removed). My friend and I were thinkin about doing that and then buying some purge valves to install in the wheel wells so it looks and sounds like nitrous lol. I know it's a little ricey with the purge valves but I think it would be awsome as hell.

Sounds like it would look cool, but not sure about it's affectiveness.

Sounds cool, but CO2 doesn't burn so spraying it into the intake may cause you to stall out.

Hmmm, good point...maybe you spray the actual tube with the CO2 instead of injecting it into the air?

I don't if you'd cover enough surface area on the intake to get the air to a noticeably cooler temp if you just sprayed the tube. I've seen people freeze their intercoolers with a fire extinguisher before going on a drag run. That may work.There's a company that makes intakes with a dry-ice box built around the tube and they claim moderate gains.

I saw te dry ice thing...well sh*t maybe we'll just hook up the CO2 directly to the purge valves just for the affect of te steam! (removed)!

there is a bulb that goes into the intake. the co2 sprays into that and the air flows across it.mabey good for 5hp or so

satur9 is right..its a cry02 system i have one just not in my car yet..i have a post alittle while back about it..just waiting for my bodykit. itll look alot better..a coupl eof my friends have it and it is a difference that u can feel. i would definatly recommend it. and if u want the purge system also then u have to buy another switch or else it will go off into the intake when u want to just have the purge going off and vice versa...also for the c02 u can get it at any paint ball shop when u run out..its 1 bucka lbs.

Awsome, so it works! How much you think for the whole working kit including the purge valves?

well u can check out some sites the prices very....the kits are kinda price but worth the power and reactions of the people who c it happen!

I think I'll just order a NX 10lb bottle and use that to fill it instead of paying $100 for the cryO2 canister. We will just buy everything seperately.

Hey man, the more power, the better. Inder

Its thirty degrees outside right now where I live...and its very dry ...Man, the turbo loves cold weather!!!..tires are breaking loose in the 1st 3 gears.....

I envy you! I allways dream about having a turbo and a manual trans slaughtering all that opose

Hopefully in about 2 years I'm gonna turbo my GT with a full engine upgrade the guys at monkey wrench said they could probably manage 425 ish hp for $10,000 plus like another $3,000 for beefing the transmission to handle it. Need the warranty to run out and then make a few extra grand and I'll be set

I know guys that have done WI setups for $50 that use parts from Home Depot... (Hell, I was working one up for my *stock* Talon...*grin*)Another advantage to using the Wiper Res. is that Wiper Fluid is 49.5% Water, 49.5% Alcohol, and .25% Blue Coloring...and the Alcohol vaporises (and therefore *COOLS* your intake charge as well, or better than, the water does...)Drop me a line if you're interested... I'd love to turbo my GT (mildly) with the pile of knowledge that I gained from owning the Talon...but the $3000 entry fee to join the Turbo Vibe Club is a bit steep...
