hey guys, i was wondering if any of you have researched the CRYO2 intake bulb. it is a bulb type unit that you stick into your intake tube, and it supposedly lowers intake temps by alot. i geuss it works by CO2 charging the bulb to freezing temps then the air hits it and thus cooler air. not sure if anyone has covered this before, tried looking in the forums and couldnt find it. thanks for the help.
 
Here you go. http://www.designengineering.com/products.asp?m=sp&pid=4

Product Description
The CryO² Air Intake consists of an aerodynamically designed bulb with a cryogenic chamber which is mounted in a 4" segment of air tube. The air passes over the bulb, heat is removed from the air charge resulting in a colder, denser, more powerful charge. Dyno testing showed a reduction in intake air temperature of more than 50 degrees. The CryO² Air Intake can be used on turbocharged, supercharged or naturally aspirated applications. Multiple units can be used for colder results. Installs in minutes and comes with silicone connection sleeve, hose clamps and connection / vent hose.

thank you for the reply. do you or anyone else in the dsm community use this devise at all, if so how well does it work?
 
In theory, it should work pretty well. The teardrop design is a very "fluid friendly" design. Plus, the cooler your intake temperature the greater the thermal efficiency of the combustion process so you should see horsepower gains.
 
I like the pass through design. I've seen a picture where the outlet of the "bulb" was hooked up to an intercooler sprayer bar. Talk about dual cooling. :)
 
Really old thread but I wanted to know if OP ever ended up using the cryogenic bulb or if anybody has any experience from running it. I'm debating if I want to just spray the intercooler or use the intake tube with bulb. It seems like the intake bulb is more efficient.
 
Back from the dead, eh? 11 years...

It all sounds like a PITA to me. I highly doubt you would pick up any more (noticeable) power. Might as well run meth-injection if you want to run more boost/timing on pump gas. I always saw these kinds of things as gimmicks; kind of like the e-charger (electric supercharger). Good luck, though.
 
Post-turbo cooling using this method (or similar) would be akin to Dodge's implementation of running the intake charge through an A/C rad as they do on the Demon, so it's not an entirely wasteful way to cool the air temps. I figure after the turbo would make more sense than before, though, but a smaller insert would be needed.
