Question about DEI CryO2

Has anybody heard much about Cry02? I know it's and alternative to nitrous, and was just wondering if anybody knows how good it works, is it worth it, and how much do you gain from it (Horsepower wise).
Thanks

Re: Question about DEI CryO2

The only thing that nitrous and CryO2 have in common is that they both cool intake air. The only reason they do that is because they are compressed gasses. The DEI system is mainly used to be sprayed into turbo intercoolers basically getting them so cold that they form ice to prevent heat soak. Nitrous is an oxidizer which makes massive power really easily, but is not safe for an unsound motor.

With the Cry02 in a naturally asperated car, there is a probe that goes into the intake tract that is cooled by the C02 which cools the air. It would basically feel like you are driving in the winter. I believe if the CO2 were to be injected into the intake tract directly, it would hurt power due to the fact that CO2 is a product of combustion, not a reactant.

As far as power gains go, nitrous is definitely going to be the best bet power wise, even a sneaky pete system would add more power than the CryO2 system would.

Re: Question about DEI CryO2

Yeah I figured it wouldn't add to much. Just was interested because I saw it in JCWhitney. Thanks for the info. By the way is that speedometer that says 167 from your car?

Re: Question about DEI CryO2

I think Gale Banks stated 1% HP increase for every 10degrees you cool the incoming air...

Re: Question about DEI CryO2

The horsepower increase from this is not that much on a naturally asperated car because it doesn't spray into the intake tract, the C02 is sprayed onto a probe that is in the intake tract.

Money is definitely better spend on nitrous. Even a K&n air filter would yield more power than this kit on a naturally asperated car.
