buy some dry ice for the track... track should let you run dry ice down the track... no drippage... and its like -98790798798798798 degrees :o

ice, normal or dry does NOTHING for a WRX. my best time of the night was on my 2nd back to back run, neither the dry or wet ice improved a damn thing. also water and nitrous spray kits dont do anything, unless you are suffering from extreme heatsoak.... I.E. driving your car for 2 hours THEN racing someone. the stock shit is more then efficient

So your telling me the car doesn't run better on cold days? In my head I would think the ice is similating a cold day??? I unno, IMO dry ice would do somthing.

with the n2o spray kits-
lets say the regular carge temp is zero, you then turn the n2o spray on then it turns it to -20 charge.... cooler charges are better??? No?

but when its hot out, that cold intercooler wears off quickly, when the air is just cool, that will help better

thats why you buy dry ice and leave it on the ic... dry ice freezes the whole thing to the point where if you were to lick it your ass would have 3rd degree burns I unno, maybee i'll pick up some dry ice next time I hit the track.

but like billy said if you leave dryice on it, the air would not flow over it and you would be loosing more than gianing, it would actually get heatsoked quicker because the heat rising of the engine and tranny would get cought under it when you stop.

You don't need airflow if the ice keeps the ic frozen down the track.

"Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. A block of dry ice has a surface temperature of -109.3 degrees F (-78.5 degrees C). "

You can light the ic on fire with dry ice on it and I don't think it would become heat soaked till the dry ice runs out.

but the dry ice could only cool mostly what it touches... the air flows through more than just that top part of the IC... wouldnt that itself cause a problem? it could cause erratic intake temperature i suppose, and fuck with the timing advance? i can tell a big difference between full advance, or so it feels, and when it pulls timing?
